Ephesians 6:12 New English Translation (NET Bible)

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.

Beyond me

A disregard for sin oppresses my spirit

with compromise in tow, I ignore my “Him”.

Conscience will grow dull in a quick fashion

until all feeling’s gone and I’m a “might have been”.

My spirit then imprisoned and the soul without guidance.

When my spirit is oppressed my mind can’t function well.

An attitude of indifference will clothe me like a garment

and selfishness will flourish as my pride will swell.

Exercise my spirit to oppose oppression?

Can I resist it with prayer and how about God’s intuition?

Jesus knows my weakness surely He’ll make me stronger

He removes the powers of evil beyond the soul’s recognition.
