Spiritual Warfare
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
My wife walked out of the airport restroom. She looked as if she was
going to throw up. We were about to go through the airport checkpoint
when we paused.
"I feel awful. It came on suddenly. I don't know if I should go," she
said.
We were going on an overnight trip to meet with a workplace ministry
about a possible joint venture project. It was important for me to have
her there. But she was feeling so badly and would probably be miserable
traveling in her condition.
"You may be right. Perhaps you should not go."
We were both disappointed. We began to transfer my clothing into my bag.
We prayed together and I proceeded to the gate. I was disappointed,
perplexed, and a bit angry.
"Lord, I don't know about this. If this is not of Your hand, I pray
against it in Jesus' name. I pray for Angie's healing right now and I
bind this spirit of infirmity."
I got to the gate about ten minutes later. As I was waiting to check in,
I looked up and there was Angie.
"I'm going. I kept asking if I should go and a voice said, 'No.' I
changed my mind three times. But I finally decided that I am not dead
and I should be going on this trip."
We got on the plane and within a few minutes, the symptoms of illness
were completely gone. The symptoms were a counterfeit. She was fine the
rest of the trip. It was critical for her to participate with me because
it became a major turning point in my own spiritual pilgrimage. She
needed to experience what I was going to experience.
There is the spiritual and there is the physical. The spiritual involves
two forces. One is good. One is evil. We must realize that the spiritual
is more real than the physical. Satan has his agents in the world to
thwart God's purposes. We need to recognize when these are at work. Pray
that you might have spiritual eyes and ears to discern these forces
today in your work.
