Ephesians 6:10-13 ESV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
The whole armor of God might be summed up as the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit of Christ who can command Satan to move out of the way and depart.
Satan embodies the evil in the heavenly places and slithers in the dust of the earth, consuming mankind with the voracious appetite of death.
Those who stand with Christ will stand firm in this evil age against those who are opposed to God. It is through the light of God that one can see in this present darkness, the light possessed by the children of light. That light is our protection and sword in this spiritual battle.
