I wasn’t opportune to watch the second leg of the semifinal match of Copa Del Rey between two Spanish rivals, Real Madrid and F.C Barcelona on April 5, 2023. Barcelona went to that game with one goal advantage, but the tide turned against them when their opponent trounced them 4:0 on the night. Giving his post-match review of the game, the coach of Barcelona said, “This is Real Madrid; if you don’t kill them they will kill you”. Spiritual things often lend themselves to explanations in day-to-day occurrences. That response from the coach applies to spiritual warfare.

“Spiritual things often lend themselves to explanations in day-to-day occurrences.”

To the Ephesians, Paul wrote, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
