Our study this week is from Ephesians 6:12:
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The first point in this verse is that we are not fighting “flesh and blood” or other people, but a power that seeks to control them. It is true that the devil will almost always use people to do his... -

With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.
