Week 6, Day 3

There is a moment in our movie when Han is asked about the old stories of Jedi and unseen forces that can move objects and impact lives. Han turns and says, “It’s true. All of it”. There is an unseen force. It’s not just mumbo jumbo, as Han Solo once thought in his younger years. Not only in the movie, but in life, I think Han is right! He has seen into the unseen, the world behind the physical world. A realm we all need to acknowledge, and an evil that is just as real in life.

“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”

Ephesians 6:12

Paul tells us that we are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents coming from the very headquarters of evil. These forces want to control our lives and make us serve evil rather than God. Therefore, you must wear the whole armor of God so that you will be able to resist evil’s power. After all, the enemy is constantly scheming to take you down.

Read 1 Peter 5:8-9, Ephesians 6:10-18, 1 Timothy 6:12, 1 Corinthians 2:10-16

-How do you see this battle playing out in your life? How do we resist and fight the battle God’s way? Do you see a tendency for Christians to get distracted into fighting the wrong battles?
