And so there's a lot going on there, but it's some evidence in scripture that we actually have some demonic forces, maybe some fallen angels that are actually in charge of geographic areas.

And so when you go back into Ephesians, again, it's talking about principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this age.

That seems to be talking also about forces that are controlling narratives, right?

You think about the media, Hollywood, universities, all these places that we've talked about.

We often wonder, why is it so secular?

Why is it the way that it is?

Well, some of this you can see in Ephesians 6 is pretty much explained in some of these verses.

So I don't want to oversimplify, but that gives us a little bit of an overview there.

You go to verse 13, and this is really interesting.

Take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

So it's not saying, oh, you might encounter evil.

It's telling you, you are going to encounter evil.

And what does Scripture tell us?

Resist the devil and he will flee.

Now, how do you do that?

And it's really interesting because as Ephesians 6 goes on, it's essentially talking about this shield of faith, right?

Righteousness.

Pray, scripture, reading the Bible, knowing the Bible.

That is the number one thing.

The Bible is the truth.
