Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

FORCES OF EVIL

We must keep in mind that our primary source of conflict in life is not circumstances or other people who irritate, offend, annoy, or hurt us; they are not the real enemy. The enemy with whom we are at war is Satan and a multitude of evil spirits (Matthew 4:10).

These powers of darkness are the spiritual forces of evil (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 John 5:19) that energize, influence and control ungodly people (Ephesians 2:2). These dark forces oppose God’s purposes, plans and desires (Genesis 3:1-7; Daniel 10:12-13; Matthew 13:38-39). They frequently attack people – particularly Christians – using various schemes and strategies (1 Peter 5:8).
There are multitudes of these evil powers (Revelation 12:4, 7), and they are highly organized into an empire of evil with rank and order (Ephesians 2:2; John 14:30).
