Overcoming the Forces of Darkness

“We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” [1]

These evil principalities, powers, dark rulers, and spiritual hosts of wickedness want to keep people from believing in Christ.

“If our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” [2]

“Heavenly Father, please open the eyes of the spiritually blind. Please shine Your light upon those sitting in darkness. I as this in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ.”

I have found it helpful when witnessing to lost souls to use my authority from the Lord to bind the devil in the Name of Jesus. To plead the blood of Jesus shed for them. We overcome the forces of darkness by the blood of the Lamb. We want the Lord to pierce the darkness in their soul and reveal Himself to them. I pray the Holy Spirit to blow upon them like a mighty wind and reveal to them through my witness that Jesus Christ is indeed their Lord and Savior.
