The darkness comes
upon us, the wicked multiply
There is no fear of
God among them
Torrents of
ungodliness overtake the land
Deceit and treachery
and death
Pride and arrogance
and greed
The enemy's foothold
grows in the heart of the weak
For where the darkness
grows there is no strength
Lawlessness abounds
Evil pervades
Truth is rejected
Man's heart of stone
is filled with wickedness
They delude themselves
with their own wisdom
They call evil good
and good evil for the darkness has overtaken them
How shall we embark upon
this battle?
How can we fight
against this enemy?
…be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand
firm against the schemes of the devil.
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.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be
able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (Eph
6:10-13)
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the
flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely
powerful for the destruction of fortresses. (2 Cor 10:3, 4)
