When you hear "spiritual warfare," what comes to mind? Demons? Prayer? Attacks? What about the lies you believe, the temptations you keep giving in to, or the thoughts that pull you away from trusting God? Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our struggle includes spiritual opposition. But recognizing the enemy doesn't mean blaming every difficulty on him.
