According to Ephesians 6:11,
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye might be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Verse 12,
“FOR we wrestle not against fresh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
The Rulers of the darkness of this world are a classification of demonic spirits who spread darkness through trade of any kind.
You would think it is the bad people that are making it impossible for people to live.
Satan works through bad people to advance his agenda. The Bible says, calls it a wiles. The biblical definition of wiles is schemes. He is lying in wait to snare you or to trap you!
‘THE THIEF COMES TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY BUT JESUS COMES THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY’ (John 10:10)
The article below gives us a picture of the spiritual battle that is being waged across the nation.
Read “Retail theft has gotten so bad Walmart will build a police station inside an Atlanta store” on SmartNews: https://l.smartnews.com/p-JiZwU/pQlETb
The world system only knows how to tackle the problem by taking away our freedom or adding the cost of doing business to the merchandise we buy from their stores. The Retailer’s National Association estimated 100 billion dollars is lost through retail fraud.
There is relief:
1. Make Satan work for you, Ecclesiastes 2:26,
“FOR God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also vanity and vexation of spirit.”
2. Make Satan give back seven times what he has stolen through fraud and deceit, Proverbs 6:30-31
“Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; but if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.”
3. Rest in the LORD, Psalms 37:7-9
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. CEASE FROM ANGER, and forsake wrath: FRET NOT THYSELF IN ANY WISE TO DO EVIL. FOR evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, shall inherit the earth.”
God knows how to get it to you, learn to trust him everyday!
Grace & peace!
