[@deloresbryant8243]

I was studying Spiritual Warfare. Looking up words from the scripture-Ephesians 6:12. You are using all the same words I found to describe Principalities, & powers. But, with so much more revelation. Thank you for being here. I believe the Lord is helping me understand what I am dealing with so I can reclaim what has been stolen and bullied out of me. This is wonderful ✨️

[@markg61]

This is the best explaintion and teaching Ive ever heard on Eph 6:12 Clear, concise and educational. Simply AWESOME

Good afternoon, Pastor Renner thank you so much for taking time to teach about it. I ask for prayer for my husband who has not been saved yet. He has listened about the good news but his family influence is really bad. I have been praying for him for the las 13 years. So, definitely this is a battle.

[@RennerMinistries]

Thank you for sharing this request with us. In the name of Jesus, we come in agreement that your husband will come to know and love the Lord. We speak that the right influences come through into his life so that he can know Him, and truly become a new creature in Christ. We believe this in Jesus name, Amen! We'd love to pray with you.

Having said that we as believers can unite our prayer as active members of the Caption of the hosts CHRIST JESUS - That is our position of being seated with CHRIST. Abide IN HIM

[@Timbo-Brotherman]

I believe High places also means individuals of authority, individuals in high positions. These individuals are lead by wicked evil spirits. So it’s letting us know that the majority of individuals that hold the high positions in our military industrial complex, judicial system,financial institutions,education systems,political so on and so forth.

[@Comrade2face]

I agree well said, god save the good christians of this strange world, heaven is our real home

[@ely8200]

Hey Timothy Breedlove, he literally meant what he meant heavenly hosts or spiritual hosts just above the dome, remember Daniel 10:2 when Daniel fasted for 21 days and his answers were held by the prince of the kingdom of Persia in the heavenly realm where Lucifer was cast after his shenanigan in heaven and angel Michael had to be sent, it is just above the firmament in the abyss no more no less.

Well, thank you pastor for the nice class.

[@brotherbrenden]

Very well explained brother. I agree with what you have said. Trying to get believers to commit to a daily prayer time as Paul mentions later on in this chapter of ephesians, is incredibly difficult. Most believers would rather watch TV and feast on lies, deceit, murder, adultry etc etc. But nevertheless, I will continue to pray in the spirit for the saints and ministers of the gospel. As He wants me to. Amen

Blessings friend! We are blessed to pray for you - "So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins."

[@oldmanjoe6808]

With your discourse at around 20 minutes, it comes to light what is meant when Peter says in 1Pet.4:18 and context. 1Jn.5:19 and Eph.2:1-3 et al. concur. To know these things by the faith given elect believers is a horror story in itself. We must always give thanks to God for the strength which comes with salvation by Jesus Christ, our Savior and God Almighty, knowing that without Him and His Holy Spirit who indwells us, and His Word, we'd crumble, fall victim to these armies of evil spirits, which the unbelievers have no defense against.

Thank you sir

[@kisimanichoir-lutete9130]

Thank you sir for this teaching, I have always wanted to know the differences between these four evil forces; principalities, powers, Rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in the high places. I hear your explanation on the meaning of high places regarded in these verses. I however thought it was the places mentioned in 1Kings 3:4 "The King went to Gibeon to offer sacrifice, for that was the most important high place and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar." How is this high place Solomon offered the sacrifice to God different from the one in which the spiritual wickedness operates sir? Please help with insight here.

[@margaretagustus2801]

Though looking face to face with people around us these principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wckedness in high places use these (people/witches) to express their wickedness through in this earth to get Satan's job done. Lord have mercy!. Come Lord Jesus come!.

[@catherinecroker283]

[@HappyinJesus]

Anybody else kind of surface in your sleep sometimes and become aware of spiritual wrestling somewhere above you and loosely connected to you (the spiritual affect of my words I think?) but still the battles is apart from/outside of you? So this has happened like 3-4 times for me in recent months. I never "see" anything but can only sense it because it kind of wakes me briefly but only long enough for me to throw out a bit of heartfelt prayer but then I go back to sleep. Weird.

[@piggymalone1]

So how do we become more organised, committed and disciplined?

[@melissasharma3662]

I’m not a member of the ministry, but this is what my answer would be. #1 In order for anything to be organized, in order to command commitment and discipline, the 1st thing that’s needed is a leader. We have one ultimate and supreme leader, Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), and under him we would have delegated leadership in various degrees and positions. With that comes #2 which is, in effect, those delegated positions. Who are the armies of prayer warriors, who are the teachers instilling real understanding of what we need to know, instilling valuable knowledge and strategies, who are those who are caretakers of the brothers and sisters, those especially gifted with empathy and the ability to encourage, to feed love and courage to those who are struggling to keep running the race...the leader among all of these, under Yeshua of course, is the one who can recognize these gifts & delegate responsibilities accordingly. Under each person would be other people to whom he or she could delegate other responsibilities and so on, which brings us to #3 which is people who understand that they are not leaders or are not appointed to certain tasks & have the willingness and ability to submit to those above them so they can be directed to effectively serve others around them or listen to those who are placed above them to teach them or train them in the things they need to know or do. You can’t have fighting and grappling for power when you want an effective team or army. Everybody has their gifts and abilities, it’s how they are all used together that gives a unified front, a strong army. With that, for each and every person in that unit of organized leaders and followers, workers, teachers, etc...comes the final point and that would be, #4 each individual taking care of their own spiritual, and even physical needs. We need to each be spiritually feeding ourselves with prayer, Bible study, listening to knowledgeable teachers, etc...but also, honestly, being responsible to take care of our physical temples by eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. We have to do all we can because the spiritual battles affect not only the mental, but the physical, and vise versa. If we don’t take care of our bodies it can leave us weak & tired, which makes us an easier target. All of these things on the individual basis as well as the corporate work together. That’s what makes sense to me, anyway.

[@piggymalone1]

@@melissasharma3662 Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply!

[@onehumanbeingatatime357]

To become more organized, committed, and disciplined like the enemy of our souls we need to do what Paul talks about in Phil 3.14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. In the video, Mr. Renner said that the devil is committed, organized, and disciplined; and, we Christians have more power than Him. So if we have more power than Him and not using it? well, that's where the press comes in. And the word commitment can for your purposes be changed to "Why," do anything at all? Why do you want to press? be more organized, committed, and disciplined, why? Your answer will then answer your original question.

[@awakenchildofgod5556]

And by the way wrestling means wrestling not talking about games, our souls are more important than some game

[@g3nrg1]

Hasn't Jesus defeated the principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places? Being in Him means we can/have defeated it as well? If not, then how do we?

[@ndongengone7284]

by putting on the authority that Christ has given you

[@francineharris9473]

The problem is that everyone is not taught how to defeat him, and people are lazy and don't want to fight and give in. This is why the Bible say that we should take it by force. If you recall even the devil tried to temp Jesus so who are we. You must also have power and not just a believer, Read Act 19th chapter and Acts, 2: 38 or the entire chapter God has defeated them but we must do something also and take it by force. You have many carnal minded christians that walk in the flesh and few spiritual minded ones'

Could high places be positions i.e. presidency?

[@lesiebrown2509]

yes

[@ndongengone7284]

It means what it means first, but it can also have a secondary connotation concerning senior leaders. But it means first of all that there is indeed an organized and well hierarchical demonic kingdom having for residence the sky and the space surrounding the planet. This hierarchy fights ardently the prayers of Christians and tries to monopolize the answers of God to his prayers. Like the case of Daniel whose response from the angel Gabriel was delayed because he was fighting against a demonic princely which had authority over all Persia.
