“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  ... We wrestle  ...  against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Eph. 6:11-1311Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:11‑13)). Much of the Western world has been blessed with the gospel and the light of God that it brings. That light has worked against the power and rulers of the darkness, so that Satan tends to work as “an angel of light” in Christian lands. But where there is heathen darkness, his power and working is more directly seen and felt. As the Western world is going back into heathen darkness, rejecting the knowledge of God, so the evil part of the spirit world is becoming more evident in its activities, including demon possession. We should not treat it lightly; we need to be sure to put on the whole armor of God to be able to withstand the working of the enemy in this evil day.
