+ wrestle

“Fighting” From Dictionary of Biblical Words:

is with wicked spirits in heavenly placer (Eph. 6). It is not with the flesh which is to be reckoned dead, nor with the world to which we are crucified, but with Satan and his angels, who do all they can to prevent us enjoying our spiritual blessings, or making them known to others. For this conflict we require the complete armor described in Eph. 6 The warfare is purely spiritual, but its character is aggressive, not merely defensive. See Armor.L

“Warfare” From Dictionary of Biblical Words:

The Christian conflict the believer has to maintain against Satan according to Eph. 6 Observe the Christian is not called upon to war against the world, he is crucified to it, neither is he to war against his own evil nature, but to reckon it dead (Rom. 6) His warfare is defensive and aggressive; he holds fast what he has against all the assaults of the enemy, and attacks the powers of wickedness and darkness wherever he finds them.
