Spiritual Battle

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ~Ephesians 6;12 (NIV)

Not everything can be seen with the eyes or heard with the ears. This is why developing intuition is so important. The most important battles are the ones that take place at the levels of your mental capacity, your emotions and your spirituality, and for those you need to develop the gifts of the heart.

We all encounter energies in other people and situations that feel very wrong to us--that just don't sit right on our hearts. Very often, our minds do not know what to make of this information and ignore it until something bad has occurred. When these feelings of anxiety occur, know that we all have the power to effect the energies of the situation, regardless of whether or not it has already become a problem.

Questions are an important part of the process. What is going on here? Is the relationship harmful or helpful? Will following through with this action keep me happy and safe or will it result in problems? Who does this effect? What will keep me or the other person safe? Once you have established exactly what is going on, you are better able to fix what is wrong.

Situations we become aware of that involve mainly ourselves are pretty easy to deal with. We can directly change our actions and the ways in which we think and feel to change the energies of the situation. We can also ask for extra protection as well as guidance to navigate our interactions with the others involved. Asking for spiritual help is important because there are always energies that effect what happens in the physical. It is as easy as calling on your guardian angels or envisioning yourself encased in a protective circle of light as you take action to deal with the situation at hand.

There will be times when the situations that come up will involve people we are close to, and those situations become tricky as we cannot force others to do what we believe will benefit them. They have to come to those conclusions on their own in order to effect true positive change.

These are the times the spiritual battle becomes intense. Allow your heart to be your guide. Call upon all the hosts of heaven for protection: ask for all the help that is needed. Ask for situations to occur that will show your loved one exactly what problems and traps are likely to come up so they see the importance of changing their behavior. Ask for earthly angels to appear in their lives--people your loved one can look up to for help, guidance and answers.

You can also send your own infinite supply of heart energy to the situation. I often envision a literal ball of energy being sent from myself to the person in need. Understand that your own connection to heart and to Oneness are what you draw this unlimited power supply from. This energy does not deplete because it is part of an eternal cycle of giving and receiving. When you send this sort of energy, you are sending it intentionally in a particular direction. It does not change the actual cycle.

Problems are an indication that something is not quite right on the spiritual plane. There are times in our lives when we all must fight spiritual battles in order to finally overcome those situations we endure. Understand you have tools and power to fight and defend yourself and others in the spiritual realms.

Spiritual battles are real. Use the spiritual tools at your disposal to overcome them.
