The Battle Is Spiritual

For 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. Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

I believe nuggets of wisdom can be found in the Bible. This particular quote is one of them. It hints about other realms and dimensions in which you can find problems--problems that may not be picked up on in this physical third-dimensional reality but effect it all the same. (For more discussion on recognizing these problems, see Becoming Aware Of Entities.) I was reminded about these battles after watching the Christian movie "War Room". There are times when the battles are almost strictly spiritual. We only know that something more is going on because our lives feel "off".

So what are we to do when the battle is unseen? Here are some of the tools I use to ward off such negative energies.

1. Belief. It is important to understand the Universe is there to assist you in any way you need. When you have that inner knowledge that even seemingly bad things will work out in your favor, you can be thankful for the storm and circumstances will begin to change for the better!
2. Prayer. Asking for help from your higher power is always beneficial. Just as there are negative entities there are also positive ones. We all have beings that are assigned to assist us in this earthy life (sometimes referred to as angels/guardian angels). They are there to assist us anytime we need it, although in most circumstances they must be called on.
3. Intention. When you feel things in your life not going as you'd like, it is time to focus on the positive things you want to see happen. Believe the Universe and your higher power are there to assist you and see them doing so. Envision an invisible bubble of protection or a white light surrounding you. The apostle Paul in the Bible talks about putting on your spiritual armor. You can also set the intention that your actions will have extra power that will cut through the mess and make things better.
4. Meditation. When I am off my game, the first thing I often do will be to get grounded so I can think clearly. While your heart speaks to you through your emotions, emotions can overwhelm you if you let them. When you take the time to sit back and listen, the Universe will help you figure out what is going on and present you with ways to change your circumstances. (This is why I truly believe daily practice is a requirement. It helps you remember how to get back to a state of Oneness when you are in a state of stress.)

The battle is spiritual! Know you have the tools necessary to stay standing and thrive!!!

The Most Powerful Tool In Your Spiritual Toolbox

Spiritual battles are being fought all around me right now. It's almost as though someone has cranked up the volume on the stereo to full blast, effecting everyone within hearing distance (which seems to be pretty much everyone worldwide right now). Everywhere I turn, people are having some major struggle or another. It's important--now more than ever--to assess the tools we have at our disposal to help us remain strong and upright at this time a great upheaval.

Last night as I looked at the problems going on all around me, I felt the very strong need to once again ask for spiritual protection (seems I've been doing a lot of that lately). Jesus is my particular go-to guy when I need special help because I have known him my whole life and he has always been there for me. I asked him and the archangels to surround me with all the protection I needed to meet the challenges of the day.

I felt Jesus very close as words formed in my head. "We are always here when you need us and you ask. Understand that nothing can get to you with us here." All at once I was overwhelmed with the love he has for me and has always had for me. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I felt the immense power of love emanating from my protectors.

And that's when it hit me. Love is the most powerful protection of all!!! When there is pure, unconditional love, nothing bad can harm you. The vibration of love is so high everything that comes into its presence is transformed. Love cannot be stopped!!!

Are you carrying the power of unconditional love in your spiritual toolbox? Are you allowing it to surround you and envelop you in its lovely strength? The more familiar you become with the power and the presence of love, the more you BEcome love. You have the ability to transform all those negatives in your life into positives.

Know that the most powerful tool you can ever have is with you at all times. You just need to remember to use it!!!

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.
