2 Corinthians 10: 3For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

We must understand where opposition comes from. The root is not in the negativity that we see, but in the spirit realm. To kill a weed, we must uproot it, not trim it. To change our circumstances we must believe in the power of prayer and faith to improve our situations. Recognize struggle, strife, negativity, and challenges as opportunities to pray.

Ephesians 6: 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
