Not against flesh

So let's preface this with what's been going on the last couple of days in Astridland-- which is often too much the focus of Astrid and at this very moment disbanning..disolving whatever it is you do to a place that need not be. I digress. Ok folks I've recently been going thru Ephesians 6:10-18 in my feeble attempt to try and memorize this passage of the armor of God. So surprise as I'm working my way through the verses they are becoming more of a reality. 12"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against rulers and against authorities against the cosmic powers over this present day, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. So I'm committing this to memory and also in light of my prayer study at GAP meditating upon and what the heck.. there goes Satan.. really working on me. I'm getting furious with the flesh when it's him and his coniving self out to make me stumble. I will not be broken.. though i did exercise some flesh bashing sorry to those in the path of Astrid's sin.. it's daily that I fight and my armor is still a work in progress.. as it will be until the day of completion...
Well there's more to this but i am due at my parents for dinner... pray for relationship with my father... as I continue to be submissive in our visits and show the work done in me by my Lord that he may come to know him and that my mother may also grow in her walk and not feel weary in the day and discouraged.
