Its a matrix kind of world...

Eph 6:12
because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual power of wickedness in the heavenlies.
Think about it...if you're not a Christian then you dont know who's hitting you do you?
OK..... lets look at it. What are we struggling against? Not flesh and blood....not flesh and blood!!
But with.....
Principalities and powers....
Authorities......
The universal lords of this darkness.......and ..
Spiritual power of wickedness......
And WHERE ARE THESES NASTIES??
....IN THE HEAVENLIES
influencing matters here in the physical.
And so it is that we are told that......

2Co 10:4-5 For the arms of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful according to God to the overthrow of strongholds; overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;

If you've seen The Matrix, then you will understand how I perceive this world. The vast majority of humans are being deceived. There is one thing that is not cool in this world... a Christian!
An evil spiritual being (Lucifer) and his empire of fallen angels (demons) are on their way to the Abyss and want to take you there too. Jesus, the messiah, has paid the ransom for your soul. All you need to do is get to know Him, thank Him, start believing what He is trying to tell you. The closer you get to Him, the more you will know that He is with you. He will amaze you. Then you will know the truth.

Bombs and bullets cannot touch the real enemy. But someone armed with the truth, a praying man, quickened in the spirit, is a real danger to Lucifer and his cohorts. Hence the defamation of the Christian character continues.
The world would not look twice at that nerdy looking Christian guy, but the devil knows who's really dangerous. And you ..tough guy, with the fists and the .45 and the cool image...you dont count either way. Jesus said if you are not with me, you are against me. Dont be against Him my friend, that is what I would call a bad decision. There are many distractions in this world to point you the other way. Talk to Jesus, He will help you the moment you start to ask and seek.
Read the book, there is an energy coming from the words of that book that is totally supernatural. These are weapons, the written word of God. And when spoken out loud, they are powerful, booming out into the heavenlies for every power and principality to hear.
When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Lucifer, He struck back with the Word.
It is written......check it out for yourself.
