What are we up against?
(Ephesians 6:12)—For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world...

Our source of power is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Jesus Christ has already conquered all evil and is the greatest deliverer.
(2 Cor. 2:11)—we are not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. Persistence (Ps. 18:37)—the ability to go on resolutely or stubbornly in spite of oppression. We must be persistent in dealing with the enemy.
(2 Tim. 2:3)—the ability to endure and withstand hardship, adversity, or stress. We are to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
(2 Tim. 2:14)—to get or keep apart. No
man who wars entangles himself with the affairs of
this life.
(Ps. 139:22)—extreme dislike or antipathy,
loathing. In spiritual warfare, we must have a hatred
of evil and evil spirits.
God uses all people to accomplish His purposes. Our ability comes through grace. Every believer is sitting in heavenly places in Christ. Your position in Christ is high above all principality and power.
