"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, the rulers of the darkness in this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore, take on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand these days of evil and, all things having been done, to remain standing...And pray that freedom of utterance remains, that we may proclaim the good news. Pray that we may declare it without shame and with courageous love, as we ought to do."
Ephesians 6:11-20
