Hello MaggieMye,
Maggie, we can do everything through him who gives us strength.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:10-13)
Be very careful in looking at what is done in the high places, its a very fine line you walk. Everything we need to know about the enemy, God has provided in his word. He has not left us defenceless, but has given us both armour and a sword against the enemy. What people who have had demonic experiences can do is to provide corroberation, but we need to be very careful in accepting evidence of evil from or through the very powers of evil... because lies are Satan's native language.
Please note that the passage you're quoting begins with an injunction to rest in the Lord and his power. We are told to stand against the enemy's wiles... not to study and draw closer to them. I posted several scriptures earlier in discussion of that, please look them over and tell me if you think they do not apply.
God teaches us what is of Him. If we know him, we know what is also not of him. Seek his kingdom and His righteousness, and be very careful about the alure of what is dark.
Ephesians 6:11
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." The "wiles" of the enemy are the TACTICS and STRATEGGIES of the enemy. You cannot stand against something you do not know or recognize.
