STOP AND THINK – Millions of spiritual creatures walk the Earth unseen, both when we sleep and when we wake. (John Milton. 17th century English poet, author of Paradise Lost)
Probably many—if not most—people in the West are not aware of the spirit world. Many would deny the existence of spiritual beings. But Milton was merely acknowledging what other societies have long recognized. In fact, the Bible teaches that we must be prepared to fight against spiritual attacks, since humans, also, are spiritual beings.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against . . . the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God. (Ephesians 6:12-13)
