@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Eph 6.11
Put on the full armour of God, so that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the
world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I know you will rationalise this so that it makes the battle against flesh.
What is your denominational foundation?
