Clothed and Ready
Who are they? Are they - conspirators who create and spread conspiracy theories, often to deceive or manipulate others? Are they individuals who use various tactics, such as presenting false information as fact, cherry-picking data to support claims, or appealing to people's emotions and fears? Some individuals may spread such conspiracy theories due to genuine belief in their validity, based on distrust of institutions like the government and religion. Others may do so for personal gains, such as increasing their influence, garnering attention, or generating financial profit through exploitation or dramatization. Although it makes sense, the result creates chaos and undermines social norms. For this reason, the Apostle Paul reminds believers to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. (Ephesians 6:10)
The Apostle Paul reminds believers to remain steadfast amidst turmoil caused by them. If believers exercise God's power, they can resist chaos while fostering trust within the community, no matter the amount of turmoil raging outside. How? Remember, Paul's writing reminds us that we are not wrestling with human conspirators but divine beings. He names them principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.
So, who are they? Are they the nonhumans whose sole purpose is to deploy devices like conspiracy theories to create chaos in our belief systems? As believers, we must dive deeper into God's power and finish our assigned Kingdom work regardless of what seems likable or unlikeable. By embracing our divine strength, believers can discern the truth, reject deceit, and contribute positively to living faithful lives. Remember, spiritual resilience ensures societal norms remain intact despite external disruptions by divine beings—principalities and powers may cause or have caused.
Finally, my fellow believers, I repeat Paul’s words - Be Strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
