Who is our battle really with?

I am reminded again this morning of Ephesians 6:12

"For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere."

When we are having a problem with someone (we all probably have someone in our life that qualifies), we need to remember that it is not them that we are having a problem with. It is a spiritual battle. If we focus on the spiritual battle and and pray against the enemy then we are able to love that person with God's love.
