Ephesians 6:12-13
"12 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. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
Speaking of wicked men:
"The devil is behind everything evil that is happening right now in the government, in families, in schools and every other organization he can get his claws into. He has willing partners who have heard the whispers of his voice in their unprotected minds and have done his bidding without rational thinking of their own." Gwendolyn Wehage "Narcissism: Second Timothy Three is Here" Page 125
The devil whispers in the minds of those who have no defenses against Him. As born again believers we do have a protection against the devil that is Jesus Christ Who live sin us.
James 4:6-8 "6 But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.…"
