The things that we wrestle against, doubts, discouragements, the brokenness, and the trials of our world have a spiritual component. Now, there are practical, scientifically explained things that are the product of the natural laws that God set in place and the natural laws that were broken by sin. I’m not saying that the enemy is specifically behind tornadoes or even that things like cancer are always a direct attack of the enemy. We live in a broken and fallen world. God is greater than this enemy. And that’s the whole point of the gospel, which is that Jesus defeated sin, death, and the devil to bring us the hope of salvation. A salvation that’s not just eternal but also present and earthly. And that when we walk in the authority that he’s given us by his Holy Spirit, we overcome the enemy.
