Ephesians 6:10-12 "Finally, be strong in the LORD and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of GOD, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
