Our Battle is Not Against Flesh and Blood
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
— Ephesians 6:12
Understanding Spiritual Warfare
The Jesus Revolution Movement recognizes that our struggle for economic justice is fundamentally a spiritual battle. We fight not against individual people, but against the spiritual forces that perpetuate systems of oppression and exploitation.
Principalities
High-ranking spiritual entities that influence governmental and corporate structures to maintain unjust economic systems.
Powers
Spiritual authorities that work through institutions to concentrate wealth and exploit workers.
Rulers of Darkness
Forces that blind people to God's vision of economic justice and cooperative community.
Modern Manifestations of Principalities
These spiritual forces work through earthly systems to maintain economic oppression and prevent God's people from experiencing true prosperity and community.
Corporate Greed
Multinational corporations that prioritize shareholder profits over worker welfare, perpetuating wealth inequality and exploitation.
Financial Systems
Banking and financial institutions that extract wealth from communities rather than building them up through cooperative principles.
Economic Ideology
Systems of thought that normalize poverty and present wealth concentration as natural or inevitable rather than unjust.
Our Spiritual Weapons
We fight this spiritual battle not with worldly weapons, but with the power of God's Word, prayer, community, and righteous action.
Word of God
Scripture reveals God's heart for economic justice and exposes the lies of greed-based systems.
Prayer & Intercession
We pray for breakthrough against spiritual strongholds that maintain economic oppression.
Cooperative Action
Building alternative economic structures that demonstrate God's kingdom principles in practice.
Kingdom Community
United believers standing together against forces that seek to divide and exploit us.
Join the Spiritual Battle
The war for economic justice requires spiritual warriors who understand the true nature of our fight. Stand with us as we battle principalities and powers through prayer, community, and cooperative action.
