Our body contains our spirit and our flesh, clean and unclean, incorruptible and corruptible. And like the temple that Solomon built according to God’s precise specifications, there is an outer court and the holy of holies. A believer’s spirit is one with Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwells within. Our flesh occupies the place where sin dwells within us and this is in the outer court of our body and it wages war against us.
In his letter to the Romans, Paul addresses the conflict we face as long as we remain in this corruptible body. He says that when he does the very thing he does not want to do, it is no longer him doing it but sin that dwells within him.
How is it Christians are able to believe this truth, but cannot accept that a principality could dwell within them?
It is not only possible for principalities to reside in a Christian’s body, it is very likely because the perpetuation of the sins of the fathers and the degradation of morality today. Only a sinless life from sinless parents would guarantee no compromise.
Principalities and powers of the air are all around us. They are many, but there are twice as many angels who are following the commands of the Almighty.
