Praying for All the Saints

When I read the above verse, I realized that this conflict is much more serious than we might think. It is not just about the individual's conflict with Satan, but that the powers of darkness are commanded to resist the whole assembly on earth, "all the saints" of Ephesians 6:18.

How the devil must hate the Epistle to the Ephesians – and one of his ploys is to make Christians think the truth is too high for them. Everyone must put on the armor himself, but he should not think only of himself. He must pray for all the saints and the manifestation of the mysteryIt is something hidden in Scripture that is not (yet) generally revealed (e.g., Prov 20:19).
