Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
This is rare for me to even write about the darker side of our one common enemy. I felt the need to write an article on the all too real dangers lying in wait for anyone unaware. Everyone needs to be reminded from time to time about just how much the devil pursues us. We learn in the first book of the Bible why Satan hates us to much. It is because we were created in the image of God.

The entertainment world has been fixated on the supernatural for the last decade, more so in the few years. No one is taking anything away from these films other than a thrill and a distorted view of the underworld.
