The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the EPHESIANS
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.
Rest our dear brother, we pray the Holy Spirit comfort your family. You are a saved Spirit in the Lord, for he has blessed you a white robe and you are washed clean of this earth. Now we pray for the tormented spirit who harmed you. Holy, Holy, Holy art thou our Great God Almighty, for his Glory Fill the Earth and all Creation. He is the One who Is, Was, and will Always be. Our Creator, God and Father
