<p>Ephesians 6, structures that we struggle against:</p>

<p>Powerlessness: blindness, apathy, satisfaction, worldliness, things that neutralize power &amp; activity.</p>

<p>Prisons: bondages that lock you in</p>

<p>Patterns of behavior that use you as fuel for cycles of relational damage, where people give and receive pain, 
preying on each other</p>

<p>Power structures, where people prey on others and multiply evil control, domination, oppression of many</p>

<p>Pervasive spiritual wickedness: cultural systems promoting long-term sustained evil behavior</p>

<p>Redemption &amp; Resilience is about helping communities build spiritually healthy, redemptive disciplines, structures of justice, and pervasive spiritual holiness and righteousness.</p>

<p>Jesus never advocated military action.</p>

<p>He was less concerned about political powers and more with spiritual powers.</p>
