If you are open to the spiritual then you will understand what this verse from the Scriptures means: "12 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."

Eph 6:12.
This has all been foretold! Over 2,000 years ago this was prophesied by the prophet Daniel and later by others. Revelation tells us this about the rulers and denizens of this age: "21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts."
Re 9:21.
That word "sorceries" is the word in greek PHARMAkon. You can see exactly how this scripture aligns with the world we are living in today. Moreover, the scriptures tell of a one world system that will be set up to bring about a one world leader called "The Man of Lawlessness". This man will cause all to be enslaved to his will. He will cause all to receive a mark, and without which no one on the whole earth will be able to buy and sell.
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Re 13:16–17.
Ask yourself. How could a man 2000 years ago come up with a prophecy like this when even a hundred years ago people still had no idea how this could happen? It was ridiculed because "how can one man monitor the transactions of the entire planet"? And yet it, and almost all other prophecies in The Word of God have come to pass (save those yet to take place). It even talks about banning meat in "the last days".
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth
1 Ti 4.
It talks of the famine and pestilence in the last days. All of it has been foretold!
And the most important thing is that Christ the savior died for you. We all stand condemned, guilty sinners before a Holy God. But know "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"! Ro 10:9
It's never too late! He saved and redeemed me, and He can do the same for you too! All who call on His name shall be saved! Repent and believe! Peace be with you. God bless you!
Interesting, yes I am definitely open to spirituality. I learned more about Jesus on a ten day meditation retreat than any of the stuff I got as a kid. There seems to be a universal truth at the bottom of at least Buddhism and Christianity which are the only two religions I know past the most basic stuff. I find blind faith a bit difficult though.
There is nothing blind about faith in Christianity. :) It is the only faith with a Holy Book with historical and scientific claims embedded in it that are able to be tested and verified. The only one that has never been proven wrong. The only book that writes about the future and has been proven to be correct. It stands alone.
The questions you have to ask are twofold: 1.) Is there a God? 2.) Is it Christ?
If the answer to these questions are both "Yes" then you should, logically, become a Christian. Sounds like you're pretty open to the first one being true. So please take a look at this video getting at the second one!
The book "The Case for Christ" is also phenomenal. It details an atheist journalist who set out to disprove Christ and His resurrection and was later converted because of his journey. Also, "Is Athiesm Dead", "Creator in the Cosmos" and "Return of The God Hypothesis", are great resources for Answering the first question.
I wish you only the best and I hope and pray you look into this question. It is the most important question you could ever ask. You only get one chance to get it right. God bless you! Please know the only reason I'm doing this is because I love you and I care about you!

And if it's too long for you, here's a shorter one (but I presume you'd want the best presentation possible, so I'd recommend the first).
