Ephesians 6:11-12; col. 2:15

Update on satan and his forces is so scanty and remote and most of the time involves so much guess works and supposition that Christians on the whole are not effective in fighting these demons. Some theologians have made things worse as they have less regard in studying these wicked forces and enemies of mankind. It is the responsibilities of every minister of the gospels to reveal the subject to his/her members because refusal to that is that you agree with the evil happenings in the world and that is that makes you fall easy prey to their lion like mouths. It is quiet disheartening that most ministers do not like getting too deeply involved in cases of severe demonic oppression because they do not know exactly what they are up against.
This situation is because the things of satan are secret and he does not tolerate exposure. But as the church age draws close, God Almighty is snatching people who have served satan in high places from satanic bondage into Christianity so that through these agents of satan, God will expose the enemy so that believers can engage him in warfare.

The forces of darkness refers to forces of hell that operate throughout creation in vain and attempts to thwart Gods purpose.
