we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities,against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world.

meaning devils and his angels(demons) manipulating the whole world is our enemy not human being,don't pray or fight against any one putting on flesh and blood,let agape love(eternal life) be found in you.
Instead pray against the works of Satan manipulating man against man, no devil,no problem. no problem no enemy.
Those who have ears let them hear,man is not your enemy, but devil (darkness) the enemy of man is. Let the word of God which is light rule you,stay blessed.

True

Some “Christians” only see the devil in every corner and in every human problem. Their solution is to go from house to house practicing exorcisms everywhere they go. This isn't what Paul means by resisting and standing your ground against evil spiritual forces.

What might that courageous stand involve? It may be working against injustice or intervening on behalf of someone you know who is vulnerable or victimized, not yielding to the demands of the increasingly egocentric nature of the world order, not joining in the perversion of biblical truth within and outside the church or not conforming to the emerging post-modern ethos such as sensational music, pre-marital cohabiting, neo-feminism, drug abuse, cultism, homosexuality, pornography, betting and pools-staking. Whatever form the conflict may take, we can have courage—our God has already provided what we need to stand for Him and against the darkness of this world.

Clearly this unseen opposition (who is the mastermind and originator of the darkness and deceptions around us) is more than any of us can face alone, so God has given us the necessary spiritual resources (the “full armor of God”) to enable us to “stand against the devil’s schemes”.

The good news is that the war was won at the cross of Calvary. But that does not mean that believers are completely out of harm’s way — the battles must still be fought. Believers have every assurance that they will prevail, but at the same time believers are warned that they still have a fierce fight on their hands!

Two of the pieces of armor God has provided for us when we are attacked by the doubt of satanic deceptions are "TRUTH" and "the SHIELD of FAITH." They can "quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one" (v14-16). As we saturate our minds with God's Word, our faith will be strengthened. Then we'll be able to stand when doubts assail us. The devil is subtle, deceptive, and sly; He's clever and tricks us to swallow his lies. But his cunning methods we're sure to discern by making God's warnings our daily concern. The best protection against Satan's lies is to know God's truth.

Our conversation. It's called talking, speaking language. The New tongue.

Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
