The evil spirits in the air are called principalities.T hey are the Air Force of the devil.Paul said: We wrestle not against flesh and blood,but against pri ncipalities,against powers,against rulers of the darkne ss of this world,against spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12 High places means heavenly places.That is why pri ncipalities have the ability to intercept our prayers. They frustrated the prayers of Daniel.Daniel said, AIR FORCE AIR FORCE In those days,I Daniel was mourning full three week s,I ate no pleasant bread,neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth,neither did I anoint myself at all Daniel 10:2-3
For twenty-one days there was no answer to his prayers. Later an angel appeared to him and told him the reason. Then said he unto me,Fear not,Daniel:for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand,and to chasten thyself before thy God,thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but,lo,Michael, one of the chief princes,came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia Daniel 10:12-13 The prince of Persia frustrated Daniel s prayers.The word prince has the same meaning as the word principality . One of the main functions of principalities is to intercept prayers in the heavens.

This means the devil can use the elements.
In the story of the mad man of Gadara, when Jesus finally landed on shores of Gadara the Bible says, And all the devils besought him,saying,Send us into the swine,that we may enter into them Mark 5:12. Jesus gave them permission to enter the swine but that was not And forthwith Jesus gave them leave.And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine:and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea,(they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea Mark 5:13 The demons didn t want to remain in the pigs.Otherwise they would not have killed them.So why did they enter the pigs? They used them as transportation to get to the sea.
