Casting Out Evil Spirits and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places — Scripture and Understanding
The Bible teaches that the true battle is spiritual, against “spiritual wickedness in high places” and unclean/demonic forces, and that believers have authority in Christ to resist and cast out such spirits through prayer, submission to God, and the armor of God

OpenBible.info

Biblical Basis for Spiritual Wickedness in High Places
Ephesians 6:12 states: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places”

Bible Hub

Paul describes these as spiritual hosts of wickedness — organized, hostile forces opposed to God, operating in a “heavenly places” realm that influences the physical world

GotQuestions.org
. This “high places” language also appears in Ephesians 2:2, describing the “prince of the power of the air” and the “god of this world” who blinds unbelievers

Other passages:

James 4:7 – “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”

Wear the armor of God – Ephesians 6:10–18; stand firm against schemes of the devil

GotQuestions.org

Believe God’s Word – Faith in Christ’s victory over the enemy is the foundation for casting out spirits

Theological Context

"Evil in high places” refers to demonic powers influencing both the spiritual realm and earthly affairs

Bible Hub
. The Bible presents this as part of the cosmic conflict between God and Satan, with believers called to stand firm, resist, and declare God’s truth over any demonic influence

Bible Hub

In summary: The Bible teaches that spiritual wickedness in high places is real and organized, but believers have authority through Christ to resist and cast out such spirits by submitting to God, praying in His name, and standing in the armor of God
