Hi All,
I'm still a fair noob to Spiritual warfare - maybe only awake to the idea for 7 years and only active for 3. God is my passion, not chasing the dark side around. However, God has recently shown me that I can't just ignore the enemy. I thought I basically could because "He who is in me is greater" but I see now that there's a reason we have the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.
My question is, can anyone help me understand Jude 1:8-11? I don't want to wander into error while wrestling with Powers and Principalities.
Verses below.
Thanks in advance.

Jude 1:8-11
8 Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile [i]angelic majesties.9 But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”10 But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are [j]destroyed.11 Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay [k]they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
