Positive Quote for the Week-Be aware of the enemy’s Devices

The Lord is very clear that we are not to be ignorant of the devil’s devices. It is one of the number ways that the enemy gains access into our lives. We cannot afford to be unaware of his tactics and schemes. You can’t fight against an opponent that you know nothing about. The Lord has outlined everything that we need to fight off the devil and his kingdom of darkness.

We need to know what the full armor of God is found in the book of Ephesians: belt of Truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes prepared with the Gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, Ephesians 6:10-18. We need to understand how to use every piece of protective covering effectively which will prevent any cracks for the devil to make his way in.

We need to know God’s Word and continuously study to show ourselves approved, 2 Timothy 2:15, so that we can accurately understand the undiluted Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to comprehend the Lord’s spiritual laws which govern both the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. Nobody is exempt from God’s rules and regulations whether they know what they are or not.

We need to recognize the fact that we have a powerful adversary, Satan that wants nothing more than to see every single one of us standing at the gates of hell when we leave this Earth. He has many devices that he uses to attempt to lure us into going against the laws of God so that he can have legal access to our lives. The Lord is up-front that it is our responsibility to know the devil’s schemes. He has already given them all to us in His Word so we have no excuses!

Scripture about the enemy:

John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”

1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

James 4:7-8 “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

2 Corinthians 11:14 “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”
