2 Corinthians 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong
holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all
disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Our spiritual warfare is a thing that we encounter in the daily routines of our lives. Just as Adam and Eve were tricked by the serpent into disobedience to God, so are we attacked by the devil daily to also be disobedient to God. As we are going through the process of sanctification to be set aside by God for the glory of Christ, satan will come and lie about the promises of God, both the blessings of God and the warnings of God - satan will lie and try to trick us into sin and doubt.
Even Jesus was tempted after His fasting for 40 days and the devil used scripture to challenge Jesus, yet he distorted the scriptures and Jesus answered him back quoting proper Holy scripture. (Matthew 4) Therefore, it is essential that we study the word of God as part of our daily routines and through knowledgeable pastors that we may repel the devil with proper knowledge of the scriptures just as Jesus did. There is great power That God has given us through proper knowledge of the Holy scriptures.
We have a choice everyday and things come against us like self pity, but we can overcome with the word of God...
Proverbs 3:5-13
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean
not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and
depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy
bones.
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the
firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy
presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as
a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man
that getteth understanding.
Psalm 14:1-5
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children
of men, to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together
become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no,
not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who
eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon
the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the
generation of the righteous.
Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law
is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the
prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith
of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that
believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are
past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just, and the justifier of him
which believeth in Jesus.
May you be exceedingly blessed in your daily prayers and study of the word of God that you have the full armor of the Lord to resist the devil.

As believers, have assurance if victory against any warfare both physical and spiritual because our God is the general and He fight our battle for us if and only if we yield to His command and instruction by studying the word and dwelling in his presence in constant prayer.
Good post. Upvote for You
we must remember that our battle is not against flesh but against the powers of darkness, but our weapons are powerful in God for the destruction of those powers which means that in God we have the victory
Amen! Meditation on the word of God and constant prayer is our armor in our everyday battle in this world.
"There is great power That God has given us through proper knowledge of the Holy scriptures". The realm of the spirit is a legal ground that requires a legal knowledge. The Holy scripture gives us knowledge to war rightly and triumph. The Holy Scriptures make a spiritual warrior Wise . 2Timothy 3:15. Lord give us all a Staying Power to stay with your WORD for us to be WISE as you are WISE in The war Zone. Amen. @deathlyhorror, thanks so much for this piece.
ciertamente debemos confesar las palabras y permanecer firmes en esas confesiones para que el diablo huya de nosotros. Es bueno que las personas conozcan que muchas de sus dificultades trascienden a algo mas allá de lo que se pueda ver pero que Dios nos da las armas correctas para vencer. Felicidades por tu publicación!
Muy buen resumen de mi publicación.
Amen! I agree! We declare the truth over the lies! Satan's main goal is to try to lie to us about God's goodness. He gives us crazy suffering/bad circumstances that tries to challenge the goodness of God. Is God really God? If He is really good, why would He allow you to suffer like this?
One of the most powerful things we can do in spiritual warfare is simply coming into agreement with The Truth. Agreeing with what God says about Himself as revealed in the Bible.
Letting the Bible be the loudest voice in our life--even LOUDER than our own circumstances! :O
God--even though my circumstances lie to me about your goodness and love, I choose to agree that you ARE good and your love DOES endure! Even though I can't see it still I will believe it and declare it and stand on it and pray it and sing it! Like Israel putting the singers and musicians at the front of the army declaring "The LORD is good and His love endures forever!"
Lovely Bible passage
This just made my day
Satanás tratara de engañarnos constantemente para que nos apartemos del camino de Dios, debemos alejarnos de los falsos profetas, para evitar ser engañados.
Antes todas estas arremetidas debemos confiar y creer en la palabra de Dios y siempre saldremos victoriosos.
