It's battle, not a recreational game

Greetings:
We each face our own daily spiritual battle. It’s not a recreational game. It is serious and warrants our full attention.
The place to start is in our place of prayer - our prayer closet wherever that might be.
We are talking about evil demonic spirits that can and will attack each of us as Christians if we allow it.
In spiritual warfare, demonic spirits are launched as fiery darts or flaming arrows as Ephesians 6:16 tells us: “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."
These fiery darts come in one of three forms; temptations, deceptions, and accusations.
The devil tempted Eve in the garden. If Satan wants more legal grounds in our lives, we can expect some temptations to come our way. That's his way of getting us to fall and give him a place to operate.
A countless number of believers are living in defeat because they have been deceived. The enemy has deceived them and caused them to believe and live a lie. If we allow deception to take hold, strongholds can then be formed in our minds.
Strongholds have tremendous power to affect our feelings and emotions. Many Christians feel guilt-ridden and worthless because they don't see themselves the way they ought to because of deception.
If we let our guard down, bam!....he's got us.
Satan is also the accuser of the believers. Not the accuser of the sinners or the world, but the children of God. He could care less about badgering those who are in his kingdom, but he loves to pick on the children of God – you and me.
He accuses us by reminding us of our past sins and failures. Don't listen to his accusations.
Ephesians 6 speaks of the weapons that we are to use in spiritual warfare, and in verse 17 we are told to take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God."
The devil tells us: "You're a failure! Look at your past!"
God's Word says: "What past? The blood of Jesus has washed it away!" We are clean and redeemed by the grace of God.
This is the real deal and a challenge if we are not prepared, studied up and prayed up.
Fight the battle with the Word of God. The devil can't stand the truth. Rebuke and resist the devil's advances. Remember, God, wins this war.
Be blessed.
