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

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places,” Ephesians 6:10-12.

“And the end comes. The end comes as the beginning has begun. For with every day that you live your life in me, you are moving closer to that day when I will return.

And the day will come when all my body will work together as one. But for now, you each have your own trials, and things to face. The enemy works hard every day to cause havoc, and he disguises himself in ways that you may not readily notice him.

For he parades around like a roaring lion. He seeks to devour you but he will not succeed.Know that in this hour, his minions have gone out unto the earth. Know that they travel throughout the land. Some of my own have given into his ways. For he enters into portals that you have opened unto him. But the time has come for you to put him under your feet. For you have the victory. My spirit will cause you to be victorious in this hour.

With each day comes new battles to fight. So, sharpen your swords and have them ready at hand. Pray against those things that have come into your lives unknowingly. The prince of the power of the air will be defeated.”
