Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah (pause) Psalm 3:1-2

We have no idea how many of the things that happen to us are caused by attacks of our enemies! As the scripture states, "Many voices are lying to us, saying there is no help, trying to discourage us and bring fear and doubt upon us!"
This is why we must take every thought captive and cast down these vain imaginations and evil lies that weaken our resolve, causing them to defeat us in our battle against them. Like roaring lions hiding in the bush, they wait until we are weak and hopeless, and then they attack. The powers of darkness are masters of subterfuge (deception) and the ability to evade or conceal.
God gave us spiritual armor and weapons of war to battle these devils, and as we learn to fight in the spirit, the armor grows upon our spiritual bodies, and like working out, the more we use them, the stronger we become, giving us an advantage over them in our endeavor to claim victory in Jesus!
But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Selah (pause) Psalm 3:3-4
