Prepared for Battle - Part I: Knowing the Tactics of the Enemy

In 2 Corinthians 2:11 the apostle Paul declares, as if it's a given, that "we [Christians], are not ignorant of his [Satan's] devices." The obvious question that poses for you and I who face the same enemy today is: Is that statement true of me? Am I aware of, and prepared for, the many tactics our enemy employs in his unceasing attempts at rendering me a spiritual casualty? In this message, we shed light on a number of his most effective tactics, and explore, from scripture, how we can, and must, be prepared to resist them.
