As believers, we must be mindful, watchful, and aware that spiritual battles are alive and real. We should not take them lightly but instead prepare ourselves and get ready for those times when the attacks do come. We are battling against a supernatural being. He is not of this world, so we cannot fight against him with weapons of this world – it simply will not work.
We prepare ourselves with the armor of God – with His Presence, His Word, His Community … these are the weapons that we use to fight against the roaring lion.

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds" 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (NIV).

The good news is that we are not alone in this battle! God has given us the tools we need to fight against these attacks, and He never leaves us to fight them alone. His Word is the ultimate weapon to fight these attacks. Jesus set the example of battling against Satan with scripture when He himself was attacked (Matt. 4:1-10).
