Does evil, danger, hate, start with a pitch fork and a tail and tell you all the misery it will bring? Does it not creep in little by little until you don’t realize it has taken hold? How do we fight against something so cunning and subtle?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing EVERY thought into captivity to the OBEDIENCE of Christ.
Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to Him, “Away with you satan! For IT IS WRITTEN, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.'”
Jesus said “it is written,” three times in response to satan’s temptation.
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Are we trying to get by on milk or are we eating solid food?
Hebrews 5:13-14 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, and he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
