Warfare. There is always going to be an evil enemy who will be trying to destroy your life. If Satan, the enemy, succeeds it will be because of his gorilla warfare tactics.When we become too comfortable with life your guard is down and that is when Satan strikes. It is a realationship with Christ that will help you defeat Satan. Battle lines are never clear. Jesus can see them and can guide you through them. Jesus has already won the war. We need to just hang tight to Jesus for help in resisting the Devils traps.
