#51 Be Aware of the Techniques of Satan ___________ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:10-12). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The devil has many schemes to trip up Christians. We wrestle against evil spiritual forces. I believe one of the major means used by these evil forces on serious Christians is depression. God encourages us to stand firm against these evil forces by putting on the full armor of God - truth (including the truth about ourselves), righteousness (right behavior), the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer.
