Every single believer in Christ Jesus is involved in a spiritual battle,we battle against the ghost of the past visible and invisible,we contend for the faith we face spiritual battles each and every day in order for us to get hold of the victory that God has given to us in Christ Jesus.As a soldier you have to be prepared and trained and know your enemy and the weapons that he uses to come against you.One thing about the enemy is that he will not sleep until he has done damage that is satan but thanks be to God that Paul servant of God advices us not to be ignorant of the devils cunning devices and also we are reminded that the enemy comes in like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour,so this tells us he is not even a lion Jesus is the only lion because the bible testifies of Jesus as the roaring lion of the tribe of Judah so the devil will always counterfeit the things of God but we have to be alert.A child of God and a soldier of Jesus Christ must know his or her position and ready with the rightful garments and armour so that the enemy will not catch you off guard.
