Throughout history, military logistics has stressed the importance of never underestimating the enemy or the ever-present possibility of a surprise attack. The precautions for such a possibility include: 1.) being aware of the enemy, 2.) expecting the unexpected, 3.) preparing to fortify defenses, and 4.) remaining always on guard. Genesis 3:1 indicates that Satan is more powerful, clever, and subtle than any other created being, continually planting seeds of doubt against the purposes of the Creator, making them feel like "victims." Satan still uses the same playbook today, attempting to promote envy, contention, and hatred among the people God has called to be His offspring. Our enemy works on the interior of our nervous system, attempting to defile our minds, meddling with our thoughts, to which we Paul urges to bring all thoughts into captivity to Christ (II Corinthians 10:3) using the power of God's Holy Spirit to mortify our prideful hearts. Any thought not aligned to God's Spirit is satanic, including bragging, putting others down, being puffed up with arrogance, or putting anything before the Great God (I Corinthians 13:1-10). The apostle Peter gives us a formula to guard against the most dangerous of our enemies (I Peter 5: 88) requiring constant vigilance and humility.
