You have to know the devices of your enemy, the devil. He will do anything to deceive you, and he will get you on his side before you realize it.
One of the devices of the devil is to give you thoughts to say, especially those things that criticize and hinder others. Recognize which thoughts are of the devil and which are of God.
Trace the works of Jesus so you can be sure you aren’t being hindered by any of the devil’s works He came to destroy.
Screen every thought that comes to your mind through the Word of God. You don’t have to listen to the devil; he’s a liar!
Christians could overcome more if they really understood the devices of the devil. If you don’t know the works of the devil, you don’t really know the works of God.
You must be a keeper of the truth in order to be true. If there is any false in you, you won’t be taken in the Rapture.
Beware! The devil may try to get to you through a human being, even a close loved one. Consider how the devil seduced Eve and how she then convinced Adam.
Really seek God so you can know if you are dealing with God, self or the devil. The devil sets traps, but the Holy Ghost will direct you around those traps.
