The Devil is a Distractor and Not a Worthy Opponent in Spiritual Warfare

Summary. When it comes to spiritual warfare the devil has no capability to do us direct harm. He can only do us harm by trickery. The Bible tells us that the devil is the father of lies. We must resist these lies and seek God's truth. Victory in spiritual warfare comes from us submitting to God. By us putting on the whole armor of God, we can persevere through any lie, temptation, and deceit that the devil may throw at us. See below for Biblical advice and scriptures concerning the devil and spiritual warfare.
