Psalm 55:18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me.

 Jesus paid the price to give us total victory. He was the conqueror so that we can be more than conquerors. But, the enemy will do everything in his power to make us think we are victims instead of victors. Also, though the war is won---we will still have battles and struggles.

Ephesians 6:12-18 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

The way to win is to watch, pray, worship, and put on the whole armor of God!

  Ephesians 6:13-18 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Eph 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
 

The most important thing to aim for in the battle is VICTORY; not a partial triumph, but complete destruction of the enemy, so that he can never come against you again in the same way.

However, it is wise to understand that as long as the WAR is still going on, the enemy will come at you SOME WAY!

You need to see which way the enemy is coming and avoid being ambushed. And, of course, in order to see the enemy coming, you need to know what he looks like. Battles are not always straightforward. The enemy isn't necessarily wearing a uniform that says "Hey---here I am on the devil's team and out to get you."

The enemy can come as an angel of light; he can hide in things that seem 'good' just as easily as he can attack you through evil temptations. The only rules he plays by is 'destroying you'.

You might think that this gives him the advantage, because he can make his own rules. Nothing could be farther from the Truth. God has rules in place that were MADE FOR YOU TO WIN. If you follow His plan, there is no contest. In fact, with God, the battle is already won.

Jesus has gone before us and made the path clear. We need to follow in His footsteps.

Start each day with prayer. Don't even leave your house without asking Holy Spirit to lead and guide you---to reveal all of Satan's traps and show you how to avoid them. Keep in a spirit of praise and worship and there will be many battles you won't even have to fight.

Isaiah 45:2,3  (NKJV) “  "I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.  I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places.  That you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel”
