Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. You will be in a spiritual war for the rest of your life. God has already won that war for you but you must learn to make the right choices in life. So put on God's armor, bind all evil spirits, pray a hedge around yourself and your family, then pray. You can't lose - God is on your side.
God says you should bind all evil spirits out of your mind and put on God's Armor. Then pray a hedge of protection around yourself. God will do the rest. Once you are saved you are God's child and wants you to know who you are in Christ. God says you are His child and you are more than a conqueror. He says you are an ambassador for Christ and you are to fight the evil around you. He also says you can do all things thru Christ and that all things are possible if you believe. So trust God and use His might to strengthen yourself.
Satan knows that your mind is still the same so he try's to attack your mind. The battle ground here on earth is for the control of your mind. The only weapon satan has is to attack you thru your thoughts. He tries to discourage you by telling you about all of your failures, sins, wrong choices and bad relationships you have had. He wants to take control of you by controlling your mind. He has no power so he uses deception and lies to try to deceive you.
