(Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT) A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

(1 Peter 5:8 NLT) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour

(1 Peter 2:11 NLT) Dear friends, I warn you as "temporary residents and foreigners" to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls

(John 8:32 NLT) And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Charles Spurgeon: “Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.”

(Titus 1:2 NKJV) in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,

(John 14:6 NLT) Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me

(John 16:13 NIV) But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth…and he will tell you what is yet to come.

(Romans 8:37-39 NIV) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
