Every child of God must understand that we are in a spiritual warfare. You have an enemy, Satan who of course was already defeated by Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:15 tells us of the victory of Christ over Satan and all his cohorts, "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." His victory is our victory because He did it on our behalf. Satan may cause men to stir up trouble against you but he is the source. Our fight in this warfare is not natural, and therefore we don't use human means. The bible lets us know that we have weapons which are spiritual and mighty through God. Don't fight people, they are not the real enemy. They are influenced by Satan to hate you. Fight the real enemy. This fight is called the fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12) because we already won in Christ. However, even though we already have the victory, others have been found victims of the enemy's deceptive schemes. Until the day Satan is eternally cast into the lake of fire, he still seeks to maneuver but by the name of Jesus we are supposed to keep him where he belongs, under our feet. That is why 1 Peter 5:8 enjoins us, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour". So be mindful that we are at war and be awake spiritually and enforce the victory you have in Christ.
