Know Your Enemy

Never fall into the trap of feeling sorry for demons - at times they whimper and plead. Psalm 139:21-22

Do I not hate those who hate you, 0 Lord and abhor those who rise up against you ?

I have nothing but hatred for them. I count them my enemies - their aim is to torment and destroy. In some ways Satan is very short on ideas, 2 Cor 2:11

In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes (schemes, settled war plan).

In a war a good general studies his opponents; not that we seek to obtain a PhD in witchcraft (you'd then need deliverance yourself), but we need to be aware of how demons operate; how the mind is attacked, what spirits to expect to be working together, how they got in and how to recognise them.
