Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)

In order to be sober and vigilant, scripture tells us we need to know our enemy. The more we know about the wiles of the devil and his minions, the easier it is to defeat them. The Bible teaches us how to live godly lives. It's the devil's job to interfere and to crush the things of God in our lives.
Jesus was the firstborn of many brethren. What made Him different? Jesus was an empty vessel that the anointing of God could flow through. Jesus never performed a single miracle. He said himself in John 5:30, "I can of Mine own self do nothing; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which sent Me." It was the anointing of God that poured through Jesus that spoke the words of His Father, healed the sick, and raised the dead.
After Jesus died, the born-again new creatures in Christ became the brethren. We, now, are the vessels that the anointing flows through. Because of this anointing, the devil hates the born-again Christian. His attacks are unrelenting, but as Jesus said in John 17:14-15, "I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil."
I pray that this book can give the reader the knowledge needed to rise above the trappings of the world. God has so much more planned for his people in the Spirit! Step out!
