Some time back I was greatly helped by reading Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by Thomas Brooks. I would strongly encourage every Christian to read it. This great old book is a great reminder for Christians to be ready to fight the good fight as a soldier of Christ. The following ten points are adapted from Brooks' conclusion:
1. Live under the authority of God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
2. Rely on the power of the Holy Spirit (1 John 4:4)
3. Seek after heavenly wisdom (Proverbs 15:24; James 3:13-18)
4. Resist the devil rather than dispute the devil (James 4:7)
5. Seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18)
6. Be humble (Psalm 25:8-9; James 4:6)
7. Be on the alert – keep watch! (1 Peter 5:8)
8. Do not neglect communion with God (Psalm 16:8; 42:1-2)
9. Look to Christ for grace and strength (John 15:5; Hebrews 2:18)
10. Pray (Matthew 26:41)
