The life of a believer is always an ongoing battle – a dual – not just a mind-game.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. So, a believer is advised to put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. – Eph 6:11-17. Scripture is the only weapon of offence in the armoury.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: - 2 Tim 3:16.

Reading Scripture, studying it, memorizing it, meditating upon it, obeying it and experiencing it are essential exercises in a believer’s life to keep oneself alive and healthy spiritually. Jesus said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” – John 6:63.
