The World View
We can live a victorious day each day. By learning from our mistakes and moving on. As humans, God knows we'll make mistakes.
Satan is out to Destroy us
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens." (Ephesians 6:12)
"For though we live as human beings, we do not wage war according to human standards, for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments and every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
We're Engaged in a Spiritual Battle
If we look around us, we can see the effects: New Age movement, Astrology, Tarot cards etc.
The demonic forces are working all the time.
"Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)
Example: Anger
If we allow anger into our lives and don't stop it, it will escalate and can escalate to such a proportion that demonic activity can come in and then things will be out of control.
Hence God says..
"Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger. Do not give the devil an opportunity." (Ephesians 4:26-27)
We must Focus on Jesus, let's waste our Time on God
 Satan doesn't want us to know the truth - because it exposes his lies.
We are bigger than Satan, Satan's' No.1 strategy is deception, he will work undercover.
We need to read the "I ams" everyday.
We fight Satan by truth, he hates it when we speak the truth.
As Christians we are the most powerful people on earth, we can save souls.
"The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:3)
