Three of the devil's weapons

The devil has many ways to trick us and get into our heads to make things go his way and against God's.
Some of his tactics are used when we are most vulnerable - when we feel saddened or are experiencing pain or grief. His "3 Ds" as I like to call them are distraction, disillusionment, and discouragement.
Distraction. The world has many things out there that are pleasing to the eye. But ask yourself if they are pleasing to God. It's the devil's way of distracting you from what you should be doing.
Disillusionment. Being oblivious is the devil's way of covering up your sins, acting like there's nothing wrong with what you just did. You think everything's fine, when in reality, things are crappy. God appreciates your honesty when coming clean to things...hopefully sooner rather than later.
Discouragement. It's easy to get discouraged over something. You may have done wrong to hurt someone or something. The feeling of guilt is going to take over your body. You must then ask for forgiveness and ask the Lord to give you strength whenever you are feeling weak. Move on!


Note: The devil has many more ways to get in our heads than these "3 Ds." Be aware that he isn't limited to just these.
