Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Indeed, the Holy Spirit equips and empowers us for spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10-18). However, the Bible also emphasizes the importance of being aware of the enemy's schemes. Paul himself warns believers: 'so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs' (2 Corinthians 2:11). Understanding how the enemy operates can help us stand firm in faith and avoid falling into temptation (1 Peter 5:8-9). While our focus remains on Christ and the Holy Spirit's guidance, being informed about spiritual threats enables us to better wield the 'sword of the Spirit' (Ephesians 6:17) and live in victory.
Just read the Bible. All spiritual warfare is clearly provided by the Holy Spirit. Why focus on the enemy?
