The most effective way that I can think of to fight spiritual warfare is to: #1 For yourself, BE loved, and #2, for others, LOVE. Here's why.
The devil works by getting us to believe things like fear, guilt, shame, unworthyness, you name it, anything that is not love, not of God, who is love. It's really the only power he has. So the key is for us to not believe those things. That's how we fight spiritual warfare. And when we are loved, it is exactly the opposite of all those lies that the devil tells us. So love dissolves all those lies. Therefore you stop believing them/him. Therefore you win !!!
THEREFORE YOU NEED TO BE LOVED!!!!!! IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL FOR YOU TO BE LOVED. SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, YOU MUST BE LOVED. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL, HENCE MENTAL, HENCE PHYSICAL WELL BEING. IT IS YOUR NUMBER ONE DEFENSE. (See previous post,"Be Loved, for instructions on how to do this.)
Next, when looking out for your brothers and sisters in this world, THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST WEAPON, DEFENSE, HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE THEM IS TO LOVE THEM. BECAUSE THIS WILL TEAR DOWN ALL, I REPEAT, ALL, OF THE LIES OF THE DEVIL AND THE WORLD IN THEIR LIVES. THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM. THERE IS NO BIGGER, MORE POWERFUL WEAPON THAT YOU CAN EMPLOY, TAKE OUT OF YOUR ARSENAL ON THEIR, ON ANYBODY'S, BEHALF.
Whenever we feel guilt, shame, fear, etc., it gives the devil a place to hook us. BUT IF, BY LOVE, BY BEING LOVED OURSELVES AND LOVING OTHERS, WE CONTINUALLY AND CONSISTENTLY REMOVE ANY PLACES OF ACCESS FOR HIM,
HE WILL HAVE NO ACCESS TO OUR LIVES, AND WE WILL WIN!!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... and I'll continue to say it throughout time and eternity, THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS LOVE, FOUND IN RELATIONSHIPS. FOR SO MANY ENDLESS, CRITICALLY IMPORTANT REASONS!

Jessie,
Thank you for reflecting Love into my life; As a consequence spiritual victory has been found within me, for I have found faith and hope in Him stronger than ever within me.
I made that commitment to the Lord tonight to stop praying this week which leads me into striving and managing my spiritual life. Of course silence itself can be prideful if you enter into with the idea that the silence a reason for God to speak. but thats not why I'm being quiet this week.
I'm being quiet for the purpose of getting out of the way and allowing God to be who He wants to be to me. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I felt the need to write this to you because by putting it into writing, my stepping back is not just in my mind, but also a perspective that is outside of myself.
