One of the keys to spiritual warfare to remember is this--it is not so important to avoid spiritual warfare as it is how you respond to it. Everyone is going to experience it simply by living on planet earth and being human during this time period of human existence. So the key is not to avoid it, the key is to respond to it correctly.
And what is the correct response? Or, rather, what are the correct responses? Trust, receiving love, (from God and others), and responsibility, (not giving away, or abdicating, the responsibility for your life). If a person successfully knows how to do these three things, then they will be pretty much impervious to spiritual deception, temptation, etc.
Which, of course, leads me to the point that I make over an over and over again. Build these characteristics inside of your kids while they are kids so that they are natural responses when they become adults. Make them impervious to spiritual assault without their knowledge that you are doing so. Make them so trusting, so able to receive from God and other people, and so responsible that no spiritual lie can even find a tiny foothold inside of them. Build inside of them an undivided heart.
