Struggle between competing entities    
Sinclare Ferguson said "As in all warfare the two essential elements in victory are knowing your enemy and knowing your resources".   

Most Americans do not realize that their enemy is Satan.   They think their enemy is just like them except they support blue instead of red.   

They think there are only minor differences that we can work out.   So wrong!   

Satan has filled his children with his spirit and deluded them with his thinking.   His children think (if you can call it that) that they think for themselves not realizing that their lock-step thinking is evidence of demonic possession.   

No, we can't work it out with them.   They are darkness and those in Christ Jesus are light.   
The two don't mix.   

We need to know our enemy.   He is Satan.   Once you recognize him in his children you are able to deal with them as such.   

Jesus gave us power over the devil.   
    We are to cast him out.   
    We are to give him no place to occupy.   
    We are to destroy his works.   

Until we recognize who and what we are dealing with, he will continue to have the advantage over us.   

As to resources, he has none except his ability to lie and deceive.   But using that resource he steals the truth and he destroys those whom he deceives.   

Our resources in Christ Jesus are
    the Word of the Lord and
    the Power of His Holy Spirit.   

Unless we recognize his total weakness and our great power, he will continue to make up the difference with lying bravado.
