Ephesians 6:10 (The Message)

A Fight to the Finish

 ^10-12And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

It really is an everyday affair, not just the warring on behalf of others but the war for our minds. Be aware, be sober, be vigilant - always aware of your spiritual surroundings. The enemy has a better chance with your own mindsets, etc because they are often ignored and "undealt with" as well as subtle. Guard your heart and your mind so that you can have the "mind if Christ" - not logic, wisdom, mindset, heart and passions.
