Deception..

2 Corinthians 11:3 (New Living Translation)
But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.

Deception is Satan's biggest tool, is most effective and its very intricate..

This exerpt is written from the perspective of the demonic realm as in the book by C.S. Lewis - "The Screwtape Letters":

"Your Worst Enemy - Intelligence
When battling, your number one enemy is the enemy’s intelligence; actual external threats are secondary. The greater the intelligence of your enemy, the greater the threat becomes to both you and your allies.
When I use the word intelligence, I am referring to several various factors that culminate in their total mind power. I have separated the forms of intelligence into the following 4 categories:

Problem Solving Ability - this is the wisdom to be able to efficiently solve any problem presented to you.
Decision Making Skills - this is the straightforward knowledge and understanding of what to do when presented with a certain situation. For example, the decision of when to engage or when to evade a certain threat.
Observance - this is the ability to take in and process what is going on around you. The game gives you three different sensory outputs: sight, sound, and touch (through your Xbox controller). Your ability to observe depends upon how much attention you pay to these three mediums. Observance can also depend upon how much attention you pay to your surroundings, which can include evidence of a battle (blood, bullet-holes, exploded canisters, destroyed vehicles, grenade marks); missing resources (weapons, vehicles, powerups); the location of your enemies and teammates (radar, teammate icons, sight and sound); and the allocation of resources.
Awareness of Strategy - the ability to foresee an enemy strategy based on your observances.
Having a personal proficiency with these forms of intelligence can give you a formidable edge in the game, but the real power of intelligence is Deception. The power and importance of intelligence is a testimony to how weak your opponent would be without it. Intelligence is powerful, but it has its weaknesses; it can be tricked, it can be warped, and it can be deceived.

The Antithesis of Intelligence

THE ART OF DECEPTION
Warfare is the Way of deception.

Therefore, if able, appear unable,

if active, appear not active,

if near, appear far,

if far, appear near.

If they have advantage, entice them;

if they are confused, take them,

if they are substantial, prepare for them,

if they are strong, avoid them,

if they are angry, disturb them,

if they are humble, make them haughty,

if they are relaxed, toil them,

if they are united, separate them.

deception - 1. the act or practice of deceiving 2. the fact or condition of being deceived
Deception is misleading your enemy into thinking something that is untrue. Tricks that worked yesterday won't necessarily work today or tomorrow. The battlefields have countless possibilities and I have no possible means of covering every single topic of deception, and even if I could, I wouldn't. Your ability to deceive your enemy depends entirely on your own wit, and if you think that this article will tell you exactly how to accomplish it, you are better off not reading it. I'm here to teach the underlying fundamentals of deception. Be forewarned, some assembly required."

PEACE, GRACE & TRUTH ARE THE TRUE BELIEVER'S

GREATEST WEAPON!

2 Corinthians 2:10-11 (Amplified Bible) If you forgive anyone anything, I too forgive that one; and what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sakes in the presence [and with the approval] of Christ (the Messiah), To keep Satan from getting the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his wiles and intentions.

Ephesians 4:14 (New Living Translation) Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.

1 Peter 5:7-9 (Amplified Bible) Casting the [a]whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, [b]once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you [c]watchfully.(A) 8Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [[d]in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. 9Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset--rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same ([e]identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.
