Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
D). WE MUST DISCERN THE PRESENCE OF EVIL SPIRITS THROUGH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND EXPEL THEM.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
***************************
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
MATTHEW 10:1,7-8
He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
As you go, preach this message: ’The kingdom of heaven is near.’
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.
That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.
The whole town gathered at the door,
and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
He appointed twelve—designating them apostles—that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach
and to have authority to drive out demons.
MARK 6:7,12-13
Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.
They went out and preached that people should repent.
They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
MARK 9:17, 25
A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.
When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. "You deaf and mute spirit," he said, "I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
