Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it was also with you; 2 and that we will be rescued from troublesome and evil people; for not all have the faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.12 Thessalonians 3:1-3 NASBBeneath the surface of the routine of daily life, a fierce struggle among invisible spiritual powers is being waged. Our main defense is prayer that God will protect us from the evil one and that he will strengthen us. The following guidelines can help you prepare for and survive satanic attacks: (1) Take the threat of spiritual attack seriously; (2) pray for strength and help from God; (3) study the Bible to recognize Satan’s style and tactics; (4) memorize Scripture so it will be a source of help no matter where you are; (5) associate with those who speak the truth; and (6) practice what you are taught by sound leaders.--- Life Application Study Bible notes‘the Lord is faithful’ - God is faithful in regard to creation (Psalm 119:90), His promises (Deuteronomy 7:9; 2 Corinthians 1:18; Hebrews 10:230), salvation (1 Thessalonians 5:24), temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13), suffering (1 Peter 4:19), and here faithful to strengthen and protect from Satan.--- MacArthur Study Bible
