Answer:
SATAN'S STRATEGIES
Taken from April 2017 article The War Goes On By Larry R. Lawrence @lds moreholinessgivere
We need to study the enemy's tactics in order to defeat him. -Brigham Young
1. Temptation
-Send him away/tell him to leave -Recite scripture (Scripture POWER)
2. Lies & Deception -Rely on the gift of the Holy Ghost Carry the sword of the Spirit
-Learn to spot counterfeits and avoid them
3. Contention
-Seek to make peace no matter the place, no matter who started the conflict - Avoid fault-finding, criticism, judgment, especially speaking it out loud Satan can hear our words but can't read our minds. Speaking unkindly out loud exposes our weaknesses to the enemy.
4. Discouragement
-Pres. Benson suggested serving others: working hard and avoiding idleness practicing good health habits, which include exercising and eating foods in their natural state: seeking a priesthood blessing: listening to inspiring music
counting your blessings and setting goals. -Pray always, that you may come off conqueror (D&C 10:5).
