We are NOT unaware...

Thinking abit more on mishandled emotions...how debilitating that would be, and how we should not 'give the devil a foothold' because of unhealed or mishandled emotions...

'"In your anger do not sin":
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
and do not give the devil a foothold.'
Eph 4:26-27


The solution given to us seems quite simplistic...

"Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil
, and he will flee from you."
James 4:7


"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." 1 Peter 5:8-9


"in order that Satan might not outwit us.
For we are not unaware of his schemes."
2 Cor 2:11

Not only are we aware of the schemes that the evil one has, but we have victory over them by Jesus' authority, and a promise that God himself will not allow us to be harmed! Wow!

'He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions
and to overcome all the power of the enemy;
nothing will harm you.'
Luke 10:18-19
