All Hands on Deck - The Enemy is Still at Work, Always Will Be

Sometimes when times are going well, we still have to be reminded that Satan is at work to steal our joy.  When we should be praising and honoring God, we are caught in a dispute, disappointment or sudden depression because of satanic entities.  We know to wear the full armor of Christ in every situation, but sometimes we don't always do it.

Satan manipulates.

When things seem to be up, the devil and those who follow his ways, will attempt to bring us down.  Using gullible people, shoddy places, and wicked tools, the enemy finds a way to get someone to have evil thoughts about us, twist our words, and entrap us and others in mental brainwashing.  Don't fall for every word that comes out of a hater's mouth!

Satan is jealous.

As much as you don't want to believe that a family member or friend is jealous of you when times are good, they can be.  Satanic influence is rooted in jealousy.  Remember, Satan fell out of a beautiful place and relationship with God--why would he or his angels ever be sincerely happy for you?  So it is never a good idea to tell everyone about everything that is happening to you--they will eventually use it against you.  Evil people find ways to make you feel bad about all the good that is happening to you.  Whether their questions or comments appear helpful or not, be cautious of their so-called well-meaning communication.

Satan is ugly.

Whether one looks good on the outside or inside, something about them is ugly--thanks to Satan's work on them.  You usually find out when you speak to them at length or when you make physical contact.  Always be in prayer before, during and after seeing them.
