I really like this from "Pursuit Of His Presence" by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland for today:
There is no truth in him [the devil]. – John 8:44
You might as well face it. As long as you are on this earth, the devil is going to talk to you. He has a right to test your faith by bringing you circumstances and lies to see if you’ll receive them. But when he does, refuse them. Cast down those fearful imaginations and every thought that is contrary to the promise of God (2 Corinthians 10:5). Say, “The Lord is on my side. I will not fear!” Then open your mouth and speak the Word of God. Use it to contradict the devil’s lies.
The Word of God tells us not to be ignorant of the tricks, schemes and "devices" of the enemy in 2 Corinthians 2:11. Here are both the KJV and AMP versions:
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. KJV
11 To keep Satan from getting the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his wiles and intentions. AMP
How do you stay wise where the enemy is concerned? You stay daily in the Word of God and filled with the Spirit of God! As you do, you will learn that the enemy has only ONE weapon. That weapon is the lie! Remember, He IS a liar and the father of all lies (John 8:44)! The only thing you need is to recognize the lie from the Truth! God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17), so know the Word and you will ALWAYS know the Truth from the lie! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Tell The World":
Shalom in Him
