More ammunition to win the battle against the attempted return of demons that have been evicted from the "house". If there are certain areas that have been your downfall, find scriptures that you can use against the Enemy.
Tongue
Pro 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Pro 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
One thing that can get us in trouble faster than anything is if we cannot control our tongue. We don't have to use filthy language or lie to have a problem with our tongue. How about complaining or speaking negative words that do not line up with scripture or even worse speak a curse into our life?
Alcohol/Drunkeness
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
One can't afford to slip into using any kind of mind or mood-altering chemical. Drugs and alcohol are a great temptation used by the Enemy, especially if that has been an area of weakness in the past. Friends who still use may need to be avoided if there is the slightest possibility that they will encourage you to participate in certain activities.
Unforgiveness
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
As soon as you get angry or upset with anyone it is absolutely necessary that you forgive. Even if it's just the guy that cuts you off on the highway, you don't have to know someone in order to have unforgiveness. Forgive and keep the slate clean.
