Here is the Apostle Paul's advice:

Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV
[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
A) principalities, against
B) powers, against
C) the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
D) spiritual wickedness in high places.

[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

1) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth
2) and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
3) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
4) Above all, taking the shield of faith,
5) And take the helmet of salvation,
6) and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
7) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,

Our enemy and his wiles. (Ephesians 6:11/ II Corinthians 2:11)
Wile: Sly, tricky,deceitful, crafty, beguiling, luring, confusing,using magic, or divination.

II Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

II Thessalonians 2:7-10 KJV
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only He (God the Holy Spirit) who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way.
[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:
[9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

The Word of God:

Matthew 4:1-11 KJV
[1] Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
[2] And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred.
[3] And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
[4] But He answered and said, It is written (the Word of God), Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
[5] Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple,
[6] And saith unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
[7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again (the Word of God), Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
[8] Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
[9] And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
[10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written (the Word of God), Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.
[11] Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.


I John 2:14 KJV
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.


The Blood of the Lamb of God:

Revelation 12:11 KJV
And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


The name of Jesus:

Ephesians 1:19-23 KJV
[19] And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,
[20] Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,
[21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
[22] And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,
[23] Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.


Philippians 2:9-11 KJV
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:
[10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
[11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


The power of God the Holy Spirit:

II Thessalonians 2:3-12 NLT
3 Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness (The coming Ant-Christ) is revealed—the one who brings destruction.
4 He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God (Abomination of Desolation).
5 Don’t you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you?
6 And you know what (Who:God the Holy Spirit) is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes.
7 For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one (The Holy Spirit) who is holding it back steps out of the way.
8 Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of His mouth and destroy him by the splendor of His coming.
9 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.
12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.


Isaiah 59:19 KJV
...When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.


Don't be deceived:

I John 3:7-9 KJV
[7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
