2 Corinthians 11:14-15 KJV “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.”

I know a guy, when I greet him he always says, “I’m on the spiritual battlefield.” But he doesn’t study the Bible. In fact, I heard him once say to someone he doesn’t need to read the Bible. He’s not aware I heard him say that. How absurd this sounds. Which battlefield is he on? And which side is he fighting for? God or Satan? Imagine a policeman who never carries his/her weapon. A soldier who doesn’t carry their gear. How can you be in a battle for God and not be suited for battle? (Ephesians 6:10-18) You may know people like this too. People who try hard to convince you, “I’m a Christian too!” Why are they trying so hard to convince us they’re fighting with us side by side when they are not? Because they’re warring for the Devil. They’re spies. 

If you hang with hypocrites you will be harmed spiritually and physically. (1 Corinthians 15:33) That’s why David said:

Psalm 26:4 NLT “I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.”

Only one thing will result from such fellowship; harm. If you listen to God and avoid toxic people you will be accused of thinking you’re better. Who cares? This is your soul we’re talking about preserving here. You are on the battlefield for God if you serve Jesus Christ. So war well! Avoid human landmines. They’re traps laid by Satan. Pray to God for the courage to sever bad relationships: 

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 ESV “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
