Three things we as believers have to be on guard against !! these things will hinder our spiritual growth.
1. The Devil
-----------------
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
2. FLESH
--------------
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.
Romans 8:6
For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
3. WORLD
---------------
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.
1 John 5:19
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
