Protect your heart

Satan comes “immediately” to take away  the word that was sown in your heart. So, protect it!

“And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.” (Mark 4:15 KJV)

Do not conform to the enemy’s pattern!

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Rom. 12:2 NIV)

Take up the shield of faith

“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” (Eph. 6:16 NIV)

Diligently keep your heart!

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Prov. 4:23 KJV)
