I found this sketch on google, and I like the contradictions from the devil (Satan's truths).
Each day we must discipline ourselves to prepare for battle. This world we live in is full of evil, and we want to make sure we are standing on solid ground. Ephesians 6:13-18 says:
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
These words are more than words that we need to learn to apply to our daily life: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation. The Message translation says that God’s Word is an indispensable weapon and that prayer is an essential weapon.
So when you dress each day, put on the belt of truth, body armor of God’s righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the Spirit for your sword. Once you’ve clothed yourselves in these, douse yourself with the sweet smelling perfume of prayer.
Blessings to you.
