The word “devices” (noemata) was stated by one expositor that the word bears the notion of MIND GAMES.  So, the verse could be translated: “….We are not ignorant of the mind games that satan tries to pull on us.”  Paul uses that word to describe attacks that he had personally resisted so we know that even he had to deal with the adversary”s mental assaults from time to time.  Paul knew from experience about the MIND GAMES the devil tries to pull on people!

The word “devices” is the Greek word for THE MIND OR THE INTELLECT.   However, the form of the word that was used by Paul in 2nd Cor. 2:11, carries the idea of a DECEIVED MIND.  Specifically, this word ‘noemata’ denotes the insidious and malevolent plot of satan to fill the human mind with confusion.  The word actually depicts the wicked schemes of satan to attack and victimize the human mind.

Question, if the devil operates on one single avenue, what do you believe is the destination that the road is heading toward?  In 2 Cor. 2:11, Paul gives us a clue as to where this road leads that the enemy is traveling on.  Paul says, “…….We are not ignorant of his (satan’s) devices.”

When Paul used the word ‘methodos’ which means “with a road,” he is telling us how the devil puts his cunning, crafty, subtle, and tricky deception to work. The word “wiles” clearly reveals that the devil operates WITH A ROAD OR ON A ROAD.  So, what does that mean?  It means that contrary to the common belief of most people, the devil does NOT have as many tricks in his bag as he would like us to belief.  The word “wiles” plainly means that the enemy travels one road, one lane, or one avenue.  In other words, he primarily has only one trick in his bag…and he obviously has learned to use that one trick very well!

Sometimes in the translation of Greek to English, we don’t always get the full understanding of the words.  But the Holy Spirit is telling us EXACTLY how the devil operates and HOW he comes to attack and assault a believer’s mind. For instance, the word “wiles” (methodos) is often translated to carry the idea of something that is CUNNING, CRAFTY, SUBTLE, or FULL OF TREACHERY.  However, the most basic translation of this word is its literal meaning, WITH A ROAD!

So, why do we need this armor? What are we supposed to “stand against?” What are “the wiles of the devil?” We need to really understand the words “WILES,” “DEVICES” and “DECEPTION” when studying the subject of spiritual warfare. It is IMPOSSIBLE to have a correct and balanced view of spiritual warfare without having un understanding of these three foundational words. Let us begin with, “WILES” in the Greek it is literally translated “WITH A ROAD.” We derive the English word ‘METHOD’ but that really is not strong enough to convey the full meaning of the Greek word, “methodos.”

With God’s mighty power and His armor on our side, demonstrates that we are more than a match for the enemy. In fact, we are a fearsome and terrible threat to satan’s domain! We should never shudder at the thougt of what the devil can do to us. This spiritual armor puts us in a super powerful position that makes the enemy shudder and tremble at the very thought of what we can do to him! With the armor of God in hand, we are so mighty and powerful in Jesus Christ that the devil and his forces don’t have a chance. When we are dressed in this suit of armor, we become mighty spiritual warriors who are DRESSED TO KILL!
