Faith in Christ and the truths of the Bible give us not so much a combative power encounter over demonic spirits, but a truth encounter, giving us freedom from the power they once had over us. That freedom is protected by the "armor of God" -- the presence of the Holy Spirit within us and our commitment to live rightly, that is, to live a holy life through faith in Christ.
We can, however, drop that armor or protection by the sinful ways we think and live -- aligning ourselves with the lies and deceptions of the Enemy -- allowing spirits to gain a hold on us to influence, interfere, and subtly control us, whether directly or through the influence of the demonically driven world around us.
God will fight every battle for us if we remain aligned with him through an active faith and committed life in Jesus Christ.
