A House Divided Against Itself-Cannot Stand
Division, no matter whether it is in the home, the church, the government, it brings about confusion and confusion is of satan.
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, I Cor. 14:43
It is our duty to make things easy to understand and by doing so we bring peace and not confusion into our lives, our homes, our churches, our government, our jobs.
Believers and unbelievers alike can sin against the Holy Spirit (Ghost). Sinning against the Holy Spirit (Ghost) is considered as an unpardonable sin for which there is no forgiveness. Jesus was accused of this blasphemy by His enemies (the Pharisees) when he cast devils out of a man possessed with a blind and dumb devil using the Spirit of God.The man was then able to see and speak. The Pharisee's accused Him of casting out devils by the power of Satan.
"And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and shall not stand: Matt. 12:25
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? Matt. 12;26
And if I by Be-el'-ze-bub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. Matt. 12:27
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Matt. 12:28
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Matt. 12:29
No matter be it a church, a government, friends, marriage, or a relationship with the Lord, if someone is not with you, they are against you, just as Jesus said:
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Matt. 12:29

Satan will try to lead your thoughts away from Christ in an attempt to turn you away from Him.
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3
You can protect yourself from the devil and all evil by putting on the whole armor of God.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, Ephesians 6:11:18
If you submit yourselves to God and resist the devil he will flee from you.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
If we as individuals, in churches, in government and in our beliefs band together we can prevent division. Dividing us is what satan wants because he cannot overpower the Lord. Satan tries to divide us to conquer us. However, when we band together we are stronger.
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:12
