There are other answers to these questions, but think about the implication of the answers in this list first, and then explore other possibilities. Remember, this is a spiritual exercise.
Q. Who do bullies victimize?
A. The weak, the defenseless.

Q. Who do thieves victimize?
A. The rich, the careless.
THEREFORE, since Satan seeks to spoil and rob those whom God has blessed with gifts, skills, relationships, advantages, talents, abilities, then Christians must treasure, develop and exercise those blessings and make certain that they are used in service to God through a willing and humble life, so that God will get the glory.
Q. Who do deceivers victimize?
A. The naive, the gullible, the ignorant.
THEREFORE, since Satan seeks to confuse, ensnare and mislead believers, they must seek wisdom from God through study, prayer, and godly counsel. They must not allow their feelings to open the gate to the enemy, but rather, allow the Holy Spirit to guard their ear gate, eye gate, feel gate, at all times.

1 John 5:4
(4) For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
