“But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.”
(1 Peter 5:9 NKJ)
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.”
(Ephesians 6:11 NKJ)
You know how things go wrong, then improve seemingly on their own? Or finances come at the very time you need them? Look really closely. You will see God’s fingerprints all over you.
For example, when you are going to do something, like go to church. But you decide to stay home. But at the last minute you give in to the urge and go. Like me last night. Get out your fingerprint equipment. There’s God’s fingerprints. The devil wants us discouraged. I was going to stay home from church last night. I just didn’t feel real good. I had a sore throat and a headache. But I went anyway.
You have to make a stand against the devil. Show him who the boss is. I showed him last night. I need to do that more often. I need to stand my ground against him. I am not going to tell you life will be a bed of roses by standing up to him. Because it won’t. The more you do for God the more the devil attacks. I say bring it on. I have the most powerful weapon for me to use. It’s the blood of Jesus. The blood covers us and will protect us. Use it liberally. It’s free and powerful. It never runs out either.
So no matter what is going on in your life, use the blood and stand your ground. Quote scriptures. The devil will flee.
Have a great day and stay cool.
