Hey! I was treated to some coffee by a dear friend. Today I am drinking Pumpkin Pie By Bigby Coffee. Thanks Liz!
Many people believe in God, yet they discount the devil as being unreal and mythical. God has never hidden from any of us, the fact that the devil exists. The Bible is very clear on that point. John 3:16 states that God loves us so much that He sent Jesus so that when we would believe on Him we would not perish. Satan has no power over God. Satan is only a fallen angel full of pride. His one goal is to hurt God. In order to do that He attacks the ones whom God loves. He may use temptation to lead us down a wrong road. He may cause havoc in our lives to get us to doubt God.
But here is the good news.
Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7
We can stop Satan right where he stands!
1st. Submit to God. That is accomplished by placing your life under God's loving authority.
2nd. RESIST which means to stand with courage. How? By recalling Biblical truths. Memorize some Scripture. Strengthen yourself through prayer. Turn your back on anything that would lead you astray.
3rd. Why stand alone to temptation? Get an accountability partner. Let them ask you about the sins you like to keep. Help one another resist. Be honest and open with each other. Tell each other where you are weak. pray for one another.
You see the result? Once the battle becomes two sided. He runs. Just like the prideful coward he is.
God bless. Happy Friday
Marty
