Hello everyone hope you all are doing well.
Today I'm going to be encouraging us on how to resist the devil.
The Bible says in James chapter 4, verse 7: “Resist the devil, and he will flee away from you.” This verse is a very strong verse and a very strong encouragement to us, the believers.
There are circumstances in which we are going to find ourselves, and we are going to continue praying and praying, but it wouldn't solve them. This is because sometimes we need to resist the devil physically, because we may find ourselves in a situation where it is our self-control that can help us. So, when we develop that self-control, we will have the ability to resist the flesh.
So, what I'm saying is that resisting the devil in all circumstances can help us to remain pure. That doesn't mean prayer isn't involved. Prayer is the number one thing that we need to do, and prayer will give us the ability and the power to have that self-control in us.
So, what I'm saying is that sometimes we need to recollect and reflect on our lives. If there are things that we see that are not working, we should be intentional about that, and we should resist it, and that thing will flee away from us.
The Bible also said the devil is moving like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. The devil never gets tired of hunting believers. He tries his possible best to see that, yes, he brings us down.
So, what do we have to do? It's for us to resist him in all situations. We shouldn't give him a chance to penetrate or to navigate into our hearts. We should make sure that we are conscious of everything we do, and that can help us to stand firm in God.
