When the Devil Attacks...................



He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Psalm 91:15

and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3

An area that the devil attacks is our joy. Christians don't always seem to recognize his work in that area as quickly as they should. By the time they realize his work, he had already done much damage. That is why the Bible urges us to be vigilant. I have learned from scripture that Satan is persistent. We have to be even more persistent when it comes to resisting and rebuking him. It is important for you and I to remember that when we let the devil steal our joy we are in disobedience to God. We lose our joy when we worry and choose to believe Satan's lies over God's truth. God says tells us not to fear. He says he will always be with us. He says to be of good cheer. God says he will never forsake you. You need to find strength in God's word.

Friend, you must remember that Satan will consistently try to take the circumstances in your life and turn them into an attack. (Psa 55:22) Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Satanic attacks are indeed burden and God wants us to cast that burden on Him since He knows our own strength is inadequate for the job of fighting Satan. Fighting the devil is a job that God is well-equipped to handle. Your job is to hand your burden over to God. To carry your burden is to disobey God.(2 Cor 13:8) For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. When you are under attack because of the devil's lies answer with truth just like Jesus did when He was tempted. Satan cannot handle truth and he can’t destroy truth. That is why it is imperative that you get familiar with the truth found in scripture. Read your Bible. It would be silly to go to war without weapons. Like wise, it is silly to handle your warfare without the full armor of God.

Friend, as first sign of sadness cut it off with the word of God and start praising God.So put on the full armor of God. Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7

Praise the Lord!
