Resisting the devil
is not easy. Those who are not engaged
in the battle are already won and will find very little warring against them.
Those who do not fight the spiritual fight can scarcely comprehend the fight as
a reality in others. Those who do fight the spiritual fight can understand just
how important it is for us to resist the devil- we know that resisting the
devil is a REAL thing, not something manufactured by actors on tv and in
movies, or authors in fictional books.
We are in a battle and in our battle the war is for our spirit and its
suppression. Satan will take control over our spirit if we do not engage in the
battle, if we do not resist, if we do not avail ourselves of the weapons and
protection given to us by God. God WILL provide all we need to live for Him,
may we by HIS grace and mercy, comprehend what He has provided and utilize His
gifts to us.
In His love!

'How shall we
resist? With the Word of God which is the Sword of the Holy Spirit. As a
believer receives God’s Word it becomes “spirit and life” to him. Hence he can
employ this as his weapon of resistance. A heavenly believer knows how to use
the Word of God advantageously to break down the enemy’s lie. Even now a battle
is raging in the world of the spirit. Though unobserved by the eyes of the
flesh, it is sensed and proven by those who are seeking heavenly
progress.' The Spiritual Man by Watchman
