Choose.

Fluttering eyelids resist the push to open. Consciousness, a soft whisper longed to be denied. Unable to conquer the demand of awareness, wakefulness takes the place of dark, unknowing sleep. Instant comprehension a new day's beginning with each and every choice as yet unmade. The world of existence harboring the seen and unseen, with faith's charge to believe. Forces surround, swarm, seeking adherence. Will - allowing denial, seeking that which offers without assaulting. Every breath spirit filled- holy versus evil, we choose.  Submit to One, resist the other, we choose. No longer cocooned in sleep's soothing embrace, we must choose or slip senselessly into the day's deception.

Jas_4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Eph 4:27  Neither give place to the devil. 

Eph 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Rev 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 

Rev 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 

Rev 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 

2Co 2:10  To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; 

2Co 2:11  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

1Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

1Pe 5:9  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

' If lost ground is ever to be recovered it is mandatory that the volition be reactivated. The Christian “henceforth must learn (a) to obey God’s will, (b) to resist the devil’s will, and (c) to exercise his

own will in collaboration with the will of the other saints.' (Excerpt- The Spiritual Man- by Watchman Nee.)

Please, Lord, please Father in heaven, we would submit to You, we would resist the Devil.

All through Jesus Christ our Lord, our Savior, now and forever!!!!!!!
