I'm so thankful for this. The devil tries to drag us down each day, but I'm not flinching. I'm not going that way.

This is why I read the Bible and pray. This is our armor against our enemy, the devil. Having God by my side in spiritual battles against the enemy, is a true blessing. In moments of struggle, leaning on His strength and finding encouragement makes all the difference.

Here is some encouragement from the Lord and perspectives to remember when standing firm in your faith:

Submit and Resist:

James 4:7, which states: "Turn yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you".

Drawing near to God, gives you the strength to stand firm. The Bible reminds us that when you turn to God and resist the devil, he will flee.

The Power of Praise:

Many believers find that focusing on praise and worship is a powerful way to lift your spirit and push back against the darkness.

"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

When we fix our thoughts on God, instead of our worries, fears, or problems, He fills us with His peace. This is our spiritual weapon against Satan.

The Armor of God:

You are equipped with truth, righteousness, and the shield of faith to stand against any of life's spiritual challenges.
