God will give you the strength to stand in all areas of adversity. He even gives you the weapons you need to battle against it.
Let’s get real…you will never outgrow warfare. Neither age nor spiritual maturity will exempt you from satanic attack. Jesus experienced it in Matthew 4:1. Moses experienced it after many years in the ministry.
Fasting? Prayer? Knowledge? These three are simply your weapons of war.
No, you cannot always out distance your enemy, you must stand and RESIST your enemy.
“But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty. So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:6-7 The Living Bible).
The word “resist” in Greek means “to combat.” Resisting is a sign of power, and the devil needs to see it expressed in every area of battle. Keep pressing in, and resist! It will help get you over the top of adversity.
