SCRIPTURE
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you ( James 4:7).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Too often people put up with the devil hanging around. This is probably not intentional, but rather because they think some of the things going on around them are either just their own imagination or perhaps their own doing. While human activity certainly has a role in it, we cannot just assume that is the only source at work. Demons are always attempting to insert themselves in human activity. They work to drive circumstances in a different direction. Be careful not to assume that the things going awry in areas of your life are just “you.” Be mindful that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against demon powers (see Eph. 6:12). Make a practice of resisting the devil and commanding all demonic activity to leave. Remind the powers of darkness that your life and property are off-limits. If you feel like you are under attack, be quick to use your God-given authority and tell the enemy he has to flee!
