Learn How to Resist sATAN and his minions
A lot of Christians just do not know how to resist temptation, they think that if they just get in the bible more that they will be able to overcome satan, and they never come out of sin because they don’t know how to resist satan and draw close to God. They forget to pray. They forget to rebuke the devil. They forget to pray themselves to sleep before bed. Instead they are watching TV before they fall asleep. As soon as they wake up they’re playing games on their cell phone, they are listening to worldly music and then they wonder why they can’t break their sin problem. Many Christians are just worldly. You can’t overcome your sin by being a worldly Christian and reading the bible. I know a lot of Christians will say; “Well that is what Jesus did, He rebuked the devil by quoting scripture and then the devil just left Him…” That is just not true. If Jesus were to speak scripture against the devil, but not resist the devil, He would have fallen into sin, that temptation would have overcome Him. We need to be very prudent about resisting the devil and seeing where the enemy is attacking us. We can’t just expect to read scripture and be able to overcome the devil. Many times you will not have a bible or a verse, maybe you are falling asleep and that is when the devil tries to overcome you and he tries to overcome you with temptation when you are weakest. But if you have been praying and seeking Jesus, asking for His Holy Spirit, drawing close to God and working your best to resist the devil, the Lord will put His Holy Spirit in you and give you the power to overcome. A few really strong temptations, especially for people my age or younger, number one is LUST. Demons can come in the form of a woman, either a physical woman or in the form of a dream, and they will try to destroy you spiritually so that then you don’t have faith let, no faith to stand up and speak the truth or resist, because you just will feel beaten down. Another form that is very powerful of temptation is MUSIC. Whether it is rock music, rap, whether it is pop… these sorts of music the devil literally enters and then seduces Christians. WE HAVE TO RESIST MUSIC, the temptations of the flesh, the lusts of the FLESH. No matter how they come against us we must make sure that, you know, we just stick close with Jesus and that we are prayed up, filled with the Holy Spirit. But if we are lukewarm and letting the world into us, if we are not crucifying our flesh, there is no hope for us to overcome just by reading the bible. I want to read to you what Jesus said about lukewarm Christians in Revelation chapter 3:20-22 He says; “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To Him who OVERCOMES I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” If you want to overcome you have to stick close with Jesus, but if you don’t overcome because you are a lukewarm Christian, the devil is going to have his way, he is going to destroy your soul, you are going to have no room to speak the truth or live the truth. You will feel like you can’t get back to Jesus. You will be so beaten down that you will just be laying on the ground and trampled over by the pigs and evil spirits. Make sure that you are not falling asleep just on your cellphone or watching TV or by your computer. Make sure that you are resisting temptation, that you are not listening to worldly music, polluting yourself with the ideas of the world. If we are polluting ourselves with the world, we have no hope. Don’t listen to men, their ideas, don’t chase after conspiracy theories or stories, fantasies… if we are going to stick with Jesus we have to stay IN THE TRUTH, we have to FIX our eyes in the TRUTH, not on the fantasies of the world. This world has a serious problem distinguishing between fantasy, which is fiction and FALSE and the TRUTH OF GOD. They have no roots; they have their feet in the world which is wishy-washy. They don’t have their feet on the truth of GOD. They have no foundation. But we have a foundation in Jesus Christ and the only way to stay rooted in Him is to hold fast to Him, to keep our eyes fixed upon Him and to let NOTHING distract us. Are you falling asleep each night PRAYING? Or are you falling asleep doing other things. Because that is BIG ground for the devil to start working his way right into your mind and into your heart. How about throughout your day? Throughout your day are you praying? Are you bearing witness of the Truth, are you standing up and being a light whenever you can? Or are you full of the world because you entertain sATAN and ALL of his followers whether it is through music, movies...
