Be An Overcomer By Resisting The Devil

Those who succeed have learned how to resist the devil. The devil pushes us to promote ourselves in many ways. He promotes us to do things so that we can receive personal pleasure, credit, praise or power. We are told that if we want to spiritually succeed we must resist these motivations. We should ask the question, "Why am I doing what I am doing? What is my motivation? When it is over do I expect praise, credit or power?" If so, we are encouraged to resist devilish impulses. The weapons we use to resist the devil are: faith and prayer. A man or woman who operates on faith and prayer is able to resist the devil. God will help us recognize that a certain act is not according to his will, when we pray before we act. He will also help us to stand when the devil attacks. To resist the devil we cannot afford to abandon our prayer lives. If we went through this week without taking time to read our bible or share in a moment of personal prayer, our resistance will be low. Satan will find plenty of room to impose himself on our thoughts and actions. He can't get a word in if we are constantly focused on the Lord and His kingdom.
