It’s doable. As James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Satan’s stuff is mostly psychological warfare, countervailing thoughts, inner doubts, fears and past failures brought forward, the ‘you can’ts’ and ‘you’ll nevers’, stuff like that.

And it’s there, in our thoughts, that’s where he wins and we fail. We listen, we give in and we give up. We quit in the moment and go with the devil’s easy ‘pseudo-truth’ instead of working through his noise for the victory.

Because, more often than not, if the devil’s attacks are countered with thought and, even better, with action, too, then he disappears like a mist, like a training aid no longer needed.

Win! All glory to God.

True that.

It’s a matter of choice of believing the truth or the enemy’s lies.

It makes all the difference in the world.
