Inflated, Deflated!

Think about the day you accepted Jesus as your Savior! You started to live your life like He wants you to. You start attending church regularly. Clean up your act. Stop swearing  (or at least trying to). Get rid of all the music and movies that don't glorify God. You think you are doing pretty well. On the right track. 

Then one night while on the internet, you click on something. It leads you down a slipper slope. One that you have been down before. You feel the Devil or Satan starting to inflate himself again in your life. He is trying to rise back up to where he was before you accepted Jesus. Trying to pump air into himself to gain traction again. 

1 Peter 5:8 Living Bible

8 Be careful—watch out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry, roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart.

You realize what is happening and cry out to God.

"PLEASE HELP ME". "I need Your help" 

He hears your cry and answers with "Not today Satan." "You are defeated, deflated and face down on the ground!" He does what every father should do. Protect His children!

2 Thessalonians 3:3 Living Bible

3 But the Lord is faithful; he will make you strong and guard you from satanic attacks of every kind.

You start feeling better about things. Knowing that God is with you. We are His children.

2 Corinthians 6:18 New Living Translation

18 And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

So strengthen yourself by going deeper into Gods word. Read your Bible everyday. It will give you the wisdom and knowledge that you need to overcome the evil one!

James 4:7 New Living Translation

7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

So I encourage you to put on the full armor of God. Get ready for a battle. The evil one may strike your heal, but you strike his head! He is defeated & deflated!

God bless!
