1Pet. 5:8 Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. NLT
Are you tired of the devil attacking you? Are you tired of him messing with your money, your joy, your home, your family, etc? Are you tired of being oppressed, depressed, and repressed by him? Well then, LEAVE HIM ALONE!
So many of us complain about how terrible things are going in our lives and how things seem to never get better, but then we make decisions that are demonic in nature and afterwards, complain about how the devil is attacking us.
We must face the reality of it all sooner or later. When you mess with the devil, he will mess with you! I have people tell me all the time that it seems like their life is torn apart and they can never see the light of day.They seem to pray
constantly about things, seek God about things, and read the bible everyday, but it doesn't ever seem to work for them. "Why is this?" the

they ask. Well, when you look carefully and closely, you will almost always find a doorway that the devil has in their lives and he keeps walking in and out anytime he pleases. There is usually an addiction (drugs, alcohol, porn, sex, etc.) or there is a sinful person/relationship, or there is an emotional problem/issue that they are battling. These things, if they are not dealt with, will always be the open door for the devil to have access to your life
and everything that you have. You see, if he can get into your stuff, he
will always mess it up. So, no matter how far you go, he will always
have a way to stop you and bring you back to the starting point. You will never
progress with the devil entering in and out of these doorways. Deal with
the problem and the issues in your life, close the door, and then you will
grow in Christ and move forward. Get out of the sinful relationship.
Stop going out and hanging with people that are tearing you down.

person/place/thing!

If you are tired of the devil messing with you,
THEN LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen! And yet they laugh, scorn, ridicule. Keep witnessing! God Bless You!
"And I seek not mine own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth." John 8:50 and verse 55, "Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him; and if I should say, 'I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I KNOW HIM, and keep His saying." So, keep it up!

The Devil has no power over us unless we allow it, those who refuse to believe there is even a Devil have left their selves wide open to his influences and are easily overtaken. I seldom give any thought to the Devil, I am aware he exists and tries his dirty tricks on everyone but I devote my time to God and throw back the Devil in the name of Jesus. Sometimes people ask for the wrong things, sometimes they are not putting everything into God's hands, sometimes they believe but do not have faith, they doubt. Prayer avails much.

If I may.......
our sinful nature,
the world's system,
the evil one,
temptations, and such are things bombard us all BUT the unbeliever is powerless to overcome or even notice some of the things he is doing or is involved with to be sin. In our "do it if it feels right' society they call evil good and good evil.
Unless one has the spirit of God they will not even see what great sins they are committing everyday.
FIRST, the call is to REPENT! THEN it's depart from your evil ways and FORSAKE the evil one who has you bound.
Col 1:13-14
13 "For he has rescued US (believers) from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom WE have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
But THEY are still in the dominion of darkness under his control, and don't even KNOW IT! AND they think we are enslaved, when we are the freed ones! IRONY!!

Been there, done that. I had a door open for years for the enemy to pick on me, I had to make a choice. Just like the children of Israel when they entered the promise land, I had to make a decision to fight and be an over-comer.
I had to leave it alone.
As long as I fight, God gives me His strength to overcome.
With His strength working in our favor, we never lose.
Walking in victory is great!!!

Because they complain. START PRAISING GOD, be Thankful for what you have and what you DO NOT have.
They lack faith that there IS POWER and AUTHORITY in the name of JESUS.
Stop whining, Stop complaining, and CLAIM THE POWER IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, Take the AUTHORITY that JESUS left us who believe and rebuke that serpent called the devil.

they are not going to listen to you or any of us until they hit rock bottom, and when they have absolutely nothing left, then maybe they will reach out to god for guidance, maybe then they will work on their sins and their problems, but sadly for some people it takes more than just a few troubles, some people are so blind and so lost that they have to lose it all. but thank you fr trying, than you for at least warning them, at least you can say that you tried. i pray that a few will listen and take your advice and learn something, instead of answering with sarcasam, or laughter. god bless.

You speak LOUDLY for the things of God, that He tells us in HIs Bible. I too could just write books on this. I too dont undersatnd. GOd gave us a Bible, a HOly Bible that explains it all , the divine plan of God. HE tells us what to do to stay with Him and in His protection. we must LOVE AND OBEY. ALl will hear that call, but few will answer. YOu ahve those that will love and obey and they wont do the things that the devil entices them to. ITs easy to say no to sin, when its as vile to you as it is TO GOD. GOd says to obey HE doesnt say try to. We are to obey as Jesus obeyed the father, into perfection. Thats where protection lie.
OBedience leads to blessing and disobedience still leads to curse too.
Still today, it never chagned. Jesus didnt come that sin may abound> GOD FORBID. Jesus came and died so we dont have to die a spiritual death, and He suffered so we didnt have to suffer. When Jesus died, He gave us the right to do all that He does, except SAVE, by the annointing power of the shed blood of Jesus Chrsit. Say YEs to Jesus and NO to sin. You cant be part way Gods and part way the devils. YOu are either fully Gods or you arent His at all. The message that grace covers deliberate continued willful sin is a lie. just like the devil. lies lies lies.
Its our choice if we believe GOd and its our choice if we obey. BUt if we dont obey and say No to sin, we will be lost and we will bring such misery to us and others around us.
PPl can cry all they want about their life and pray, but till they say No to the devil, they will continue to seperate themselvess from God and bring chaos, ruin and destruction into their lives.
YOu are coreect, if we mess with the devil, he messes with us.
SO if we are truly tired of being sick and tired and nothing ever changing. lets say NO To sin and YEs to God, and do all He tells us to do
Our only safe ground it to be fully GOds and in his full protection Jesus says, FOLLOW me. what does follow mean to most of us today???? just believing?? even the devil believed.
Follow means to be like, walk like, think like, speak li,e and be just like Jesus. PPL say it cant be done. bullonie. Why woudl GOd command it if not possible???? God doesnt operate liek that. YOu call HIm liar when you say you cant do it.
GOd is giving this last day message of warning to His ppl. Either you are fully His or you arent at all. Not much longer to choose. Run to JEsus NOW and say yes, and then live to the high standard of what God has called us to do. ITs not living all the rules and being mean. We are to have the Love of God first, and then live as He says. Otherwise it doesnt work. Let the HOly Spirit guide you all. These are things we daily must think on and pray about, and just surrdner daily our will to Gods , to do His purose for our lives, and be in HIs will and not our own, as only GOd knows best.
Be watchmen for God. watch out for all the man ways the devil will attack, and then know you know how to battle the enmy with the word of God By abiding fully in Christ, and obeying, you will be able to put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight of faith, and the enemy must flee.
When we are truly GOds, no weapon formed against us will prosper. IF we are only part way Gods, He will only part way protect us. NOt a popular message nowadays, but still truth.
Know Gods truths and operate in the reslm where He resides, that says ALl things are possible with GOd, and get out of the I CANT attitude, thats of the devil folks.
GOd bless you all. May we all draw closer to God today and learn more. So much to know and learn, I count it all as joy.
