Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1CORINTHIANS 15:58(NKJV)

Lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 CORINTHIANS 2:11(NKJV)

None of us is perfect. If we’re not careful, we allow the devil to point to what we haven’t accomplished and where we have been weak. When that happens, it’s easy to feel bad or want to give up. No matter how we mess up our lives, God doesn’t give up on us. The Spirit constantly nudges us. We can allow our thoughts to dwell on what we haven’t done, why we ought to be more spiritual, or how spiritual we ought to be after all these years in our Christian faith. That’s a trick of the devil to make us think of our defects and short comings. If we focus on what we’re not or what we haven’t accomplished, we are allowing the devil to make advances on the battlefield of our minds. With the Holy Spirit’s help, you can push back the devil and regain the territory Satan has stolen from you.
