The apostles warned men against a personal devil
Ephesians 4:27
And do not give the devil a foothold.
Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you.
1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know
that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of
sufferings.
Pray!
Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is
happy should sing praises.
James 5:13
When a believing person prays—great things happen.
If you want to deepen your prayer life—pray. Don’t prepare to
pray. Just pray. Don’t read about prayer. Just pray. Don’t attend a lecture on
prayer or engage in discussion about prayer. Just pray.
James 5:13
says anyone who’s having troubles should pray.
Anyone who’s happy should sing praises.
Posture, tone, and place are personal matters. Do what works
for you. Just don’t overthink it. In other words, don’t be so concerned about
wrapping the gift that you never give it. Better to pray awkwardly than not at
all.
And if you feel you should only pray when you’re inspired,
that’s okay. Just see to it that you are inspired every day. – Max Lucado
