Shalom,

This, from the devotional on The Spoken Word Church website ( www.thespokenwordchurch.org ) is simple, but so powerfully important!

Don't Accommodate Your Enemy

Your real enemy and adversary is Satan. Always remember this: He wants to destroy you. Don't yield. Don't negotiate. It is unnatural to attempt peace with an enemy. You must conquer an enemy.

"Neither give place to the devil." (Ephesians 4:27)

AMEN! The devil is an already defeated foe! Jesus conquered him through His death, burial and resurrection. He bought US back, paying the "ransom" with Himself! Don't give place to this conquered one who tells only lies and the Truth is not found in him anywhere (John 8:44)! Instead, use the authority that Jesus gave to you to cast him out and to silence him in your presence! Know who you are IN CHRIST, and refuse to be intimidated by the devil ever again! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Shout Unto God":

Shalom in Him!
