As born again believers we are NOT exempt from the attacks of the devil. However we DO have ALL authority over him and his works and workers because of Jesus! We have HIS authority, His Word and His Name to use against them. Look at Luke 10:19:
19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
When attacks come, realize that they have no power over you as long as you stand on His Word and in your authority in HIM. Refuse to be intimidated, distracted or side-tracked by these attacks but, as David did in the Psalms, encourage yourself in the Lord! Look at 1 Samuel 30:6:
6 David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
How did he do this? Look at today's Bible Reading in Psalm 43:5:
5 Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God.
We thank Him, praise Him and worship Him for who He is and what He has ALREADY done! That gives us the encouragement needed to begin to thank Him for what He is GOING to do, in answer to our prayer! AMEN! Have YOU done this yet today? Don't wait for the attack! Go on the offensive right now, and every day, by praising Him ALWAYS! Make YOUR life a life of worship, of thanksgiving and of praise to the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! GREAT results and victories are waiting on YOU! AMEN! Here is an older song from Hillsong called "Alive In Us":
Shalom in Him!
