James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Do you know the devil is after you? Yeah…..He is really real and he wants your soul!!! I don’t like talking about the devil a lot because I don’t want to give him that time in my mind. I’d rather talk about Jesus all day everyday………BUT…..people need to know the facts about satan. Knowledge is power…..what you don’t know can hurt you in this case. You need to know about his tricks.
I know that the devil will use all kinds of tricks and deceptions in your mind. He will make things that are not true come as truth to you. If you Know God’s word and have hidden His word in your heart….If you have submitted your whole self (body, mind and spirit) you CAN resist the devil. This is a fact.
The definitions of flee: to run….disappear…….escape from……tear away from…….high tail it out of there….leave suddenly and quickly.
Can you imagine the devil having to flee…run from you?
Let me tell you how the devil played tricks on me. If you think about your problems too much you will get very down. Years ago it was very easy for me to get down. I would dwell…focus on my situation and before I knew it….I got an invitation to the devils pity party. Have you ever been invited? Here’s one of his invitations for me:
You are invited to a Pity Party
Date…………………………………….……Today
Location……………………………………Anywhere
Time…………………………………….…..Anytime
Given by…………………………………….The demons for the devil (aka satan)
RSVP……………………………………….. None needed-Open invitation
Anyone is invited, any age, color, and race
No gifts accepted…I just want your mind and soul!
OK folks… this is what the devil does to me. He invites me to this pity party…I start thinking…whoa is me…..I’m going through so much…nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen…I can’t take this anymore. Then the devil sends the limousine for me and it stops in front of me and the door opens up for me to get in. Now many years ago I would let the devil drive me around in the limo and my soul was tortured with depression, hopelessness, loneliness, confusion, and everything negative he could put in my mind.
Then as I grew in the Lord I would still get in…but I would get right out. Now…today….I see that limo coming down the street and I submit myself to the Lord and with scripture hidden in my heart…..that devil runs from me!!!! The devil hates me and with good reason…I’m a prayer intercessor and I have learned and believed and know that …….. greater is he that is in you( and me), than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
Message for today: If you see that limousine coming for you…don’t get in. The devils got bad plans for you….but our Jesus has exceptional ….wonderful plans for you…and He will bring it all to pass!!! You can take that to the bank and cash it!!
Don’t you let the devil trick you….Ya’ hear?

This is an absolutely great post Ms. Nemley. It is so true. I am going to work harder to keep him away from me too. As far away as possible.

It’s easy to fall prey to the Pity Party, but when we keep our eyes on Jesus, we’ll see that His party is so much more pleasing! Thanks for explaining it this way!

So true Debbie. The enemy is so slick how he tries to pull us into his trap. I’d rather have Jesus too.
