Stand....and then keep standing..
     If you're gonna live for Christ you have to take the good, the bad and the ugly at times.  It's not a picture perfect rose garden free of thorns.   The enemy will try to trip you up when it seems that all is fine and dandy.  You see our enemy, the devil, is walking to and fro seeking whom he may devour, he's trying to steal, kill and destroy us.  He wants to see if we are gonna be able to withstand what he dishes out.  You just have to stand your ground and let him know that you have been given more, say it...MORE....authority than he has.  He roars, he calls names, he laughs at you, he brings your past back up as a movie screen sometimes, but you have to be strong, immovable and grounded so that he can't tear you down.   The Bible tells us to Stand therefore with our loins gird about with the gospel of truth.....that means you must quote the WORD to him.  Memorize the scriptures like Jesus did when He was being tempted by the devil.  Jesus had been fasting and no doubt was probably hungry, but when He spoke the word to him, Satan had to flee.  So when he tries to come against you with his bag of garbage just stand still, don't let him move you or shake you.  You are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ.  Satan is the loser and you are the winner.
