What do you do when Satan comes to attack you?
Once again he is after me. After days of being up high and sold out on the mountaintop it is once again time to come down. Passion 2012, to Code Orange Revival, with Awakening mixed in there as well, it’s been a good time on the mountain and surrounded by lots of friend and believers. Now that most of these high points are over for now Satan knew it was his best chance to come after me for awhile and he sure did. Along with a dreary day, chilly weather, and waking up tired he knew it was the perfect chance.
Does this sound familiar to you? Maybe you’ve been doing these conferences/revival along with me and you’re facing this trouble as well with Satan attacking you. What do you do when he comes after you? How do you remain in a spot where he can’t get you while also realizing you can’t just conference hop all the time too?
For me I’ve just come to expect his attacks the day after the big event ends and also on dreary days. Being prepared and expectant is definitely helpful. It doesn’t mean he leaves right away but knowing what to do when he comes, just like knowing First Aid or what to do during a Tornado, is definitely helpful.
So what do you do when Satan comes your way? Is he attacking you too? Check out some of these ideas and see if they can help you. –
- Stay close to God. – Continue reading your Bible, prayer, small group, church services, and other things you’re regularly involved in.
- Remind Satan of who you are in Christ.
- Remember John 10:10 and tell him behind you because you’re God has come to bring you life.
- Recite scripture.
- Talk to a trusted Christian friend for prayer and/or accountability.
- Tell Satan to start running because you’re chasing him down.
- Get plenty of rest, eat right, sleep right, exercise.
