Resist the devil and he shall FLEE frtom you(jam4.7). So how does the devil come to trouble and torment you?Do you have to see him before you resist him?No no no he comes on the wing of THOUGHTS,SUGGESTIONS,IDEAS and IMAGINATIONS that trouble you,weary you and depresses you. God never torments or confuse men because HE IS THE AUTHOR OF PEACE(1cor14.33,eph2.17).

Satan troubles you through your mind/thinking therefore your mind must be heavily renewed or GOVERNED by God's word so that you can discern his tricks when he whispers discouragement to your mind(Rom12.2,matt4.1-11).Like I said Jesus already destroyed satan and his hold to rule you but you must know it and exercise your Christ given authority on him averytime he rears up his ugly head telling him to stop his attack and leave you in JESUS NAME.

Do this authoritatively when harassed in your mind(see col2.15,heb2.15,Lk10
19,mk16.17,jam4.7).He goes about to kill,steal and destroy BUT YOU HAVE AUTHORITY and POWER TO STOP him cheaply(Lk10.19,matt18.18,phil4.13).Yes,you heard me well YOU CAN STOP HIM CHEAPLY if you have loaded God's word into your heart(ps8.2,Lk21.15).Apostle Paul by the Spirit said that he was not ignorant of satan's devices because that will be an advantage to satan and disadvantage to him(2cor2.11).So understand that satan fights and attacks PRIMARILY through your mind and if you stop him here you incapacitate and frustrate him(2cor4.4,11.3).

So feed on sound teachings of THE FINISHED WORKS OF CHRIST and never leave the door open to him through disobedience,unforgiveness,bitterness,stingyness,Prayerlesness and strife (eph4.27,jam3.16).A word is enouhh for the wise (prov13.13,18).Stay with faith- filled friends,groups and churches TO STAY FIRED UP 24/7(Prov27.17).We are formatted in Christ finished works to rule and win ALWAYS over all the adversaries of the cross(pls see ps110.1-2 ,1cor15.57,2cor2.14).

YOU HAVE OVERCOME ALL FORCES ALREADY because the Christ in you defeated them already and forever FOR YOU and I(heb2.14-15,9.12,1jn4.4).You are lifted with Christ in Christ and all enemies and negative situations/curses ARE FOREVER UNDER YOUR FEET,so march on them and rule them always(ps110.1-2,eph1.20-22,Lk10.19, Rom16.20).

Discouraging and fearful thoughts are Satan's whispering in your mind therefore knock them down with relevant scriptures ardently and continually because Satan does not give up easily(matt4.1_12,1pet5.8_9,2cor10.3_5).

You have a Christ given authority to stop Satan and his operations against your mind SO USE IT and satanic forces shall FLEE from YOU(Lk10.19, mk16.17,phil2.9_11).God is not going to do anything about the devil for you again because Jesus already defeated him and gave you authority in His name to stop him anytime he shows up with lies,fearful t thoughts,imaginations and sickness symptoms on your body(col2.15,mk16.17,Lk10.19).

Resist the devil and he shall certainly FLEE from you.YOU is the understood subject here(jam4v 7,eph4.27,matt18.18).Fear of evil and the devil is from the devil and never from God because God has not given you the spirit of fear(so fear is a spirit, an evil one)2tim1.7.When fearful and discouraging thoughts come just say "you contrary spirits and contrary thoughts I command you to leave me alone IN JESUS NAME"then quote the relevant scriptures against it tenaciously(matt 4.1_11).

This end time you have to pay serious attention to your mental health in keeping God's word in your mind by WORD-speaking in other to live and stay at peace(isa26.3,2chr32..Satan visits to oppress you PRIMARILY THROUGH YOUR MIND/reasoning so guard your thoughts very very well weighing the thoughts against God's word(2cor11.3,2cor 10.3_5).

All these contrary thoughts of what are you going to do if so so thing happens is a demonic cloud that will only leave WHEN YOU COMMAND IT TO LEAVE(isa60.1_2,jam4.7).They are darts or arrows of the enemy to weary you with hostile suggestions(job19.2,eze7.25).So soak in the word,read,study n meditate on God's word ,listen attentively to your pastor and other ministers' teachings to be readily prepared WHEN satan (not if)strikes on daily basis with arrows of tge day and terrors of the night which are tormenting thoughts(ps91.5matt4.1_11).

If you are lazy am sorry there is no hope for you(prov13.13,18). You cannot afford to be lazy this endtime or you will feel sorry for yourself.It takes GROSS-LIGHT(revelation knowledge/insight)to deal with gross darkness(severe mental depression )-isa60.1-3.So allow God to set you under His chosen pastor and remember that no minister is perfect JUST AS YOU ARE NOT PERFECT EITHER(Ps130.3-4,Rom14.4).

Lastly like I said sometime ago if your pastor isnt WORTH DYING FOR then dont sit under him,go look for the one you respect and can die for so GOD'S OIL ON HIM CAN FLOW DOWN ON YOU TO BLESS YOU(Rom16.3-4,Acts4.34-37,heb7.7,ps 113.1-3,).When you find him/her you are commanded to esteem them VERY HIGHLY(1thes5.12-13,heb13.17).
