Don't give up- Satan doesn't give up.
Stand through the test. The truth be told some our struggles are nothing compared to the struggles of the some of the men or women in the bible. Look at Joseph, Job's and Paul's life. The emotional, spiritual and physical suffering they endured. Yet they still chose to serve The Lord.
These days I see a lot of quitting in Christianity. It gets hard for all of us because as we step out into a new level (in Christ) there will be a new devil. Challenges come and Go. And satan only has the power we give him over our life. Yes we all get tempted. But temptation isn't a sin. It's the "doing" part of is that is a the sin. But in order for us to know what sins we are doing and where satan still has a hold in our lives we need to pray.
Prayer is very important. In order for is to stand and resist the Devil we need to remain prayerful. (James4:7) It's very easy for us to fall and quit if we don't live a prayerful life.
The worse part is that sometimes we are blinded to the fact that we have become slaves to the devil. Just because you go to church every service and listen to a gospel song now and again does not mean that the Holy Spirit is living in you.
There comes a point where we have to question ourselves. Even though we sing "I surrender all" or "I give myself away" how much of our lives to we really sacrifice to our creator. Our Lord God Almighty. Our father. I'm one day, how much of the 24 hours to we spend with the God that we claim to love?
When you love someone, you want to spend more time with them right? So let us wake up and stop being ignorant to the fact that Satan is doing all he can to stop us from getting to the place God wants us to be.
Pray, Seek God and Don't Quit!
