Satan attacks in different ways. His most potent weapon is discouragement. He knows that by putting you down he can discourage you. He does this by giving you negative thoughts about you. If you are not alert then you will believe these thoughts and become discouraged. He will stop you from doing things that at one time you were enthusiastic about. Stay fixed on Jesus. He is the author and Finisher of your faith. He is the One who will accomplish all things for you. He said on the Cross, ‘It is finished’. Satan does not like to hear this although he knows he is finished. We must hold on to this truth and not be distracted by temporary setbacks. In these times it is best to remain in the spirit rather than walk in the flesh. In the spirit, you will remain steady and not be discouraged. When you look around you there are enough things to discourage you. You must remain fixed in Him. He will make you strong during times of weakness. In the spirit, the devil cannot win for he will be reminded of his end. In the flesh, the devil will be victorious for he knows how to attack you. Be strong and very courageous for you are a victor and not a victim.
