When You’re Under Attack (Part Four)

If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! Proverbs 24:10

For the last few days, we have talked about how to handle Satan’s attacks when they come. So, if you’re under attack today, do these:

1) Be tough. Life is a collection of battles, which means it can also be a collection of victories. ‘Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world’ (1 John 4:4). Reach within and draw on God’s strength. Go ahead; He longs to show you what He can do for you. ‘For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me’ (Hebrews 13:5-6). Did you get that? ‘He hath said…so that we may boldly say’! There is power in His Word when you speak it, believe it, and act on it.

2) Depend on God’s wisdom. Jesus said, ‘Don’t worry…about how to answer the charges against you, for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply’ (Luke 21:14-15). God has given you two things that always work: your mouth and His wisdom. When unexpected things arise, the Holy Spirit within you will rise to the occasion and speak through you, so start depending on Him.

3) Trust God to stop the attack. The Bible says, ‘He causes wars to end throughout the earth’ (Psalm 46:9). God is in control, He is bigger than whatever you’re dealing with, and you’re on His mind this very moment. Your tears, your fears, and your pain have been noticed by Him – and He will move on your behalf.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me always remember You are my helper and You will never let me down. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
