Luke 22:31 (KJV) And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:Luk 22:32 “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
1Ki 19:4b… And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
Satan has always fought tooth and nail to make Christians lose the battle by demoralizing them after every successful conquest. A good example in the Bible is the case of Elijah having killed the Prophets of Baal. Jezebel sent a message to him that got Elijah so discouraged to the point of wishing for death. It is no different today for the saints. We will be put down and sidelined until we reach the point Elijah reached -feeling worthless and almost to the point of giving up.
The good news is he was defeated at Calvary and the strongest of his agents cannot defeat the weakest believer . He never should even attempt to put you down. The weapons of our warfare strong and mighty pulling down strongholds. When he works double time because that is what he does to beat the christian, the secret is take the offense on your knees overtime.
The more you spend time in prayers the closer to God you become and the stronger you become. On the other hand, the devil becomes more weaker and hence gets into more troubled . Turn the heat on the devil by not changing the lane and the speed of prayers ; In fact , accelerate even more in the prayer lane.
