Leave Him Alone

Leave Him Alone

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:


Are you tired of the devil attacking you? Are you tired of him messing with your money, your joy, your home, your family, etc? Are you tired of being oppressed, depressed, and repressed by him? Well then, LEAVE HIM ALONE!

So many of us complain about how terrible things are going in our lives and how things seem to never get better, but then we make decisions that are demonic in nature and afterwards, complain about how the devil is attacking us. We must face the reality of it all sooner or later. When you mess with the devil, he will mess with you!

I have people tell me all the time that it seems like their life is torn apart and they can never see the light of day. They seem to pray constantly about things, seek God about things, and read the bible everyday, but it doesn't ever seem to work for them.

"Why is this?" they ask. Well, when you look carefully and closely, you will almost always find a doorway that the devil has in their lives and he keeps walking in and out anytime he pleases. There is usually an addiction (drugs, alcohol, porn, sex, etc.) or there is a sinful person/relationship, or there is an emotional problem / issue that they are battling.

These things, if they are not dealt with, will always be the open door for the devil to have access to your life and everything that you have. You see, if he can get into your stuff, he will always mess it up. So, no matter how far you go, he will always have a way to stop you and bring you back to the starting point. You will never progress with the devil entering in and out of these doorways.

Deal with the problem and the issues in your life, close the door, and then you will grow in Christ and move forward. Get out of the sinful relationship. Stop going out and hanging with people that are tearing you down. Get away from that negative speaking person. Let go of that godless person/place/thing!

End that addiction! Stop abusing that substance! If you are tired of the devil messing with you, then leave him alone!

I pray that the Spirit of God ministers to you mightily as you read and meditate on this devotion in Jesus name.
God richly bless you.
