When you stand against the enemy, you tell him and his entourage that he isn't welcome. He has no authority. He has no place. The beauty is that he HAS to flee. He HAS to retreat. He HAS to submit to the authoritative name of Jesus.

But he doesn't go without a few cheap shots. The kind that make you question yourself deeply. Your mission deeply. Your qualifications deeply.

But rest in the truth of God's will and His character. Not the wayward, inconsistent, broken self. God is consistent. We are not. We never are. Therefore when your thoughts haunt you after intense ministry. Ask The Holy Spirit to intercede on your behalf. Jesus is the only truth we have. And we are fortunate to have Him every and any moment we call. Rest well young warriors. The battle is worthy. The King is pleased.
