It’s Day 20 of the 21-Day Mental and Spiritual Health Series!

***

It’s almost the end of the series! Only one day left!

Today, I want to review the tactics that the Enemy will use to come against our mental health and stability.

As we continue along the path of mental and spiritual growth, we will face opposition. It is vital that we understand that we will be facing a battle, but also that our God is greater than any challenge we will ever face.

The Enemy’s plan is to do all that he can to steal, kill, and destroy. He will try to use our own thoughts against us, and he will also try to use others against us. We must realize that we are fighting a spiritual battle in these cases.

The spiritual realm is the ultimate battleground- but people can become collateral damage. We have a fair amount of control over our thoughts (as we’ve discussed previously), but we have much less control when the enemy uses others to hurt us. In those cases, we must trust in God for guidance and pray for others.

The Enemy is very real, and we must be aware of his tactics and how to defeat them.

Scriptures for Today’s Post

James 4:7 (ESV)- Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Luke 10:19 (ESV)- Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

Romans 12:21 (ESV)- Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your love, your faithfulness, and your guidance! I pray that my life will bring glory to you! I decree and declare that any and all plans of the enemy to affect or influence my life will be canceled! I stand in great strength and hope because the Lord has already won my battles. I stand in victory!

In Jesus mighty name I pray,

AMEN
