II Corinthians 10:5 tells us that there is a battle going on and it is closer than we think. Your very thoughts, the things that you know or need to know, even your dreams and imaginations are the target of this assault! The one waging this war is called the "god of this world" we also know him as Satan. His objective is to steal, kill, and destroy every thing that he can. He has an arsenal of lies and legions of demon's to assist him.
     Least we despair, let us remember that we are a part of a mighty army with our conquering King Jesus as the captain of the host! When the devil came to tempt Him in the wilderness. The enemy hurled accusations and evil influences like fiery darts looking for a target. The devil tried to get Jesus to think about himself, his reputation, and his future. Does that sound familiar? Have you ever been tempted to think those kind of thoughts? Don't worry you are in good company. We are all tempted. How we respond to temptation is what matters. Jesus refused to get in to a debate with the devil. He let God's word work for him! "It is written" was like the sound of the trigger going back on a mighty weapon. The devil knew that what followed was going to hurt and hurt it did! When you feel like your thoughts, dreams, plans are under attack. Remember that there is a "It is written" for everything you are going through. Read Luke Chapter 4 today and rejoice because God's word works!
