"Finally, be STRONG in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the SCHEMES of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present DARKNESS, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to STAND FIRM."
The devil never rests! Sometimes he allows me to think I should expect certain symptoms of what today's medical society defines as "depression" because some stroke victims are said to battle "depression".
Why do I allow satan to win this battle? Scripture says I am to "be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might"! I am not to allow satan to win any battle! The SCHEMES that he will try to influence my life with, I am to allow NONE of it!
I need to realize that satan wants to prevent me from being the Christian that Paul wrote about in 2 Corinthians 10. Verse 4 of that chapter states "For the weapons of our warfare are NOT OF THE FLESH but have divine power to destroy strongholds."
LORD, protect my mind from satan's attacks! I know he will try to use anything he can to win a victory in my life. I want to be used of YOU and for YOUR glory!
