\u201cThe just shall live by faith.\u201d \u00a0Ro 1:17<\/em><\/p>\n God wants you to move from a survival mentality to a position of ruling and reigning; from just getting by, to really believing Him \u201cto do exceedingly abundantly above all that [you] ask or think.\u201d (Eph 3:20 NKJV) You\u2019re not told to\u00a0cope<\/em> with the Devil, you\u2019re told to\u00a0resist<\/em> him and he will flee from you (See Jas 4:7). The Greek word forflee<\/em> means \u201cto run in terror.\u201d Picture yourself waking up in the morning and the Devil screaming in panic, \u201cHelp, she\u2019s up again!\u201d Paul writes: \u201c[Don\u2019t] give place to the devil.\u201d (Eph 4:27 NKJV) Satan has no place in your life unless you give it to him! His goal is to separate you from your faith, because faith is what pleases God (See Heb 11:6). Faith makes you an overcomer (See 1Jn 5:4). Faith brings answers to your prayers. \u201cWhen you pray\u2026believe that you receive\u2026and you will have them.\u201d (Mk 11:24 NKJV) If you really believe that, you\u2019ll act on it. The Bible says: \u201cFight the good fight of faith.\u201d (1Ti 6:12) That means there are enemies of our faith. And one of faith\u2019s biggest enemies is your ignorance of God\u2019s Word. \u201cMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.\u201d (Hos 4:6) Medical science teaches that you can be exposed to a disease and not get it because you\u2019ve been inoculated against it. Likewise, being focused on religion can inoculate you against real faith. Negative people can do that too. You say, \u201cHow can I strengthen my faith?\u201d The Bible says, \u201cFaith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.\u201d (Ro 10:17 NKJV) So live in God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n
