Jesus wins!

The devil is a punk! Satan is real. His name means adversary. Devil means
false accuser or slanderer. He is a tempter (1 Thes 3:5), an accuser of the
brethren (Rev 12:10), the ruler of this world (John 12:31), the god of this
age (2 Cor 4:4), and the prince of the power of the air (Eph 2:2). Satan
has as many different tactics to fight his enemies, US, as there are sins
that we all battle. For me, he attacks with fear, doubt and loneliness.
Satan's purpose is to take as many people to hell with him as he can. Jesus
talked more about the reality of hell than anyone else in the scriptures.
There are many people that do not feel or experience spiritual attacks.
There are many different reasons that may happen, and the primary reason I
see, is that they are not in the battle. Charles Spurgeon wrote, "If you
are idle in Christ work, you are active in the devil's work". And, "You
have never truly found Jesus if you do not tell others about Him". There
are many times that the enemy wants to distract, deter and devour the
brethren. There are many times that he reminds us of our past, and whenever
he does, we need to remind him of his future. *Rev 20:10 And the devil who
had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and burning brimstone
(sulfur), where the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet are also; and they
will be tormented day and night, forever and ever.* My dear brethren, we
must remember, we are fighting from victory and NOT for victory. I read the
end of the book, Jesus wins!
