When anyone acts in accordance with the devil, they become of a “devilish quality,” (John 6:70). When Christians are enticed by the devil, they are pulled away from God by honors, profits, pleasures, or whatever other things the devil uses to hinder their profiting by the Word, (Luke 8:12). These wicked spirits have such a heinous effect on the world, that the same condemnation that will befall them, will befall those who follow them. The proud fall into the condemnation of the devil, that is, by means of pride and high mindedness they too will be cast into hell fire, in the same manner as the devil will be. In consideration of such vile and wicked practices following the devil and his practices, Gifford directs the reader to resist such assaults and submit before God with the weapon of steadfast faith. His text is a famous one, “Be sober and watch: for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith,” (1 Peter 5:8-9). Gifford expounds on how the Apostle Peter, 1) begins with an admonition or exhortation by which he stirs up all the faithful to sobriety and watchfulness with these words, “Be sober and watch,” 2) why it is important to move all men into this position of sobriety and watchfulness, seeing they have such a terrible and cruel adversary who continually seeks their eternal misery and destruction, “For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” And, 3) teaching how Christians shall withstand him, overcome him, and put him to flight, that so they may escape from his cruel tyranny, “Whom resist steadfast in the faith.” This is an exceedingly helpful work, that will arm the Christian in due manner to fight steadfastly in the power of Jesus Christ through his Spirit against the works and wiles of the devil. And Gifford will not only show how to do this, but how to do it effectively, with victory, through true Christian faith empowered by God’s Christ.
“A triumph. This novel’s haunting strength will hold the reader until the very end and make Faith and her story impossible to forget.” —Richmond Times Dispatch “Extraordinary.” —Orlando Sentinel From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult (Nineteen Minutes, Change of Heart, Handle with Care) comes Keeping Faith: an “addictively readable” (Entertainment Weekly) novel that “makes you wonder about God. And that is a rare moment, indeed, in modern fiction” (USA Today).
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith." Life is a battlefield. The foe we face is not flesh and blood, but Satan himself, the spiritual arch-enemy of God and man. He has had six thousand years of practice is taking souls captive, and now he is stalking you. Thank God, the devil is a defeated foe. Christ conquered him at Calvary, and has paved the way for every Christian to be an overcomer as well. The Scriptures are full of warning, exhortation, and encouragement for the soldier of the Lord. In this book, a veteran of many battles offers you insight and inspiration to "Put on the whole armour of God," and learn how to resist the devil.
Some Christians believe strongly in the existence of demons and spiritual warfare. Others downplay or even ignore the idea. With such divergent views, how are Christians supposed to know the truth about demonic forces at work in this world? The Invisible War examines what every believer needs to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare, offering a balanced look at this controversial subject. This provocative book will help Christians understand what the Bible says about these threats and will show them how they can safeguard themselves and their families through prayer. Now repackaged for a new generation, The Invisible War offers a balanced look at what is going on in the spiritual realm and what believers can do to defend themselves.
The man who would have victory in the Christian life must do something about Satan. In the event that he is permitted to work unnoticed, his proposals are sufficiently great to control the life of any Christian. Victory through Christ is "not automatic." The indwelling nearness of Jesus Christ does not dispose of the presence of Satan. You challenge! "Isn't Satan a defeated foe?" Yes, but he is as yet an enemy. He was defeated by the Lord Jesus Christ. That thrashing has nothing to do with us...UNTIL WE RESIST HIM. Except if we make unmistakable move against the fallen angel, he isn't defeated to the extent that we are concerned. He is the exact inverse, a forceful enemy who triumphs over us every day. It is the point at which we move to "RESIST" him in Jesus' Name, that he flees. Not until that point.
Speaking to Prophet Jeremiah, God said, "Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth. See I have this day set you over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant" (Jer. 1:9-10). God has authorized us to decree a thing, and it shall be established. You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. We have been authorized and empowered to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall be any means hurt us. It is our responsibility, and not God's, to pull down the strongholds that the enemy has set. This is why the Word says, "Give no place to the devil" (Eph. 4:27); "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (Jas 4:7); "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith" (1 Pet. 5:8-9).
