Know the devices of the enemy and respond as,
Luke 4:8

Daniel 6:22
Daniel: "My God sent His angel, and He shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in His sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.”
Daniel 3:25
He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like the Son of the God.”
When you walk with Jesus, you can go through the fire, but it won't touch you. It won't consume, you won't burn. You won't even smell a smoke, you won't smell the residue of smoke on you when Jesus is with you.
But you've got to have that undeniable, reliable attitude. When you are putting your trust in God, you can't be shaky with it, you can't waver with it, you have to be sure you got to know that to know that you know.
We have to believe that God is bigger than Satan, bigger than Satan's shots, his tactics, his devices, you have to know that.
We have to understand that God is greater than whatever it is that we're going through sickness, disease, infirmity, God is still greater.
The pandemic, God is still greater, struggles in life, pink notices on your job, a loved one abandoning us, God is still greater than those situations. We have to rely on and trust that God's going to see us through. We have to remember even when the enemy continues to hit us.

Time mark 10:31
Weak Spots: If we are aware of the areas of our struggles, and we rely on God's strength in those areas, eventually, they will not be targeted areas anymore. The only reason why we are revisited is because Satan has success there.
If Satan knows that you are a person that you are ready to put up fists, he knows that right? What is he gonna try to do, to always try to get somebody to come up in your face to come up and battle up against you, right?
You got a battle with your weight, trying to stay healthy, you fast and you pray, you exercise, you try to eat the right things. Then what's the enemy trying to do?
Somebody brings you that chocolate fudge cake, and you know you're not supposed to have it, right? The enemy is always going to come where he sees those weak spots, but,
1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world!
2 Corinthians 12:02
I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake, for when I am weak, then I Am is strong!
Time mark: 12:41
When the enemy revisits you in a situation, or he revisits you and one of your weaknesses, it's because he knows he has success in that area. You got to rebuke the enemy. You have to let him know,
"No! This area of my life, you're not going to keep challenging me, because I'm gonna give it unto the Lord."
"Lord, you help me! You map out how I need to go about handling this situation. Show me what I need to do."
No longer am I going to just rely on me. Call on the name of the Lord. He is a very present help in trouble.
No situation is too small, no situation is too great. Just call on Him when you need Him, call on Him, and He will fight your battles!
We need to believe that God is bigger than those areas of our lives. The truth is God is greater than any weakness that we may have!
Time mark: 14:19
You've got to fill yourself with the Word of God.
Jesus was so filled with the Word of God sitting and listening to the voice of God, studying the Word of God.
That's why when He was tempted, He said,
"No, I don't live by bread alone. I live by the Word of God."
My spirit has got to be fed. We're not able to come back on our own when the enemy tries to present himself to us, if we're empty and we don't have the Word of God. If we don't study that Word of God and get it on the inside.
