“The sixth sign that you are under spiritual attack is that old iniquities begin to resurface in your life. What is an iniquity? Some consider iniquities to be those old habits that your soul wants to fall back on when things don’t seem to be going your way—things like smoking, drug abuse, excessive drinking, visiting the bars or clubs, indulging the flesh.”

“When James taught about temptation, he said each of us is tempted when we are drawn away by our own desires. “Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death” (James 1:15).”

“In every failure of my life there have always been two common denominators: a dusty Bible and a broken-down altar.”

“Your church is a place of power. Don’t forsake the place of power. When the enemy tells you ten reasons to stay home, that’s when you should start getting ready to go even faster, knowing that God has a word to strengthen you that you may not hear anywhere else.”

“¿Por qué? La atmósfera es adecuada para que un plátano crezca en Jamaica, pero no es adecuada en Alaska. Hay algo en la atmósfera de un club nocturno—las luces, la música, el baile—que crea un ambiente adecuado para el pecado. La atmósfera crea un clima, y el clima crea una cultura. Si el enemigo puede hacer que entremos en esa cultura, sabe que puede hacer que pequemos.”

“You’ve probably heard the old saying, “You can’t stop a bird from flying over your head, but you don’t have to let it nest in your hair.” You can’t always control what appears before your eyes, but you can control how long you look. You can’t control every thought that comes into your mind, but you can control how long you dwell on that thought.”

“problem is, eggs hatch.”

“want to say something that might sound surprising: the greatest battle for your soul is not the war going on between angels and demons; it is the war going on in between your ears. The battle starts with how you think and the “snake eggs” you allow the enemy to lay in your head. Brutal mass killings in America are tragically becoming more common as of late. These horrific events have stirred major controversies over gun violence and gun laws. I’m not here to enter that debate, but I will tell you that taking all the guns away will not take care of the problem because the “snake eggs” will still exist. The young men who shot up their high school years ago did not suddenly come up with the idea. Neither did the man who shot innocent victims at a movie theater. Like the man who slaughtered innocent children and adults in Connecticut, they had been carrying around those demonically inspired thoughts for weeks, maybe months, perhaps even years—like eggs waiting to hatch. The greatest battle for your soul is not the war going on between angels and demons; it is the war going on in between your ears. It starts with a thought, and that thought is like an egg that Satan puts in your head. I often call these snake eggs “thought bombs.” The”

“The power of God is released when believers choose not to be conformed to the world’s ways but be transformed in their minds, wills, and emotions by God’s Word. Paul said in Romans 1:16 that he wasn’t ashamed of the gospel of Christ because it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.”

“That is why Paul tells us not to be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Rom. 12:2). We have to put off the old self and renew our minds so that we give no foothold to the devil, so that we leave no open doors for the python and his brood of vipers to enter into our lives.”

“God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden with dominion over it to keep it prospering and protected. When Adam discovered that the “old serpent” had been whispering to his wife, he had the authority to kick it out—but he chose not to do so. Instead, Adam chose to rebel against the specific instruction God gave him not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:17). Sin found a way into that garden and enticed Eve through her mind, will, and emotions.”

“Isaiah used words like fallen, cut down, and brought down. In the last verses he describes how shocked people will be when they see Satan in his defeated state—as the small, powerless demon that he is. They will probably need to squint their eyes a little to see him and wonder how he did so much damage. Satan has been defeated, but he still wreaks havoc in the world. Where then does he get his power?”
