God is not a bargaining God. You cannot barter with Him. You must do business with Him on His own terms.

Only a strong faith—a faith based on God's Word—will protect us from temptation and doubt.

Are your beliefs anchored in a faith that can withstand emotionalism, the drug culture, social and peer pressure, and material temptations? The world is seething with demonic energy. Only supreme inner strength can resist its ceaseless hassling.

As long as Satan is loose in the world and our hearts are dominated by his evil passions, it will never be easy or popular to be a follower of Christ.

I believe we should pray that God will take possession of our lives totally and completely. We should pray that we will be emptied of self— self-love, self-will, self-ambition—and be placed completely at His disposal.

The devil's overriding goal is to block God's work— and if he can convince you God doesn't really love you, or that you can't fully trust Him, then he has blocked God's work in your life and achieved his goal.

Don't give Satan a foothold, but discipline yourself to stay close to God. He alone is your security.

Don't be deceived by Satan and his lies. Instead, stay close to Christ—because the closer you are to Him, the farther away you are from the devil.

The greatest roadblock to Satan's work is the Christian who, above all else, lives for God, walks with integrity, is filled with the Spirit, and is obedient to God's truth.

The greatest hindrance to Satan's destructive efforts is our standing strong in the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

True freedom consists not in the freedom to sin, but the freedom not to sin.

We constantly pass up the rich and beautiful and ennobling experiences and seek out the tawdry, the cheap, and the degrading. These are the works of the devil, and they flourish on every side!
