When Satan Gets a Foothold—Part 2
This is Part 2 in a series on dealing with footholds.
You don't have to go through a checklist every time you experience a spiritual foothold. Often, a simpler process works faster and better; especially once you've become more experienced.
Here's the basic Scripture you need to memorize and use. I've divided it into three parts.
Be sure to memorize the Scripture.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
"As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
{Philippians 4:6-9 NASB}
Notice the order:
- Don't be anxious.
- Pray, with thanksgiving.
- More praise and thanksgiving.
- Use Scripture.
Instructions:
- Turn the Scripture into a prayer. Personalize it.
- Recite the Scripture, in portions, as you pray.
- Do what the Scripture says, in the order presented.
- Use your intuition and experience.
Don't forget to claim and believe scriptural promises, both those contained in this Scripture and others you may use.
Recite Scripture out loud and claim scriptural promises out loud. It's more effective that way.
This can be done anywhere, anytime.
Sometimes this will work when the checklist does not.
It's never fun when you come under a spiritual attack. However, if you follow the instructions given, as well as other information provided on this website, you will usually find that you have the help that you need.
An even simpler, abbreviated process, is contained in the final section in the series. A link is below.
