There is an old saying that states. The Lord's votin for me, and the devil's votin against me, but it's my vote that counts! The powers of Satan are like a steady unchanging constant magnet that is set in the center of the things of this world. Sometimes in our life it feels like his power has become stronger.
In reality his power level has not changed. To illustrate my point, Think of the word of God as a long straight Iron rod leading to heaven. When you are on the straight but narrow path holding to the iron rod that leads to heaven; Satan has little influence over you. It is when you let go of the rod to inspect something enticing beside the path, in that moment you feel the magnetic pull. As you wander away from the rod the steeper the slope becomes. You are now working against that magnetic pull and you feel it each day. It only becomes stronger as you continue to frolic and play. Then one day you see something that reminds you of what you held so dear. It is then you look up and find that straight path is not so near. So in despair you think of that little path that seems so far away. But if you will grab hold of that "little book ( the scriptures)" we call the iron rod, you will quickly find your way. For God will plot a new path but you must use his GPS. (God,Prayer,Scriptures) with his GPS in your hand, you are sure to find your way. There is now no cloud of darkness that can stand in your way. For when you obey the commandments, pray and read your scriptures too. You will find that magnetic pull of the evil one will have no hold on you. In doing this you will finally see the pull of the evil one has simply faded away. But you must remember to stay on that long straight path with your GPS in your hand so you will never again lose your way from now until the end.
