Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  DON'T GIVE UP!  If you don't quit, God won't quit. My niece Melanie won a contest which gave her a chance to record a person's music. One of the songs she recorded said,  "Tie a knot in the rope and hang on". It wasn't a gospel song exactly but it states a truth every christian needs to know. Let's face it. We are in a battle for our lives; not just this fleshly life, but for eternal life. We can't just sit back and say I am saved. I'm a child of God and ready to go to heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."  Are we letting the enemy trespass on private property?  When we are saved we are no longer to be controlled by the enemy of our soul (the devil). We become God's. The flesh wars against the spirit and who we yield to makes the difference in our victory or defeat. Being free agents, we choose. Through Christ, we stand firm.
