Joel 1v4-6

The devil, an old wise serpent prowling around seeking whom to devour, is surely out to get us if we allow him to. Being so old, he certainly knows this and has many a trick up his sleeve, and it is no wonder that he manages to out-fox (outsmart) millions of people. I see this wise old devil in disguise as a locust. He chews on you then swarms around you, crawls all over you and finally consumes you. He just won't stop. So wake up and understand what is going on in your situation. Do not take it lightly.

When a problem or an apparently insignificant matter arises, please nip it in the bud immediately and prayerfully because it might persist and deepen until something or someone gets consumed. Fight the enemy before he ruins everything. Whether your enemy is carelessness or impatience or outbursts of anger; it does not matter what the name of your enemy is, for the name of Jesus remains above any other name. Your enemy will bow out of your life whenever you call upon the name of Jesus consistently.

The enemy is strong. Your problems are strong. Beware and be vigilant. Put on the full armour of God for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities and wickedness in high places. However, fear not for the Lord is your strength, and with God all things are possible! So, with God you can defeat the problems in your life. . . yes you can defeat each and every last one of them. Someone said today, "God does not necessarily come when you want Him to come, but He will always come and He always comes in time."
