When satan comes knocking..

Ephesians 6:14
When Satan comes against your mind with wrong thoughts, you don’t have to concede defeat. Use these practical actions to confront loose thoughts by securing them with the belt of truth.

In every story book that you'll find, there will always be -according to the contextual storyline- a 'good' person and a 'bad' person.. In the eyes of the law, there is right and wrong.. And thats why law exists in the first place-to set apart right from wrong..And so it's the same as in life.. and more focusing on our christian walk.. There are two roads in which we can choose to follow.. But why not just one? Because God wants us to choose which path to take in life and thats just proves His sovereignty and grace.. He didnt created us to become puppets who has no choice but to follow his master's bidding but God.. He created mankind with a choice over our faith.. But even so.. There is someone who exists in our lives, and he is the 'bad person'-Satan.. He is the cause behind what's keeping us apart from God..And the only solution to resist his temptations and prevent our relationship with God from being affected is through prayer..
