My enemy is extremely insistent. He never gives up trying to seduce people. He does know their vulnerabilities in the area of everyone's three lusts: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. These lusts came into being in the soul of people when Adam and Eve gave in to the first seduction to sin by Satan. When I was tempted, I resisted every temptation with the Word of God. I did not have any lusts, but I knew that the devil was trying to create those lusts in Me.
When Satan comes knocking on the door of one of your lusts, I want you to close the door by speaking My Word out loud just as I did during My temptation in the wilderness. When My enemy knocks on the door of the lust of your flesh (satisfying your five senses in a addictive way), I want you to say, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word of God'."
When seducing spirits knock on the door of the lust of the eye (greedy longings, covetousness, and vain imaginations such as pornography), I want you to say out loud, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord and Him only shall you serve.'" When Satan knocks on the door of the lust of the pride of life, I want you to say out loud, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God" This is how you resist the devil.
