People scarcely recognize that there is an evil one nowadays, let alone overcome him! Until you have overcome the evil one, you may not have a lot of mental peace.We dispel the darkness by turning on the light. If you are plagued by tempting thoughts, bring the issue before God and seek to resolve what is keeping you from having perfect fellowship with Him. The devil isn't the primary issue--he is only taking advantage of the fact that your relationship with God is broken. James 4:7 has the right priorities: "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." The primary issue is to submit to God. Satan knows that if he can keep our minds distracted, we won't have much of a prayer life with God. Prayer is the vital link for God's guidance. If we are going to walk with God through the darkness, we must have the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension and guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
