Ephesians 6:11
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may
be able to stand the whiles of the devil"
Satan and his demons are occupied with many schemes, but one of their most effective is to hinder God's people when they pray. Believers often experience demonic interference in times of intercession. John Dorsey described the devil's tactics and the believers defense in this way: "I had a battle fierce today within my place of prayer; I went to meet and talk with God, but I found Satan there. He whispered, 'You can't really pray, you lost out long ago; you might say words while on your knees, but you can't pray, you know.' So then I pulled my helmet down, way down upon my ears, and found it helped to still his voice and helped calm my fears. I checked my other armor; my feet in peace were shod, my loins with truth were girded 'round; my sword the Word of God. My righteous breastplate still was on, my heart's love to protect. My shield of faith was all intact and made his fiery darts bounce back. I called on God in Jesus name, I plead the precious blood while Satan sneaked away in shame, I met and talked with God!"
There are few Christians who have not experienced such attacks during times of earnest prayer. But as we put on the "whole armor of God" we will be ready to "stand" when we are attacked by the enemy of our souls. Stand ready to battle Satan at any time; but remember, Satan can wall you around, but he cannot roof you in!
