5.  The Devil Cannot Escape His Fate in Revelation 20:10

6.  The Devil Cannot Get Saved
    -Salvation is for the "seed of Abraham" those in a flesh and blood body.  You have to choose salvation before you die.  Spirits without bodies cannot get saved and the devil is a spirit.

11.  The Devil Cannot Violate Your Free Will
    -Neither God nor Satan can make you do anything.

12.  The Devil Cannot Possess What You Don't Yeild
    -He can't gain access to your life unless you yield it.  When you obey God, live by His word, and resist the devil, he MUST flee.

13.  The Devil Cannot Stay Where He isn't Welcome
    -He may trespass from time to time but he cant dump the kingdom of darkness' trash on you anymore.  

14.  The Devil Cannot Trespass Unless You Let Him
    -You must repel Satan's attacks.

15.  The Devil Cannot Hide From the Word of God Within You
    -When you have the Word of God within you, you are not easily misled by the devil's schemes, even if he disguises himself as an angel of light.  Not everything that happens is God's Will.  You need to know His Word so you can discern.

16.  The Devil Cannot Get You to Blame God When You Know the Word
    -He wants you to be mad at God.  Anything that destroys, kills, or steals is from the devil.

17.  The Devil Cannot Separate You From the Love of God
    -You cannot even separate yourself from it, even the worst of sinners.

18.  The Devil Cannot Bless You
    -He can only give you curses of bondage, destruction, pain, and decay.

19.  The Devil Cannot Keep You Depressed
    -God offers the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
    -Thanksgiving magnifies our perception of God and minimizes our problems.

20.  The Devil Cannot Condemn You Unless You Let Him
    -The devil, "accuser of brethren" is forever throwing condemnation in the face of believers.  He wants us to lay down our righteousness and give in to despair and defeat.  However, Jesus justified us so there is no condemnation.

21.  The Devil Cannot Take You to Hell If You Don't Want to Go
    -If you accept Christ you become a citizen of heaven.

7 Step Prayer Process

-
       Perhaps the day gets away from you and you forget to pray.  Rather than going to bed without praying because you don't have the will or the energy to pray for 10 minutes, you can shorten the experience.  Take just one minute. Yes, one sinlge minute.  You can still go through each of the 7 steps, but just speak one line to God about one thing in each step. 1. Gratitude     - Begin by thinking of a personal dialogue for whatever you are most grateful for today. 2. Awareness     -Revisit the times in the past 24 hours that you were and were not the best version of yourself.  Talk to God about these situations and what you learned from them. 3. Significant Moments     -Identify something you experienced today and explore what God might be trying to say to you through that event (or person). 4. Peace     -Ask God to forgive you for any wrong you have committed (against yourself, another person, or Him) and to fill you with a deep and abiding peace. 5. Freedom     -Speak with God

Judging Others is a Sin

-
     "Whenever I judge another believer, four things instantly happen: I lose fellowship with God, I expose my own pride and insecurity, I set myself up to be judged by God, and I harm my fellowship with the Church.  A critical spirit is a costly vice.  The Bible calls Satan ' the accuser of our brothers '.  It's the Devil's job to blame, complain, and criticize members of God's family.  Anytime we do the same, we are being duped into doing Satan's work for him.  Remember, other Christians, no matter how much you disagree with them, are not the real enemy.  Any time we spend comparing or criticizing other belieivers is time that should have been spent building the unity of our fellowship.  The Bible says, ' Let's agree to use all our energy in getting along with each other.  Help others with encouraging words; don't drag them down by finding fault.

Experiencing Jesus

-
      Jesus intends for you to experience the pleasure and reassuring peace of His presence at the core of your life.  He wants to be more than just another volume in your encyclopedia of biblical facts.  He didn't die for you to simply strike a deal guaranteeing heaven.  He died for you to make you His own and to grant you the unspeakable privilege of growing intamacy with Him. Paul wrote to the early followers of Jesus, "He (God) is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ." Corinthians1:9     -It's not some tedious morning routine, it's truly getting to know Jesus.     -I t's about feeling His nearness on the journey.     -It's about unshakable confidence that only His presence can give.     -It's about having courage in the face of previously intimidating encounters.     -It's about access to wisdom and unfailing guidance.     -It's about a closeness that enables your spirit to commune with Him, anyw
