Do not let yourself be deceived.

"...Do not deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans will surely stay away from us - for they will not stay away." Jeremiah 37:9

Replace the word, Chaldeans, with the words, devil and his army; now, re-read the the verse.  Friends, never let yourself think that you've become righteous enough to be free of Satan - the moment you do, you immediately begin to weaken, making you vulnerable to, and appealing, to him.  For instance, being selfish; not spending quality, one-on-one, time with God; not helping those in need; or having an egotistical attitude, are just a few of the ways we begin to weaken in faith, which leads us right into the chains of the devil. 

So, make a point, on a daily basis, to ask yourself if you fall into these categories, and if you do, get down on your knees, repent, and begin to make right your wrongs!  Remember, you are never, in yourself, above the devil, but, with God, you are equipped with His power, which can destroy the devil, and his army, without missing beat of the good plan that God has for your life.
