I've come to the realization that in our spiritual life, when we begin to cover new ground, begin to see things established in our lives - the freedom that a new job can bring, a revelation that sets us free from some false premise that we build our lives on and the like, there will be resistance.
This resistance must be confronted with prayer, fasting and intercession. If we resist the devil, submit to God, he will flee. James tells us this. If we sit and do nothing and do not submit to God, then the devil does not have to flee. Evil must be confronted and defeated. God has given us the authority and ability to do it. But we must supply the willingness to follow Him. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard (battle flag) against him.
