Evil Does Not Surrender With Ease#
The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. (Mark 9:26)
Evil never surrenders its grasp without a tremendous fight.
We never arrive at any spiritual inheritance without countless hard yards. It is the fierce conflicts found in the soul's recesses where human spiritual freedom is fought.
Every human capacity that wins its spiritual freedom does so at the cost of blood.
Satan 'runs block' and so our progress is guaranteed to be recorded in tears and blood.
BUT NOTE:
Victory against satan is no pause for pride, otherwise there is no victory at all.
When we are born again it is not unto a soft and protected nursery, but into an open countryside where we meet the distress of ongoing and strange storms.#
We must pass through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22)
