       Number three: The Holy Spirit helps us resist the devil. So, this area of discussion definitely relates to the last one, that of the fact that the Holy Spirit enables us to resist the devil when the occasion arises. And I would tend to think and say that this occurs quite often, a situation where we need to resist a temptation or an attack from the enemy. Truly, Satan is constantly launching warfare on us, trying to get us to get off track. He knows, and we know too, that it only takes the first wrong step, and when uncorrected, that first wrong step will lead to a series of wrong steps, which gets us off track, and then into a downward spiral. It just takes failure, or believing a lie, when he first attacks us or tempts us. That’s why it’s so important to resist the devil right at the beginning. For when we resist him right away, he will flee and there is no further danger, at least in this situation, of us going down the wrong path.
