Be Watchful
Only by consistently remaining in the position of watching can we discern the tricks of the devil. The author emphasizes the importance of vigilance against the devil’s tactics, stating, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
The devil employs tricks and deception rather than raw power, with the author noting, “We are dealing with a being who is an embodiment of tricks.” Despite the devil’s attempts to deceive and accuse, the author urges you to maintain your faith, asserting, “Your faith will translate you from the kingdom of sickness into that of divine health.”
Therefore, the key to overcoming the devil’s schemes lies in unwavering faith, as the author notes, “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
