Have you ever gotten into an argument with a family member on the way to church? Every preacher knows the devil will try to attack God's children right before and after church. There is a spiritual principle here we need to learn. It is what I call "the devil after the dove" principle. When Jesus was baptized and a dove descended, right after that He was led into the wilderness and tempted.
When God does something great, or when you get the approval of God about something, you can expect the attack of the enemy. Leonard Ravenhill said, "When God opens the windows of heaven to bless us, the devil is going to open the doors of hell to blast us."
Have you had a wonderful spiritual experience recently? Then, you better not start coasting. If the devil tempted Jesus, be sure he will temp you, as well. Ask God to give you strength to overcome temptation this week.
"Neither give place to the devil."
