God Disarms satan!!!! Some of us, however, have a hard time inviting God to be with us. We are too busy, we become tired or bored, or we fight against praise that to us seems to be undignified. Do we know why this happens? The devil is always trying to make us unavailable to God or uncomfortable in praise and worship. In other words, satan does all he can to keep Gods power and authority from showing up. He brings distracting thoughts to our mind: Did I remember to turn the iron off? He tries to shame us: Gods not going to accept you after what you did or said last night and yesterday. He makes us ill or gives us pain, whether physical or emotional. He sends interruptions, like a ringing telephone or a crying child in Sunday worship. In all this, the devil is doing whatever he can to keep our mind on other things and off God. Indeed, the telephone may not rinse all day and a child may not cry in worship until the moment we stand before the Lord in praise. Then the telephone rings not once, but three or four times, and the child cannot be hushed. Thats satans doing!! Praise that leads to worship stops all this because when Gods presence comes, the devil must leave. Truly, a praising saint is the devils worst nightmare. This is why perseverance is called for in such times. We must make a conscious choice to ignore whatever distractions satan sends. When this is not possible, we must deal with the interruptions as quickly as possible and return our focus to God. By doing this, we render satan powerless.
