Then the Devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. Matthew 4:11

If you’ve ever seen a boxing match you know after so many minutes of fighting in the ring, there is a brief break in the fight and the boxers go to their respective corner to get treated for injuries, given water to rehydrate and advice for their next round. As a boxer, I’m sure they are glad when that bell rings so they can have a moment to recover from the fight.

As Christians we too are in a fight against Satan’s temptations and distractions. He oftentimes uses conflict and difficulty to throw us a left hook. After a few good punches, that child of God needs some relief. Thankfully, we don’t have to fight the battle on our own and we can step over into the corner to pray for relief, wisdom and strength.

If you are a child of the King, you are fighting a fierce battle. Satan’s goal is to keep His children down for the count. Don’t let him get away with it. Stand up with the help of Jesus Christ, bind Satan in Jesus name and reference scripture to push back the evil influences from your enemy. Jesus was successful at fighting back against satan in the proceeding verses of Matthew 4 when tempted. And never leave the corner of prayer too long. It’s a refreshing place to be in this battle of righteousness! God bless!
