  2. 1 Peter 5:8-9,  John 8:44 We must understand that the devil will fight us and throw many   things at us to try and stop us from fulfilling Gods plan for us here in this world.
    1. Gal 5:7-8 One of the main reasons the devil will fight us is because he wants the least amount of people as possible to go to heaven, so he will try to stop you from discovering your purpose and attempt to keep you from leading other people to Jesus.
      1. Matt 19:26  The good news is that through the power of the Holy Spirit, God has provided us a way to conquer the devil and overcome every tactic of the devil to keep us from fulfilling Gods purposes and plans for our lives!
      2. 1 Samuel 15:22 The way we conquer the devil is through total repentance, shutting the door on the devil, complete submission to Gods will, reading the bible, praying, and remaining active in the church, cell groups, in evangelism, and in leadership!
    2. 1 Cor 15:57  When we live within Gods will and choose to use our talents and giftings to lead others to Jesus and fulfill Gods plan, then we will conquer everything the devil will throw at us and we will be victorious! #Borntoconquer!
