*Listen, My children, to the Words that I speak through my servants the prophets. You have been mislead by preachings and teachings that are not of me! I have given you the power over all of the enemy, his principalties, and his powers, yet I hear My people continuely crying out "I'm under attack". Awake, says the Lord, to the power and dominion that I have given you. I have given you everything you need. If you think you are defeated... you are! If you think you are victorious... you are! For as a man thinks... so is he! As long as you are submitted to Me, satan can do nothing to you unless I allow him to. For I, the Lord, your God, am in total control of the devil. Yes, I do allow him in your life to sift you at times, just as I have allowed him to sift my servants "Simon" and "Job", to name two. Just as a man sifts the sands for gold and shakes the pan up, down, back, and forth, the valueless sand comes out while the gold nuggets remain and are seen, I shall at times allow satan to shake you up, down, back, and forth and the valueless deposits that are in you will come out and the things that are of Me shall remain to be seen. Always remember my children, satan can do nothing to you without permission from Me!
