Do we believe that the persisting issues in our lives can be dealt with by God? Temptations always come in so that we will seek for an answer outside of God's will and it may cause us to turn to other sources. When the enemy captivates our hearts in a particular area all we can see is ourselves and the situation, and then the enemy begins to isolate us. There comes a time in the midst of this darkness that we have to rise up against the devil and stand upon the written word of God. Jesus will come into these places of captivity and He will go after these areas to bring light and deliverance. It doesn't matter the state of darkness, Jesus the Light of the world always shines brighter.
