You may never have had a dream of fighting the devil like Josh Hamilton did. But if you're a Christian, chances are you've felt attacked by the enemy at some point. Sometimes his attacks are clear and obvious and sometimes they are subtle.
What are we supposed to do when Satan attacks us? Not if he attacks, but when. The Bible tells us in James 4:7: "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Notice that we are to submit to God first. Then we are to resist the devil. If we try to resist the devil in our own strength we will fail. But if we give the situation to God and acknowledge that we need His help, His power will help us stand firm and resist the devil's temptation.
