No follower of Jesus wants to fail. We hate our sins. We groan when we cannot discern measurable growth in our spirit. When the accusations of the enemy (both human and demon) come our way, we recoil because those accusations sometimes contain a grain of the truth. Yet, in all of the battling and belittling, there is a power place for refuge. We stand in the grace of God and in the relentless commitment of Holy Spirit to bring us out of all defeat and into greater victories as we grow in Christ. It is extremely important to remember that the enemy cannot and will not have the final word over the Christian.
