James 4 gives us an interesting warning: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. In Ephesians 4, Paul talks about not giving the devil a foothold—don’t give him room in the congregation.

Because it’s directly connected to our spiritual health and life. These are real attacks from a real enemy.
