The best way to keep the devil off our territory is to keep him busy on his own, defending his kingdom from our bold attacks…. Many of our battles are fought in view of heaven alone. Have you not felt, in some quiet hour of fellowship with God, that you were going through a decisive battle that no mortal saw? Within the silent walls of your room, an issue was being decided that would affect all eternity…. Do you know that Christ’s greatest victories were accomplished alone with God and the devil? No human eye saw that victory in the wilderness, but God saw it and was glorified….
