God is supposed to have defeated the devil, and have more power than him, but if this is so I have a question about a certain thing happening in my life, and maybe some of you. God hears my pleas, I get a victory, BUT THEN soon afterward, the devil fights back and steals the victory, or taints it so it's not such a complete victory.And lately, I've been on this "see-saw' a lot. Same pattern--I get the victory,it gets stolen from me , I get another victory, that's stolen,and so on, so that in my life, it seems that God and the devil are running about even.Now the question for me becomes, if God is so much more powerful than the devil, how is he able to steal our victories from us?Can't he defeat him COMPLETELY?Why the tied score?Has this happened to any of you before?Just because God gives you a victory doesn't mean the devil is going to stop trying.And unlike some would say about it's my thoughts or words, I remind you that I've thought and spoke with faith , and still got defeated, and also was negative with no hope on things, and they turned out good!!So why the tied score in my life?

Same story here. I’ve been battling with my situations for so long. Intercessors etc have been praying but everything is just going downhill for me. I just don’t understand. I’ve been hoping, praying, fasting, expecting etc and believing I will get my victory but all I get is just more pain, misery etc. There are times I think this is God’s destiny for me.... But why???? Why would God want us to be so unhappy for so long.I am not perfect but I try to live a righteous life. Many times I think my heart is not pure or something. I’m I not worthy to be love, get married , be happy and live a normal life etc. I have millions of questions but no answers. Atheists and other people that don’t care about others they seem to move forward in life. It’s the time of the year everyone is in a happy space, they make plans with their loved ones but I’m drowning with sorrows etc. I just can’t take it anymore.

When temptations to watch porn, to lie or to steal or to make more money rather than serving God, then satan is tempting you Cast him out of your house and of your mind. If you let him in, then it will make your life miserable till you call on the Lord for deliverance.

No ,I didn't mean that kind of thing.I meant like, you have a problem,you get the victorythen the devil comes back with something else, and back and forth.

Sometimes God wants us to be patient, resilient, trusting him and endure the pain. The devil works hard to reverse what God has released and thats how the devil works. Sometimes satan lays charges against the afflicted. Through prayer and repentance we are able to plead innocent to God and get our deliverance. It becomes a vicious cycle. Thats how I see it. Trust in God and do the rihht.
