When we deal with sin and submit to God the devils will flee from us same as they did from Jesus because we will also cast them out with "the finger of God".   I submitted to God.  The Devil has not fled, else why would I be tempted?  He did flee from Jesus, but he came back.   jt: When we abide in sin it is our fault. No arguement there.  I have looked all over for someone to blame other than myself.  Dave Hansen looked like a possible scapegoat for a while, but it turns out that he has to be responsible for his own sins.  David Miller can't be the one, because he has no sin. AH well............ .  Through Christ we are able to "walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh" if we want to.  judyt You just had to throw that "if we want to" in, didn't you? I think you are on Davidm's side. :o)  Terry
