By the Power of the Holy Spirit

One of the most used tactic of the devil these days is to make the believer "feel" they did something wrong when they told the truth.

Those who are lying, hiding and depend on secrecy to manipulate and control others, really hate it when we expose them and their tactics.

When we are evaluating ourselves, praying to see ourselves in truth, God can reveal whether we did something wrong or if we did something right.

We must base our evaluation on truth not feelings. The devil has the ability to make us feel bad for doing good. That's one of his ways of shutting down and shutting up the believer.

When we ignore feelings and meditate on God's truth, then we will know where we stand with God. God will never ignore our prayers for discovering our inner motives.

The evil person has no power over us as long as we are continually meditating on God's Word and praying for wisdom.

James 1:4-6 "…4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."

You can trust that in these last days the believer will be under attack on all fronts by most everyone, believe it and be encouraged that we do not have to be intimidated by these tactics or the devil.

James 3:8 "…8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work."

Galatians 1:4
" Christ who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,"

It is the desire of the devil to make believers fall by manipulating us to answer fools the same way they speak to us. They are rude, mean and loud, we do not have to be as they are, we can remain Christlike no matter what they are doing and if we are diligent in prayer, we will be able to answer everything in the power of the Holy Spirit, or withhold responses in the power of the Holy Spirit, whichever way He leads.

The key to all of this is to be deeply connected to the Holy Spirit, so that when we encounter the evil ones we will not speak, but the Holy Spirit will do whatever He wants through us.

May we be hid behind the Holy Spirit in all circumstances.
