The Devil Lives in Penhook
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10

Christian girlfriends are just the best. I have a friend who lives about 45 minutes away in a small community called Penhook. She was up to her eyeballs with life's frustrations. Finally, flabbergasted with all that was going on in her life, she exclaimed, "The devil lives in Penhook!"
We all broke out in laughter. I promised to write lyrics for a song by this name, which we felt would be destined to be a country hit!
The following week, my husband had encountered an entourage of devil darts, so I wrote this group of friends asking if they had seen the headlines in our local paper.
"The devil was seen exiting Penhook, last Wednesday afternoon,
but unfortunately he has been sited in Rocky Mt."
Recognizing there is a spiritual battle is HUGE. Seeking wisdom from the Spirit on how to withstand the attacks or retaliate with spiritual weapons is the second step. Rejoicing throughout the battle, until the victory comes, is the pinnacle of the victorious process of daily defeating the devil.
