Tozer for a Tuesday

A double header today:

Unless you open the gate and let the devil in, he is totally harmless and cannot injure anybody except as he is allowed to get in.—A.W. Tozer, Living as a Christian, 158

Why should we always be devil conscious? I have met people that were in such contact with the devil that he was breathing on their neck all the time and they were always praying and almost frantically praying, “O Lord, deliver me and help me.” I could see that sometime during your lifetime you might have a run-in with the devil where you would have to really get down and pray. But for the most part, if you would forget about the devil and focus your attention on the eternal, everlasting, victorious Son of God, you would break the devil’s heart and render him powerless.—A.W. Tozer, Living as a Christian, 159–60 (emphasis added)
