The desire to test or doubt always leads us away from Jesus. Therefore, our hearts should be good and inclined to be with Jesus, with a heart that desires to bow before Him.
When we are controlled by evil spirits, our minds become filled with irrational, conflict-driven thoughts, causing our hearts to become twisted. Similarly, if we lack faith and grace, we too can become like this—saying anything that comes to mind and acting without hesitation.
To stay on the path of Jesus and not stray from it, we must continue the race of faith. To strengthen the muscles of our faith, we must endure some level of pain. Only then will greater evil spirits not be able to enter us and take control.
