How do we live in the wisdom afforded by accountability? First we need to humble our hearts and acknowledge we need help. The body of Christ was designed for shoulder to shoulder combat. We have an unseen enemy who works through cunningly devised schemes.

Accountability’s wisdom is to maintain a heart of integrity. The words that we speak emerge from a heart rooted in God’s word. His word will not return to Him void. However, when we continually resist applying it to our personal lives, we will have no inner strength to resist satan’s wily deceptions.

Accountability’s wisdom is to find someone to stand in the gap for you. Our hidden sin opens the way for intruders whose mission is to deceive. That ‘hole’ in our testimony can be covered through intercessory prayer.
