The Month of August is the Month of Praise.

This is what the spirit of God is saying to us; If you are to read the words of the master Jesus from the book of Matthew chapter 21:15-16
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? (Matthew 21:15-16 KJV)

It's remarkable that Jesus was actually quoting the scripture. "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger." (Psalms 8:2 KJV)
The leaders didn't understand that's why Jesus had to explain to them. He is talking about the joy of The Lord.
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
(Nehemiah 8:10 KJV)
THE JOY OF THE LORD IS USUALLY EXPRESSED IN PRAISE.
'To still the enemy' means to bring the enemy to silence.
PRAISE THE LORD. This is your month of praise.
By him (Jesus) therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is,
the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
(Hebrews 13:15 KJV)
The Amplified renders it this way 'Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.'
"To Confess" is a Greek term "homologia" which means to say the same thing in agreement/ consent.
Make confessions this month, Say "I am the glory of God", "I am fearfully and wonderfully made". Give The Lord praise with your confessions.
Find God in your in your work, 
In your finances,
In your life.
Stop looking for the devil in what you do. Choose to see God in your health, finances, family. Give him praise for everything in your life. Glorify him, recognize him. Everyday, give Him praise, glorify Him and magnify Him.
He has not left you to satan.
Hey everything works together for your good. Your month of August is an exciting month. Go ahead and give Him praise.
Happy New Month!
