The Bible warns us in 1 Peter 5:8 to be sober and vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Satan is the true enemy. He is a spirit of the dark world according to Ephesians:6:12. It says; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood (people), but against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The moment you begin to hate the person you are witnessing to is the moment you’ve misidentified the enemy at work. This too, weakens your testimony. Satan has no vessel except those who submit to his ways, yet it happens almost automatically these days for many. God loves the soul of men but hates the sin. According to 2 Peter 3:9 it is not His will that any should perish but that all come into repentance. He came that we will have life and have it more abundantly. He gave us the Holy Spirit which bares fruits and much fruits that remain in anyone who accepts Him and live for Jesus Christ. His word says the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
Satan on the other hand is the father of sin and they that commits sin, especially intentionally, serves him as vessels. If ye continue to live in sin, your soul shall be doomed to eternal destruction like the father of it. Satan was a murderer from the beginning and an accuser of the brethren.
Sometimes you may wonder why there is so much hate and wrong doing among mankind. It is not Godly but is as a result of sin and the manipulation of Satan operating in willing vessels. I say willing because the free will of men to choose between God and the devil plays a very important part in this spiritual warfare. A man living with the Holy Spirit and determined to serve God cannot become a slave to Satan. Darkness has no dominion over light nor can they be mixed.
Blatant identification
Often times we’re instructed, tempted and even faced with situations that call for immediate action. Sometimes at home, with family, friends or even at work with co-workers and supervisors. When you pray, pray for them that love and or hate you Develop a strategy against the tactics of the enemy for they do not change. Before you take action, check your spirit and set your thought process on God. Analyze the situation and find out the spirit of operation. Is this the spirit of God? Will my contemplated action or speech line up with the Word of God? What sorts of seed will I sew into the unbelievers looking for a way out of sin? Will it glorify God?
When you have truly identified who is working behind the scenes you know their code of operation and can easily disarm the enemy. It is written! Man shall not live by bread alone but by some every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. The word is your sword and your mouth is the sword case, open and use it effectively against the enemy. Don’t fight the ememy on his terms, nor waste time hating your fellow men for you will sustain injuries. Christ did not speak of Himself but relied on the power of His Father in Heaven, the Holy Spirit and the written word. What says you? Learn to fight your battles on your knees and dialogue with God. Prayer isn’t a monologue, it’s a dialogue.
Until next time, ave a wonderful week and seek the Kingdom of God. 🙏
Yours truly
