Spiritual Growth #24

The Never Ending War!

It is very easy to become complacent, that is just what our enemy is waiting for. I believe that God has his eye on us all the time, not like a big brother that wants to control and manipulate every moment of our lives, but  like a father and mother that care for their children.

Our enemy Satan and his hoard of evil spirits are also watching us. They are waiting for you to drop your guard so that they can attack your thoughts and emotions. I am always surprised at how many Christian homes are under spiritual attack and how many folks are totally unaware of it.

We seem to think that as we become spiritually mature that the victory is ours. No! The attack becomes more frequent and it is more subtle. We must be more on guard for our family, our home, our mind and emotions and our spirit.

In the last two or three years I have become aware more then ever before how the enemy attacks our spirit. He wants to cripple your spirit, to burden your spirit. He is more interested in defeating and bringing down your spirit then he is your mind and emotions. If your spirit is down, your whole being is down, body, soul, emotions and spirit.

Don’t think for a moment that because you are a Christian you are completely protected. Why do you think the bible tells us to put on the whole armor? You need it! Without it you will have no victory. Our enemy wants to undermine your faith and rob you of love, peace, joy and the victory that is in the Kingdom of God. 

As we mature, I believe the Lord is expecting us to use everything He has given us and if we do, we can live a victorious Christian life in this unending war. I encourage you to read the bible and get His word stored in your heart. There will be days when you will be glad you did.
