Spiritual Growth #45

In your spiritual journey never forget that you have an enemy waging was against you. Our enemy is not stupid. He is very intelligent.  Satan has been around for a long time. His purpose is to destroy us.  He wants to rob you of everything God has given you; your peace, your joy, and your love for one another.

(Revelations 12:17)  And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went of to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

When we are babies in Christ, many of his attacks are very obvious.  As we increase or grow up spiritually, his attacks become more and more subtle. I would encourage you to pray for spiritual discernment, you are going to need it!  He is going to attack your thought life and emotions if you do not guard them.  He is going to try to disrupt your home life, and relations with your family.

Satan will try to make you judgemental with the church, the pastor and yourself.  Refuse to become a judge! God has not called you to be a judge, you do not have enough light in your life to judge properly. Judging will injure your relationships with family and church. If you do this, you are making yourself a tool of Satan; leave the judging to God.

Satan also attacks the physical body. Keep in mind that many of our physical problems have a spiritual root.  Medicine alone will not deal with these.  We need to be knowledgeable in how to take care of these problems by prayer, laying on of hands and using the authority God has given us over spiritual things. Remember the warning in the bible in both the old and New Testament; “My people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge!”
