Sometimes it
seems like everything is against us and it seems like God don't hear our
prayers. It seems, it seems, it seems...
The reality is God is still in
control. Two forces are actually at work in the spiritual realm and if you are not careful
the wrong spiritual influence will bring you down . The devil tries to use your
circumstances to destroy your faith while God offers you his power to overcome your
circumstances and strengthen your faith. One thing that all of us need to learn is this;
even though the devil uses surprise attacks he is very predictable.
Here are the basic ways the devil attacks your
faith.
Fear: this is Satan’s #1
attack against you. Fear paralyzes you; it brings in questions of doubt and worry. It fights at the very core of your faith. What do you do to fight back fear? But perfect love drives out fear… I John 4:18 (NIV) I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:4 God loves us, and since He loves us He will always watch over us! Apathy: if Satan can’t scare you into submission he will try a totally different approach. Apathy is a lack of feeling or emotion, a lack of interest or concern. He does this with different distractions that take you away from your faith.We have known people that God had used in powerful ways but are no longer making any significant impact in people’s lives.Most of them started taking lightly the things of God and now are weak in faith. You don’t have as much love as you used to. Think about where you have fallen from, and then turn back and do as you did at first. We need to love Jesus with the same fire we did when He first saved us! Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger , danger , death… Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord! The Father has loved us so much that we are called children of God. 1 John 3:1 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path." Proverbs 3:5-6
