UNDERSTAND THE ENEMY'S STRATEGIES AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD LIVE FOR JESUS.

Imagine if you were satan .... how would you attack the church of JESUS CHRIST ?
This is not a great thought , but a necessary one! Understand that as Ephesians 6 : 10-12 reminds us we are in a spiritual war . The message puts it this way " ...This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll away from & forget about in a couple of hours.This is for keeps , a life- or- death fight to the finish against the devil & all his angels."

REFLECT FOR A MOMENT :
If I were the devil , I would..............
Attack the family backbone of any & every nation, I would make divorce acceptable, easy & fashionable, because if the family crumbles so does the nation.

I would convince people that right & wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities & refer to their agenda as politically correct.

I would dull the minds of God's people + make them believe PRAYER is an option  and that faithfulness & obedience is up for negotiation.

I would convince & compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas & movie screens, & I would call it freedom of expression .. even art..............
If I were the devil, I would............


Persuade people that the Church is irrelevant & out of date & the Bible is only for the simpleminded , deluded souls who have no education........

I would attack all of these things and more, ever so slowly , so as not to arouse the anger of Spirit-filled christians  . I would do this effectively so that by the time they realise what is happening it would be in fact far too late & in reality I would have strategically achieved my one main goal ......

to render the BODY OF CHRIST  powerless & ineffective.

You are JESUS' representatives on earth .......how do you plan to combat in the spiritual realm this enemy in JESUS' NAME ???
