WOULD YOU KNOW AN ATTACK IF YOU SAW ONE?

Let me start off by telling you that I had a friend that Satan was "whooping" up on and I told her. She immediately "poo-pooed" it and said: "I don't believe in Satan or the devil." Now mind you, she is a believer. Furthermore, she has a bunch of advanced degrees.

SIDEBAR:
(Those are the worst ones; because they think they know it all.) I'm not jealous; I have a few myself; but I'm not hard headed. When the devil whooped up on me; I went and did something about it and when I got through, I decided to look out for everybody else. I don't want a pat on the back. I love God and I love you. )

STORY CONTINUES
So, God gave me wisdom that day to gently point out a few things to her. Afterwards, I changed the subject. The next time I talked to her she was telling "me" what the devil was trying to do. I wanted to laugh. See once someone points it out, then our eyes will open eventually. Fortunately for my friend; it didn't take long.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU OR THOSE AROUND YOU?

The longer we are blinded; the longer it will take for things to get better. It's the funniest thing, people think revelation is some trick.


The Bible calls him (Satan) many names; but make no mistake, he's your enemy.

Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [[f]in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. 1 Peter 5: 8 Amplified Bible



ARE YOU HAVING PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW? WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE THEM GO AWAY.

Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.

Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven. LUKE 10: 19-20 Amplified Bible


LUCK

Most people, don't realize that there's no such thing as "luck." Not good or bad. Things don't happen by coincidence. Everyday it seems when we turn on the news; there's some horrible story that we hear that we've not heard before. Or maybe we hear about someone who lost their house, or who has been afflicted with some awful disease, or a fire that devastates lives.

That is why we are greatly warned to be on guard for the attacks. How can you be vigilant or sober like the Bible says? You can do it by praying the prayer of faith.


You can study more about confessing PSALM 91; (protection), Psalm 23 (The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want/lack), plead the Blood of Jesus; begin to learn more about OFFENSIVE and get out of the defensive zone.


Here are some areas you can be attacked in:

In your mind, your will (your freedom of choices; which is important), your emotions (the way that you react, your ability to control yourself), your soul, your spirit,
your house and anything that pertains to it, your car, your finances, your job, your work environment, your marriage, your relationships, your family, your children, your church, the list goes on...

Now think about it. Are you being attacked in any of these areas? If so, plead the Blood of Jesus. We'll talk more about it tomorrow.
