Our Enemy

Let me let you in on some statements that I have
heard recently:

• Love is Love no matter the form

• He came right when I needed him; it was a blessing from God

These statements were by different people and about completely different topics. What was so interesting though is with each of these statements there was a commonality. With each one our Enemy was pretending to be God. These individuals were saying these situations were of God and the truth is they were not.

How do I know it was not of God you may ask?

Because it went directly against God’s word. When I was reflecting on these situations a few thoughts came to me about sin, our enemy and about God:

• Our Enemy will come in whatever package possible to cause temptation and to destroy (1 Peter 5:8)

• This includes packages that look on the outside to be “good”; a “blessing”; even “godly” (i.e. wolves in sheep’s clothing – Matthew 7: 15 - 20)

• We will know something that is Godly by their fruit (do they point to Christ in their behavior, actions, etc.) (Matthew 7: 17 – 19)

• We also need to know scripture so we will not be destroyed and fall into one of our Enemy’s traps (Hosea 4:6)

• Evil is REAL; this is not a fantasy; a war is REALLY going on (Ephesians 6:12)

• If you are in relationship with Christ as your Lord and Leader you have nothing to FEAR! (Romans 8)
