- FIGHT THE RIGHT ENEMY - Satan and his demons are your lifelong enemies! They are behind every personal affront you encounter. The people who hurt you and persecute you are only Satan's tools. When Satan wants to strike out at you, he uses them to get the job done. Persecution is not the manifestation of another person's hate for you. It is a manifestation of Satan's fear of you.

Fight the Right Enemy

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh" (2 Corinthians 10:3).

Do you know why so many believers are losing the battles in their lives?

They're fighting the wrong enemy!

They have been deceived into believing that just because a person said or did something to hurt them, that person is the one they need to fight.

But they're wrong.

You see, the Bible says we do not wrestle with flesh and blood. And since people are definitely flesh and blood, they're never the source of our problem.

"But, you just don't know what So-and-so did to me!"

It does not matter. If you waste your time fighting So-and-so, your real enemy will get away scot-free.

Who is that real enemy?

   Look at Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Satan and his demons. They are your lifelong enemies!

They are behind every personal affront you encounter.

The people who hurt you and persecute you are only Satan's tools.

When Satan wants to strike out at you, he uses them to get the job done.

Remember this: Persecution is not the manifestation of another person's hate for you. It is a manifestation of Satan's fear of you.

When you get into the Word of God and start swinging it around-using it like the sword of the Spirit it is - Satan gets scared.

So he looks for some person he can send in there to stop you.

So, next time people hurt you do not let yourself get sidetracked into fighting them.

Bind the demonic spirit behind them. 

Put flesh and blood battles behind and war with the weapons of the Spirit.

Zero in on Satan with authority and the Word of God and bring your real enemy down!

Scripture Reading:  

Ephesians 6:10-18  The Whole Armor of God 

 ^“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 

^“12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 

^“13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 

^“14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 

^“16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

^“18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,”   English Standard Version (ESV)

In this spiritual war, there are no fence-sitters – you are either with the Lords’ victorious army or with the wicked “Powers” of Satan.

Ensure you are listed with the victorious army of the Lord.  Settle that sin issue right now by saying this prayer:

“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.

I am truly sorry.  I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.

Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.

I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward.

Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. Thank you, Lord, that according to Your Word, I am born again.

Use me for Your glory.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.”

lyrics

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

o    Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2.    Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

3.    Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

4.    Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

5.    Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
