Why does the devil attack us?

He hates us. Why? Because we have what he wants. PEACE. FREEDOM. LOVE. ACCEPTANCE. I should go on but I think you all get it. It isnt YOU or YOUR LIFE he wants. It is all you have with God. Take a look around the people he is attacking the hardest are the ones who love God, and their families. You dont see a lot of people unsaved or unbelieving going through as much as the born again believers are. I mean dont get me wrong, he is attacking the other people just as much but in a different way. He has to keep their fear brewing, their anxiety high and their faith crushed. But us, he fights so hard because he is jealous of what we have. He hates us at peace, he hates us happy, hopeful, faithful. So where does he attack? Look around—Your Moms, Dads, Sisters, Brothers, Nieces, Nephews, Sons and Daughters, Husbands and wives. I can say he battled me with my siblings before to the point where I dont speak with three of my siblings. I used to fight to try and get them back in my life, but God has said NO. Leave it alone. I closed that door for your protection and I dont fully understand that idea but I have FAITH in what He is up to. There was a broken relationship between my middle younger sister and God healed it. We are closer now than I think we ever have been. I thank God for that daily but I also dont let my guard down because I know the devil doesnt want it to be this way, so when he creeps in and tries to lie to me, I just go pray and walk away. I have been divorced (twice oh I know gasp and swoon judge me —God knows and has forgiven me and THAT is what matters to me so go on with yourself lol) And even though I was not living right by Gods standards I know he protected me from things being worse ( my first husband abused me and God stepped in and saved me my second husband and I dated in Jr high and High school and we fell in love with the people we used to be we didnt take time to get to know the people we were at that time and God again protected both of us and though now I think we would have fought harder to save things, we both are much better friends than we ever were married) Point is the devil attacked both of those marriages because he wanted to keep us down in the pits and when he saw me pick up my bible or pray he got offended and attacked where he knew it would hurt. Now he tried to steal my hope and love with my husband and he uses my kids and my Mom as well and then I hit my knees and fight back where I know I have power in the Lord. ON MY KNEES!

So, we need to prepare to fight when he sneaks into our lives whether it is in our churches, our marriages, our children, whatever it is CHRISTIANS WE NEED TO STAND UP AND BE PREPARED TO FIGHT THE DEVIL WITH THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD. Are you ready Brothers and Sisters? Get your bibles worn and torn preparing, make your knees hurt being on them so much talking with God and lets take back our churches, our Pastors, their families, our Husbands, Wives, Kids etc IN JESUS NAME!!! AMEN!

Until next time,
