IDENTIFYING YOUR ENEMY
The Bible has made it clear and obvious that your enemy is the devil. Many people find it difficult to believe this. Their minds have been so programmed to believing that some people are responsible for their problems. The point is, the devil will want to keep you from identifying him as your enemy, because he knows that the moment you identify your enemy, the battle is almost as good as won. He keeps blinding people to this fact. But
know assuredly that the devil is your adversary.
It does not matter what fight it is. God is not your enemy. If you are born again, God is your Father. The devil is the enemy. He is your accuser before God. He has sworn that nothing will go well with you. This is where the fight is. He does not want to see you progress. He wants to ruin your business. He is always mounting pressure on you, to keep you away from God. He is not interested in any good thing coming your way. His thoughts towards you are completely evil...
If you look closely at Ephesians 6:12,you will notice a few remarkable things.
It says we wrestle not against flesh and blood! Not human beings either. They are not your enemies. The devil has used this particular lie to disorganize and disintegrate homes and families. It is the devil at work....
Stop looking at human beings as your problem. God has not called you into a physical fight, but to a fight of faith.
Please get hold of this truth. It will change your whole outlook, and you will be able to channel your spiritual energy in the right direction.
