Focus on Jesus

DAY 5 OF 5

Some people focus on the enemy too much.

As Paul said, we should not be 'ignorant' of Satan's devices. We certainly need to know that the devil and demons exist, and we need to recognize when we are facing demonic activity. But we need to keep our focus on the Lord.

Some people who are excessive in 'spiritual warfare' actually spend more time talking to the devil each day than they do talking to God. This is not right.

The best defense is to be so 'God-centered' that we give no place to the enemy. Be sensitive to the Lord's presence. David said, 'If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there' (Ps. 139:8). Any time Satan's oppression is there, God's presence is present too (Heb. 13:5)! It's just a matter of which one we focus on.

Our total ability in the Christian life is found in Christ. It is not our ability that makes us strong, but our availability to Christ that enables us.

Paul said, 'For when I am weak, then am I strong' (2 Cor. 12:10). He was saying that when he recognized his inability and, therefore, relied on the Lord, then the Lord's strength flowed through him. We can do all things THROUGH CHRIST.
