Know Your Enemy

You need to know who your enemy is. Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. So, you must know who is behind your suffering and trouble. Your enemy is not the one who you see with your physical eyes.

The Bible says, Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion. He is like a lion, not actually one. He is just a small ant in front of Jesus. So, do not fear. You need to stand firm in your faith and resist him. For we are the children of the Most High God, made in His very image. The DNA of Jesus is in you.

The Bible says, Resist him, standing firm in your faith (1 Peter 5:9a NIV). Faith comes from hearing the Word of God. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. A soldier always goes to the battlefield to face his enemy with his weapon. In the same way, we, soldiers of God, should put on the armor of God, so that we may be able to stand our ground. Dear friends, we are not going to the battlefield alone. The Holy Spirit is with us.

He is our helper. He will instruct us, guide us and direct our footsteps. We have to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, and speak the Word that He tells us to speak.
So equip yourself with the Word of God. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. For this battle is not yours. It belongs to the Lord, our God, who is victorious. He is omnipotent.

Prayer
Dear God, open the eyes of our understanding, to know who our enemy is and resist him standing firm in our faith. Amen.
