*Know Your Enemy
We have an enemy who hates us and is actively trying to destroy us. We need to fight back. He won’t leave us alone until we force him to.
Satan means “adversary.” Satan is God’s adversary. He opposes God, the things of God, and anyone God loves. He can’t touch God, so he comes after you and I – those whom God loves.
His common name is Devil which means “false accuser” or “slanderer.” He sows seeds of doubt, deception, confusion, discouragement, depression, temptation, and offense.
Somehow, he is able to place these seeds as thoughts in our minds.
Disappointment is one of his weapons to hurt us. He uses disappointment to create great pain in our lives. Pain that can drag us down and hurt us over a long time. Pain that causes us to give up on dreams and live defeated lives. It’s time to fight back .
Human beings are no match for Satan.
