So…do you know your enemy? If not, you better get to know him because he has come to kill, steal and destroy everything good in your life….your marriage, your family, your happiness, your joy, your peace, your hope, your faith and your love. He wants desperately to steal your soul for eternity, keep you in spiritual bondage, keep you depressed, oppressed and useless to God.
So…do you know your enemy?
My best friend from childhood doesn’t, and his life, his marriage and his family is being destroyed by the enemy. He’s not a christian and the enemy is keeping his soul dead and condemned, and taking his family with him. One of my good friends doesn’t, and she’s depressed, full of anxiety, full of guilt, condemnation and fear. She thinks the enemy is a fairy tale. She is still a baby in her faith after 20 years. She’s a Christian but the enemy is the same. Another person close to me doesn’t know the enemy either. His life has been full of destrutive addictions, torment and torn relationships. He professes Christ but he is running from God. He doesn’t realize it. That’s how blind the enemy has made him.
So…do you know your enemy?
The American church tells everyone they do. But most don’t. They distort the Gospel, they live by religious rituals and legalistic laws, they cling to false doctrines and dominational cliques, quench the Spirit, allow homosexuals to run their churches, turn a blind eye to the thousands and thousands of unborn children killed each year, vote for politicians that are hell-bent on removing all traces of God from our society, cater to their country club congregations at the expense of the world’s lost and hurting, and bow to our government and status quo to protect their money and worldly kingdoms. I could go on and on but what I really want to know is….
Do they know who their enemy really is?
