There are harsh satanic attacks being carried out against Believers who love, defend, and present truth. Deceived apostates that believe they are servants of God are carrying out that aggression. They are blind to the evidence of their evil ways and believe they are truly godly Christians secured in God\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service._ – John 16:2<\/p>\n
Do not despair my fellow watchmen, you are accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6). The satanic aggression is to make you back down, shut up, and settle into a non-productive religious condition that so many are comfortable with today. It will cost you somehow or some way for every good work\u2014be prepared to pay and pray.<\/p>\n
The truth proven by historical evidence is that the wicked one will attack all major progress of a Believer. Do anything significant for God and you should expect the enemy to incite his subjects to harass the Believer. It is not an easy or pleasant thing to endure, especially when it includes false accusations and slander.<\/p>\n
There are some things that you can do to turn the entire evil intent back on the one and his flunkies who try to carry it out.<\/p>\n
First, do not retaliate. When you fight a battle, fight it on God\u2019s terms, not Satan\u2019s. Retaliating against evil speakers is going down into the miry pit with them. Stay on the hallowed ground of peace where their evil feet cannot tread.<\/p>\n
Second, forgive them. Forgiveness puts all wrongs in the hands of God. He will respond with justice and mercy. Furthermore, forgiveness cuts off their access to your spirit. If you dwell on things people say or do to you, then they are still doing them. Forgive and end their access and activity in your spirit.<\/p>\n
Third, let the false accusations cause you to search your heart. Pray and repent over everything you discover that is not right or not submitted to God. If you respond to evil aggression by allowing it to humble you, you have won that battle. I would rather my pride catch every blow and fiery dart than to harbor an unhealed wound in my heart.<\/p>\n
Fourth, don\u2019t withdraw and become reticent to trust and love people. Smile, hug, say encouraging things to people who are suffering or rejected. In other words look for ways and people to pour out love on. You may speak piercing truth and Satan\u2019s imps may call you mean-spirited, but heaven and needy people will know you as a person who loves.<\/p>\n
Fifth, pray for your antagonists. They obey the dark forces of evil; but you have much more power when you pray to the just and righteous God that loves you.<\/p>\n
Sixth, do not feel sorry for yourself. The pity option has no blessed fruit. Instead, it can make one feel cheated and entitled to compensation. Satan is all too happy to agree and honor that request. Instead of pity, rejoice in the fact that you are not like them. Be grateful that you can endure pain and prevent it from becoming anger or hate.<\/p>\n
Seven, don\u2019t over analyze what evil people do and try to make sense of their actions and words. Just wrap it all up and file it away under nonsense. So what if people despise you for being fully surrendered to God. They are the ones with the problem, not you. So do not play their game of causing you to fret for hours on end daily wrestling over the conundrum of why they are so mean and callused.<\/p>\n
I have not always fought those battles efficiently or correctly, but I have learned that doing it God\u2019s way yields the battleground to Him. It is not going to get easier as the evil darkness become stronger. However, I believe that we can continue to develop our response to evil aggression and become overcomers.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you will be hated by all for My name\u2019s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 10:22<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
