“Put
on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph 6:11-12
Our
generation has had no great war, no great depression; our war is spiritual. It
is well stated: “Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When
doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. Where hatred rules, love is crowded out.
Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. Where worry is present, trust
cannot flourish.” (Billy Graham) Satan, like a fisherman, baits his hook
according to the appetite of the fish. He
dupes his victims, dabbing the pleasure of sin with a delusive sweetness and
soon his victims become intoxicated in the deceitfulness and lose all
consciousness towards the danger they’re in.
To the point they are entrapped in a prison cell and even though the
door remains open, they never escape and eventually it slams shut. The strength of all sin is the lie that God
cannot do what it can. There are two
essential elements to obtain victory in warfare, knowing your enemy and knowing
your resources. So, if Satan comes
knocking at your door, allow Christ to answer it.
