WHY SATAN IS FIGHTING YOU

Post date: Aug 22, 2013 4:06:28 AM

You may be wondering why the devil had declared war in your life all these years? It is never because you have made any mistake or trespassed your assigned boundaries; not because you took anything that does not rightly belong to you; not because of your prayers, submission to God and His words; not because of your right or wrong beliefs, wisdom or foolishness; not because God loves you and sacrificed Jesus Christ on the cross to set you free; and not because of your parents, family members, spouse, children, or your employer. The devil loves everything God hates and hates everything that God loves; he is not fighting you because of that. He is fighting because there is something in you that you are about to bring forth very soon.

Do not expect him to give you any tangible reason because he has none that will be acceptable, except to keep accusing you to make you feel continually guilty of crimes you never committed and those you already received forgiveness from Christ Jesus. This will continue even when you fully submit yourself to his wishes and plans which I know by God’s grace you will not. The fight against the people of God is not new, people of old have engaged him in several battles and won, you will also win in this battle. Let not fear and guilt hold you back. Look at a similar situation why the devil declared war with this woman. Please carefully and observe some points:

“And a great sign, warning of future events of ominous significance appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and with a crown-like garland of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and she cried out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery. Then another ominous sign was seen in heaven: Behold, a huge, fiery-red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven kingly crowns upon his heads. His tail swept across the sky and dragged down a third of the stars and flung them to the earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth. And she brought forth a male Child, One Who is destined to shepherd all the nations with an iron staff, and her Child was caught up to God and to His throne. And the woman herself fled into the desert, where she has a retreat prepared for her by God, in which she is to be fed and kept safe for 1,260 days. Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought. But they were defeated, and there was no room found for them in heaven any longer. And the huge dragon was cast down and out, that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer and deceiver of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him. Then I heard a strong loud voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come, the salvation and the power and the kingdom, the dominion, the reign of our God, and the power, the sovereignty, the authority of His Christ the Messiah; for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out” Revelation 12:1-11

Before this day, the devil knew this woman, knew she was pregnant but never fought her, but the day she cried out to give birth, the devil declared war against her and her child. The devil knows you are existing, knows God had given you life changing dreams, visions, revelations and desires that are capable of bringing those gifts to physical manifestation and affect your life positively; he did not fight to stop you from existing and having them; but the very day and time you step out in faith and determination to manifest those dreams, visions, revelations, and desires, like the woman in the passage above, that same day he, the devil, declares war against you, to stop you from physically manifesting those good things that God had deposited in you. As God and His angels did not fold their hands to watch what the devil was doing to that woman, so will He not fold His arms and watch you being destroyed by that same devil. For prayer Click here
