You know if you ever look at the wars of other kingdoms, you have to always asked yourself what are they fighting about? Most of it has to do with something they are trying to conquer.But in the case of the believer of Jesus our enemy is the devil. As the word of God says in 1 Peter 5:8-Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. This is the same beast by the way what people are worshipping.If they are not worshipping Jesus Christ. As the word of God says in Romans 1:25- They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshipped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself , who is worthy of eternal Praise! Amen. Some bibles say it different. He is also the one that wants you not worshipped God. Says the Matthew 4:8- Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed their glory. Matthew 4:9-" I will give it all to you,' he said," if you will kneel down and worship me. See the enemy does not like us giving God all the glory! He likes for us to find ways for us not to give honor to God. So he comes against us,just like he did in Job. As the word of God says in Jon 1:9-Satan replied to the Lord," Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. Job 1:10- You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But you know that really wasn't the problem . See the devil wanted Job to denied God, you know forsake God. As the word of God says in Job 1:11- But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face. In Peter's case the enemy got him. because he rely on his own strength.But God did restore him back to fellowship. Praise Jesus.That is why God told Peter and them to pray that you do not fall into temptation. As the word of God says in Mark 14:37- Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you watch with me even one hour? Mark 14:38-Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the Spirit is willing, but the body is weak. You know the enemy also comes up in our thought life. Have you ever had them thoughts were you thinking, and then all of sudden. And evil thought come
out of nowhere. No you was not thinking about but it just came. See that's those fiery darts that the devil is trying to place in your head. And the only way we can combat the devil is by placing the whole armor of God. As the word of God says in Ephesians 6:11- Put on all of God's armor so that you will able to stand firm against all the strategies of the devil. And also starting with our thought process as the word of God said 2 Corinthians 10:4- We use god's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. Yes their is a battle going against God children. And another thing that we need in our battle against the devil is. Our Lord Jesus Christ blood. That blood of Jesus is our defense against Satan's accusation. As the word of God says in Revelation 12:11-And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. In when you are in trouble you go to Glorious throne of grace. As the word of God says in Hebrews 4:16- So let us come boldly to throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. I hope this can help you my friends. God bless you on journey
