The Enemy's Abuse

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters:

     I really hate to tell you this, but the enemy learns from our words and actions, and He’s been doing it for 3,000+ years now.  The only way he’s DUMB, is that he will not accept he’s a LOOSER!  There is no way he can win, but the FOOL will not accept it.  I think at this point, he may just want to have more people with him than the Lord has.

     His most insidious kind of exploitation is that he’s very subtle and has a very clever facet of life.  He doesn’t start with demanding anything from you.  He starts with just thoughts of temptation in your mind, to enter your flesh.  Joyce Meyer as well as others fully believe that our BIGGEST BATTLE IS IN OUR MIND. 

     That’s why it’s so important our mind is renewed with the Word of God [ABBA].  If you know the Word, you’ll know when you are being lied to. 

     Let’s say, there’s a law and you tell the judge “I didn’t know” he’d usually tell you “ignorance of the law is not an excuse.” and you’d be fined or go to jail. 

     With God, He warns us that “lack of knowledge, destroys [who destroys? satan!] My People.” [Hosea 4:6]  Why, because sin is a death sentence when you do not belong to Jesus.  We’re only forgiven when we have the “BLOOD COVERING” and even more wonderful, we only need to ask one time, in Jesus Name for that forgiveness and it is no longer remembered by Abba. 

     [Hebrew 8:12 NKJV] "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

     Yes, we ALL fall short of the Glory of God, but we have the promise to be forgiven, as soon as we ask, THEN it is taken out of the book of Remembrance, so there is no longer any record of it.

     [Malachi 3:16 NKJV] “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard [them]; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.”

      In Malachi’s time, there were NO PRIESTS, only a few Minor Prophets around.   So the Prophets became the teachers of God in O.T. like Samuel.  Abba wanted the peoples words recorded for good or evil, for the coming judgment day.  

     That's why we have the promise of Malachi 3:16, yes our sin is recorded, but because we fear the Lord and meditate on Jesus’ Name, we also have the right to ask for forgiveness and our sin being removed from this book, for WE ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, AND COVERED BY THE PERFECTION OF JESUS' BLOOD, WHO SET US FREE.

     The only purpose for [satan] at this time, is to try and shame Abba.  That’s what he was trying to do with Job, but God trusted Job, who was sinless in God’s eyes and Job never gave in to the enemy!  In a way, Job was like Jesus, who knew the TRUTH and was set-FREE, covered by his animal sacrifices in the Old Covenant.

      [Job 1:1, 7-12, 14-15 NKJV] 1 “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. ... 

     7 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." 8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" 9 So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 "Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 "But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!" 12 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has [is] in your power; only do not lay a hand on his [person]." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. ... 

     14 and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,” 15 "when the Sabeans [Sheba] raided [them] and took them away,”

     Notice a couple of things here in Job chapter 1. 

1. ABBA said Job was a blameless and an upright man.
2. He feared God and shunned [rejected] evil.
3. Abba was actually bragging on Job, which I'm sure frustrated the twerp.
4. The twerp [satan] had to go “to and fro on earth, walking back and forth.” No flying for him.
5. The twerp implied there was a hedge around Job, his family, and all he owned.
6. ABBA was assured Job would not curse Him, even IF the hedge was dropped.
7. THE FIRST THING the twerp did, was to eliminate anything Job could use as a Sacrifice to God – all Job's animals. Also see verses 16-17.

First, notice that in #1, Abba knew Job was sinless and followed Abba’s ways to protect his family IF they sinned.  #2, Job was one who Feared Abba and shunned [rejected] evil.  Even in that day and time, Job must have been trained well by his parents to know the difference between evil and God’s Goodness.  #3, Don't you hope Abba is bragging on you for the Glory you bring Him?  #4, we’re also told in 1 Peter 5:8 “the enemy is going to and fro, seeking whom he may devour.”  This agrees with the O.T.  The twerp cannot move like the Angels of Light can.  #5, even the enemy knows when there is a spiritual hedge of protection around us.  #5 God has assurance in Job.  #7 to me, the smartest thing the twerp did was to remove ALL of the possible animal sacrifices before he did anything else.  Why?  Job could have offered a sacrifice and got the twerp “kicked out”!  But then, we would have missed the Book of Job, which I really like.  Plus VERY GRATEFUL, I don’t have to go through what he did!  PTL!  The best part, is the last 2 chapters where God talks to Job about His Creation and animals.

I’ve gotten somewhat off my topic, sorry.  But every saved household, is under attack.  Some workers of iniquity [demons] are worse than others.  I believe some simply attach themselves to you i.e., spirits of infirmities they cause sickness and disease.  Some are in and ruling other humans i.e., demon possessed. Then there are the ones who keep putting thoughts of division, hatred, offence, lies, depression and as they say, the list goes on and on and on…  Until you start dwelling/agreeing/speaking and manifesting those evil thoughts.  To eliminate these thoughts, read and speak Philippians 4:8.  OR that’s when you’ll lose your freedom; to be happy, at peace, joyful, loving and kind, all the things you use to be – because those are the things the enemy HATES. 

Know this, if you are not under attack; spirit, soul [emotions/mental] or body, then you may not be one of God’s Children.  The twerp will not attack those following him.  No, usually he keeps them continually drunk or on drugs, so their minds belong to him.  Why would he steal, kill or destroy his own, when they do his will?

[John 10:10 NKJV] "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly.”  So we ALL have a choice to make – be KILLED, DESTROYED AND OUR SOULS STOLEN, - OR ACCEPT AN ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS.  I doubt anyone reading this blog would accept the twerp, but have you fully accepted Jesus? Have fellowship with Him?  Read His Word to know Him? He’s already chosen YOU!

[John 15:19 NKJV] "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

I truly do not want to be hated by anyone, but I do have many Christian friends, family and Jesus I fellowship with on a daily basis.  So who cares what the non-Christian thinks or says – I don’t fight against flesh and blood, just the rulers of darkness.  I don’t run from them – Just give them to Abba and while He wins the battle – I get the VICTORY, TO GIVE HIM THE PRAISE!

Shalom, Shalom [Deuteronomy 28:1-14] to all who read the blog. 

I pray each of you will do ALL to stand, kicking the twerp out of your life.

Always wear your armor of God – we are in the “last days.”
