Thought For Today - 11/6/09
Do you know why so many are losing the battles in their lives? They're fighting the wrong enemy! They've been deceived into believing that just because a person said or did something to hurt them, that person is the one they need to fight. But they're wrong.
People are never the source of our problem. Who is that real enemy? Darkness. It is your lifelong enemy! It is behind every personal affront you encounter. The people who hurt you and persecute you are only darkness's tools. When it wants to strike out at you, it uses people to get the job done.
Persecution is not the manifestation of another person's hate for you. It's a manifestation of darkness's fear of you. When you start reading the Word of God and start swinging it around--using it like the sword of the Spirit it is--darkness gets scared. So it looks for some person it can send in there to stop you.
Next time someone hurts you, don't let yourself get sidetracked into fighting them. Bind the spirit (energy) behind them. Put flesh and blood battles behind and war with the weapons of the Spirit. Zero in on darkness with authority and the Word of God and bring your real enemy down!
Much love,
Joseph
