Spiritual Warfare Terminology: Proof We’re in a Actual Battle
Discover how spiritual warfare terminology in the Bible proves you’re in a real battle. The language isn’t metaphorical—and neither is the war you’re facing.
Read MoreWhat biblical reason can you give for saying these are satanic attacks?I don’t want to put words in your mouth but since I’m writing this post I guess I will. You might say,
These are horrible things meant to harm or disrupt a person’s life. Aren’t these like what Satan did to Job?Hmm. Okay, I’ll agree they are all negative events. I’ll get back to Job in a minute. Let me ask you,
Does God ever bring negative events into our lives? Is it possible that some, maybe all of these are from God not Satan?I’ll answer that for you. Yes, God sometimes brings negative events into our lives to test us, to discipline us or to strengthen us. Here is a post that addresses this. There is a problem in assuming the things listed above are from Satan. None of these are things that God warns us about regarding satanic attacks! Oh yeah, and if these are satanic attacks, how can we defeat them? [Tweet "Nowhere in the Bible does God warn us about Satan attacking our circumstances!"] Here’s what God warns us,
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3Satan doesn’t care about your circumstances! He wants to attack your mind. You ask again,
What about Job?Satan’s goal wasn’t to ruin Job’s life. If that was his goal he achieved it! Satan’s goal was to attack Job’s mind and discourage him mentally so that he would “curse God and die.” How do we recognize a satanic attack on our minds? I will tell you more in tomorrow’s post. I’ll give you a hint, the armor of God is the key! If you want to know how to recognize and resist satanic attacks join us this Friday and Saturday in Mundelein, Illinois. I will be teaching our Stand Firm Seminar that covers this and much more. Click here for more details and to register. Do you have a question? Please leave it below.
