Thursday 10.20.11

A well-laid out plan is carefully devised by preparation, careful thought and execution.  In this same way Satan carefully devises plan of destruction in our life.  He is never in a hurry and takes his time.  He never overwhelm us with noticeable, powerful desires.  He usually starts with small things, little dissastifactions, small desires and builds from there.  The enemy’s desire is to reap total destruction and devastation in our marriages, homes, jobs, and churches.  The good news is there is One who can diminish every evil plan Satan has.  God is our Rock, Refuge and our Strong Tower.  We have to pray for protection and not allow Satan to have any place in our thoughts.  We are to take captive every thought and bring into obedience to the Lord.  Spiritual warfare is real and it is raging all around us.  Put on the full armor (God’s word) every day diminish the arrows that Satan shoots at us everyday. 
 
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  2 Corinthians 10:4-5
