Today I remind you that we live on an active battlefield every minute of our earthly lives. Not only is there a cosmic war swirling around us…
There Is a War
Swirling Within Us
Satan and his army of demons are the ultimate terrorist insurgency. They are able to always creep around us unnoticed because they are absolutely silent and completely invisible.
Yet they are more deadly to our spiritual lives than any truck bomber or suicide vest. Yet their invisibility and silence make them often ignored. That is why Paul tells us “Don’t Ignore the Devil”!
Don’t yield any ground in your life to the Devil by ignoring him.
Nothing in life is neutral, nothing in life is harmless. Everything in life is either for God or against Him. Everything is either promoting God’s Glory or opposing it. Nothing is neutral when it comes to God; never forget that as you assess the daily patterns and habits of your life.
Right in the middle of dealing with the person who was disciplined by the Corinthian Church for sin, that needed to be forgiven and taken back into fellowship, Paul adds a powerful warning—don’t ignore the devil. He will use any avenue we leave unguarded to attack and neutralize our lives. Please open to 2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. (NKJV)
2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that no advantage be taken of us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes. (NAS)
2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. (NIV)
Don’t ignore the Devil!
(19Isaiah-06)
