What comes to mind when you see the word enemy? Do you know who your enemy is?
What comes to my mind is anyone who is hostile towards me and is out to hurt me on purpose. Our number 1 enemy is Satan. We are in a fight for our mind, our minds control the rest of our body, the mind is the most powerful tool we have.
When I think of a enemy, I think of a boxing fight, a football game, etc. In boxing the boxer takes time and studies his opponent to know how he moves, throw punches, etc. then he practice to counter attack his opponent, that opponent becomes his enemy in the ring to win what ever the prize is. In a football game, I would think the coaches and players watch other teams play to learn there plays, how each player moves and how the ball is thrown so they can have a plan of attack and win the game and possible go to the super bowl.
Our enemy is no different then the opponent in a fight or game, our enemy does not fight us physical but he fights us in our minds. Our enemy will bombarding our minds with well thought out patterns of irritation, dissatisfaction, nagging thoughts, doubts, fears, these are brought on slowly. Our enemy is never in a hurry, he takes his time to watch us and learn our pattern so he can know how to introduce those fears, doubt, nagging thoughts, etc.
I John 2:16(AMP) For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh (craving for sensual gratification) and the lust of the eyes (greedy longings of the mind) and the pride of life (assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things)—these do not come from the Father but are from the world (our enemy)
Are you ready to win? if your answer is yes, start by reading the bible to learn how your enemy operate and then change your environment change what you hear, see, listen to and take inventory on who is in your circle, if they are not uplifting you and encouraging your to move forward, change your circle. Our enemy wants us to stay in the same place and not move forward.
I want to encourage you to step away from anything that is hindering you from moving forward, when we don’t move forward our enemy is winning.
Let’s fight back!!!!!
