The attacker''s workings

                        The attacker's workings    

We have been talking about spiritual warfare; the armour (Spiritual,God's armour), recognizing the attack... our focus mainly was on the one being attacked.  That is the one who is being beat-up if you will;  the one who is the recipient of the attack.  

 Now I would like to take our focus to another victim of the attack.  Stay with me for the attack can have many victims!  But now it is time to look at another victim; some might have a hard time with this one.  So to let's keep our focus to the Church,  the Christian.  Now just like before Satin attacks are directed toward anyone;  the weak, the strong, the new believer, the mature believer, old young the list goes on.  

  This attack is direct toward the one who says those bad things, or directs bad behavior.  The verse that comes to mind is Luke 17:1-6 and  Matt. 18:1-6.  Causing little ones to fall, this does not mean only children or we can go there; remember we are children of God, in Christ Jesus.  Some times our words are not our words that is the enemy found an opening to do his work.  Here is the thing if our focus is not totally on God and is on our self or works or busyness... Or if sin even the littlest sin Satin will exploit anything he can to do his crafty work.  

  Remember in Eph. 6:12 We do not wrestle against flesh and blood.  Most attacks come from people.  Now let's take away bad communication, miss understanding... even though Satin can use that and if he does read keep on reading. Now to the direct attack the words are clear; we are not talking about confronting sin.  Words that demean, words that insult, words that eaccuse, words that put down, words that judge, bad words, bad phrases; words that are not edifying.  Seriouly this does happen even to the best of us, I'm not talking about the one hearing but the one saying.  The attacker has attacked you!  Just like he attacked the one these words were addressed to.  You need to put on the armour, recognize were the weekness is and reinforce it and correct it;  then fix the problem.  That is go to your brother/sister. The enemy is here to kill,steal and destroy!   He uses any means he can.  But Christ Brings Peace Healing Restores   Forgiveness is powerfull both need to practice this asking and giving Read Roman 14:13
