I have mentioned before that nearly every Christian I know is going through some difficulty right now. I don’t know if it is because Satan is increasing his efforts against Christians because he knows his time is getting short, or if it is because we are becoming more obedient to God’s calling. The enemy doesn’t care if we attend church on Sunday or even read the Bible, but when we live out our faith by drawing closer to God and making advances in our mission as His children, the enemy will do everything he can to distract us or block our way.
My most recent problem began about ten days ago when for the first time in more than five years I was unable to post my blog to my website. I am using a new laptop and there was a new update of WordPress on my website, but none of that should have caused this sudden roadblock. I’m just a writer, not a tech guy, but even my friend who designed my website was stumped. Yesterday, after spending time in prayer, I spent nearly an hour on the phone with WordPress tech support and I was able to post a blog on my website; Today they called to say they had found more problems between my computer and WordPress on my website that they would correct for a fee. I’m hoping I will be able to post this blog to my website this evening.
What should your reaction be when you face an attack from the enemy? First, you should give thanks to God that you’re accomplishing enough in His service that you are drawing the enemy’s attention and his resistance. Next, you need to remember that He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world., (See 1 John 4:4) Make sure you have the full armor of God to quench the fiery darts of the enemy, (Ephesians 6:10-18) Finally, you must continue moving forward as God clears the way for you. Keep your eyes on the prize and your attitude positive as God fights your battles for you. .
