The Enemy Is A Foul Play Enemy- He Pries on Our Mistakes, Stay On Guard!
‘Satan is considered fully aware of spiritual and scriptural truths, often portrayed as understanding the consequences of actions, such as the power of faith and destiny. However, this “awareness” is within a theological context, not in a human legal framework, as Satan is not a recognized legal entity. Satan is aware of how spiritual vision and faith can impact a believer’s destiny’.-Literature
When the enemy commanded Jesus to turn stones to bread, the devil knew that, the word of God must supersede our physical hunger. In effect our hunger for the things of God must supersede what our body craves for. Again the enemy knew that, the scriptures have their spiritual understanding and that, they mustn’t be viewed from the physical perspective. Yet, he told Jesus to throw himself down from the high mountain for God gives his angels charges over us- our protection.
Also the enemy knew that, he cannot give the world that Jesus gave to him back to the Savior yet he tested Jesus in his moment of frailty. Be reminded that, the enemy will come to test you in your moment of weakness. He will question you on the truth you already know. If you forget who you are or lose consciousness, you can sell your right or knowledge to him. And so Satan is not ignorant of the spiritual and bible truths. He is very knowledgeable of the word of God and that is why he can misquote the bible. If you’re too confused and lack focus, you will obey him before you realize.
Just as God knows the end from the beginning, the enemy also knows the consequences of our actions. The devil knows that, you are like this therefore to get you to fall, he will come from this perspective. In fact the enemy knows for you, you will definitely fall. The end of some believers are determined even before the battle begins. Be strong and vigilant therefore for your enemy, the adversary is moving around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8).
The devil knows that you will be arrested and put in prison before it happened so be guided by your spirit, determining what is wrong and right so you can escape the trap of the devil or be a winner where necessary. ‘These things God has revealed to us by His Spirit’ (I Corinthians 2:10). The enemy knows the consequences but God has given us foreknowledge by His spirit to avoid dangers and to desire and have great expectations of the good things in store for us.
The enemy also knows your grade in Christianity and the ones with great destinies, He comes hard at them. Do you know that, if you’re made a deliverer to humanity, the enemy will come after your life? Yes, this is a fact. It will come with a lot of test and trials. This is all in the preparation and readiness for the task God has for you. Remember it was after Jesus had fasted and prayed in readiness for his ministry that the enemy came testing Him. The storm hit Jesus’s boat on the sea on his way to deliver the man in the tombs because the victim had great destiny. Anytime you see a man possessed, the demons have occupied the place where Christ should inhabit for his assignment. Destiny people see turbulence. If your life is one trouble after the other, it is a sign that you’re marked for something big. If the problems don’t seem to be going away, it’s because you carry something big. The devil’s plan is just to frustrate you knowing too well that he cannot change your destiny.
The literature explained that, the devil’s information he has about the believer is only on biblical and spiritual context. However, he has not been given any legal mandate to suppress the believer to any suffering for instance. It’s when the individual loses his faith or relinquishes his authority to the devil that the enemy receives the right to oppress him. The devil’s attack on the believer is deemed to be unlawful. However the devil is not ignorant that, the scriptures represents the divine acceptable laws from above and therefore the believer’s success is based on the word of God.
The enemy knows that, the believer is meant to shortfall if he does not apply the word of God and so his ultimate aim is to ensure that the believer errs in his application of God’s word. He will go to God and say, ‘he has not fulfilled these conditions so he doesn’t deserve this’. Or he has violated this law so I will unleash evil judgment on him. That is how the enemy confronted God on the issue of Job. The devil knows God’s laws and uses it against us when we offend God but he’s not been blindly given any legal mandate to oppress any believer. He pointed Job’s error as not fearing God for nothing. On that basis if you think is the wealth, take away his family and take away his belongings. God allows the enemy’s foul play trials on those He can boast of even when their rightfully deserved rewards are taken away.
