Signs that Satan Is After You
The devil is the craftiest creature that has ever existed since time immemorial. Remember he is not your agemate, neither is he your relative, he existed long before you did, so you can imagine how tactful he is. The Bible even records of his existence REVELATION 12:9,,the great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent the devil
The devil is indeed a liar and his main target is that born again Christian. He knows his time is short and he is filled with fury for having been hurled down Heaven. One thing you ought to know is that the devil will never appear to you with those fierce looks he is usually portrayed with, you will surely run away.
The devil is so much interested in you who is born again,, you are Hus targeted prey and he is running after you at a very terrific speed. I am not trying to scare you away, far be it from that, I just want to keep you on the watch so that when one day “the saints go marching in “you will surely be among the numbers.
So as alluring as he is, the devil devises all kinds of entices to trap you. He comes very slowly, walking stealthily as a cat and by the time you are realizing it you are already in the trap, then mission accomplished for him (devil).Mostly, the devil starts by preventing you from reaching the source of light (Word of God)He also separates you from brethren. He confines you in this one room and he now begins to manipulate you as he wishes, you become his captive.
All this begin with something very minute like not praying or going for fellowship as you used to.
When this happens, the devil is ready with a whole lot of excuses that you have to give. You find yourself not willing to go for prayers, fellowships and you tend to think it’s normal. My dear friend, this calls for attention, where exactly are you drifting away ?Why all these excuses? You are treading on a dangerous path. You need to come back.
Moreover, Satan may sometimes prevent you from reading the word yourself. Reading this word helps us to understand God’s purpose for you.
The greatest desire of my heart is to see all of us emerging as champions having run the race well. This is very possible, the devil is forever under us, we have been given the power over him through prayer and the word.Brethren,conquering the devil is possible, I choose to win. Do you??
One of the most sobering facts about life is that all humans have a supernatural enemy whose aim is to use pain and pleasure to make us blind, stupid, and miserable — forever. The Bible calls him “the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world . . . the accuser” (Revelation 12:9–10), “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31), and “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4).
He is our “adversary [who] prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Yet, in the most appalling and unwitting bondage, the whole world willingly “follows the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). At his most successful, his subjects march obliviously to destruction, and take as many with them as they can.
The “good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18) that I wrote about under the title “Awake and at War” includes the daily resistance of this enemy (1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7), the daily refusal to give him an opportunity (Ephesians 4:27), and the daily stand against his schemes (Ephesians 6:11).
Resist!
James says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you!” (James 4:7). How do we do that? Here is how they did it according to Revelation 12:11: “They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” They embraced the triumph of Christ by his blood. They spoke that truth in faith. They did not fear death. And they triumphed.
The New Testament highlights prayer as the pervasive accompaniment of every battle. “Take . . . the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication” (Ephesians 6:17–18).
“Do not be outwitted by Satan. God sees behind enemy lines and tells us all we need to know to not be ignorant of Satan’s designs.”
As the close of this age draws near, and Satan rages, Jesus calls us to wartime prayer: “Watch at all times, prayingthat you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:36). Similarly, Peter makes an urgent call to end-time prayer: “The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers” (1 Peter 4:7).
Even Jesus fought against the devil on our behalf with the weapon of prayer. He said to Peter in Luke 22:31–32, “Satan has asked to have you that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail.” So Jesus illustrates for us the opposition of a specific satanic threat with prayer.
And, of course, Jesus instructed us to make prayer a daily weapon for protection in general: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:13). That is, deliver us from the successful temptation of the evil one. Do you confront the designs of the devil with the focused and determined power of prayer?
No Neutral Zone
The question is not whether you want to be in this war. Everyone is in it. Either we are defeated by the devil and thus following, like cattle to the slaughter, “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2), or we are resisting — “resist him, firm in your faith!” (1 Peter 5:9).
There is no neutral zone. You either triumph “by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony,” or you will be enslaved by Satan. Therefore, “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:3), and “wage the good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18). Pray without ceasing!
The Lord Jesus is no less a warrior today than in the days of old. So I urge you again: Come to him as willing soldiers of the Prince of Peace and learn to say, “He trains my hands for war” (Psalm 144:1).
