Get behind me, Satan

I can always tell when I'm starting to get closer to the center of God's will for my life.
How, you might ask.
Satan strengthens his attacks.
Instead of his taunting being a dull roar, it becomes a deep bellow.
He tears the thin veil that keeps his attacks at bay, and goes at it full throttle.
He pulls out the big guns, getting at the things that are closest to my heart.
This week he's attacked my heart.
My family.
My major.
My sleep.
My body.
My emotions.
My relationship with God.
When I seek after God, Satan seeks to tear me down in any way possible.

This time, the bad news isn't mine, however. It's his.
The thing is, I'm learning to rely on God's strength and not my own.
I've come to recognize my own weakness and my deep need for God's help in everyday life.
If I'd been relying on myself, I'd be devastated.
Like when you build a tower with building blocks, then knock it over.
Only this time, there was a net to catch all my pieces.

Satan sure is annoying.
I'll give him that.
He's persistent.
He isn't going to give up easily.
But I have my armor.
And I've been training.
Let's go.

2 Corinthians 10:1-6 -->
By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away! I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. 


Ephesians 10:11-16 -->
 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
