And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:17 )
The devil tries to trap those who carry the spirit of God. He gets upset once one has accepted the light, trying to pull one back into darkness. This is akin to the children of Israel, who escaped from Egypt while Pharaoh pursued them relentlessly, determined to reclaim them as slaves. Yet, once one has the Spirit of God within themselves, that person is forever protected—no one can dislodge them from this divine protection. God will protect you and fight for you.
It matters that you remain steadfast in following the leading of the Spirit. The Israelites were led through the wilderness instead of a shortcut to Palestine because He knew they would probably change their minds and return to Egypt (Exodus 13:17). God’s rescue is forever; there is no return. God has a divine intention to make you His own forever.
As God’s children, we are mandated to bring those in darkness into the light and deliver those captive to Satan. This is why the enemy is coming for you (Acts 26:17). If you’re consistent in the Spirit, the devil will be restrained. Instead of praying against him, our strength is in being consistent in the Spirit so that God can answer his attacks. As Jesus had numerous adversaries, you, too, will have challenges.
It must be remembered that Satan may not approach you personally; instead, he can utilize individuals surrounding you to divert your attention from your purpose. The good news is that he cannot snatch you away from God since you are His forever; however, he can attempt to lead you away from doing your God-given mission.
Prayer/Confession
I praise the Lord for the special protection that has been given to me. I am acutely conscious of being summoned to reach out to the world, and I hold fast to the victory already gained over the enemy. I know that Satan tries to divert my attention from the primary tasks that have been assigned to me, but I resolve to remain on track. I trust that your Spirit will continually remind me to stay on purpose and to fulfill my mission with clarity and confidence.
