The devil can manipulate our emotions as another sister wrote about today on another post. He can also make us happy about things that should make us sad or convicted.
The devil can make us hate those we should love and love those who dishonor and hate God.
The devil can bring about situations that confuse us, so much so we don't know which way to turn or what to do.
HOWEVER, the good news is that we don't have to be manipulated by the devil, we can pray for wisdom, ask God to change our confused heart and begin to live for Him. The devil will never stop trying but his efforts come to nothing because Christ in us defeats his plans.
We must stop allowing the devil to have a foothold in our lives by acting impotent and beggarly in terms of our spiritual strength. Christ is our strength, what more would we need than that!!!!!
1 John 4:3-5 "…3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is already in the world at this time. 4 You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.…"
Matthew 5:6 "6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.…"
