From Apply God's Word Video:
"1. A person with demonic influence will use lies that lead to unrighteous living.
2. A person with demonic influence will be marked by never-ending conflict.
3. A person with demonic influence will do whatever they can to distract you and pull you away from God.
4. A person with demonic influence will seek to diminish your love for other people." Unquote
Expect to have every trick leveled against you if you are walking with Christ, AND expect those doing it to be those you might have expected to love you.
Drama is a favored tactic of the devil. people becoming irritated and even angry over the silliest things that could normally be easily ignored or should have been no problem at all.
The purpose of these attacks of silly drama is to distract us from God. The devil wants to drag us into nonsense that will ruin our character or our influence as believers.
If your walk with Christ has been diminished when in company with those who love their drama and superior attitude it is time to limit time with them if not total no-contact.
Those who love Christ and walk on the same path with us will encourage us to love others in God's way. They will not be constantly questioning everything to find out what to criticize but will share in love their thoughts openly to encourage in the ways of God.
It is important to remember that modern Christianity trains its people they must never walk away from someone, but Christ tells us in His word those people we should walk away from.
2 Timothy 3:1-5, Proverbs 22:24-25. Proverbs 17:4, Psalm 1, Proverbs 4:14, Proverbs 16:17-33.
