How the Devil Destroys Faith

One of the ways and perhaps the most effective way the devil works to destroy our faith in these last days is to send people to place pressure on us to disbelieve what God said in His Word.

The devil caused doubt in the mind of Eve, even telling her God was not completely honest with her.

In our day the devil uses people to claim things about God's Word that are not true, leading weak believers into error and even undermining what little faith they have.

Another way the devil distracts believers is to keep their focus on the meaningless and even foolish drama surrounding us in these days of raging insanity.

Politics and fear of what we put into our bodies are two very prominent deceptions making the rounds in "conservative" circles, almost as though there is a spiritual aspect to following certain belief systems associated with these two concerns.

These things are distractions to the gospel. When we know that the most important thing in our lives is what we do with Christ all the other worldly concerns pale in comparison.

Matthew 6:25-27 "25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?

27 And which of you by worrying can add a single day to his life’s span?"

God provides all our needs and He places into political office those whom He decides.

Daniel 2:20-22 "“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. 21 He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 22 He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.…"

Do we believe God or do we allow others to take us down that road of fear and panic?

Proverbs 3:5-6

"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart

And do not lean on your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He will make your paths straight."

Once I realized Christ knew everything full of perfect wisdom, I made the decision to trust only in Him. Then I became free of worry, free of frustration, and free to follow Him, rejecting all the pressure from the culture to do as they do and go where they go. Hallelujah!!!
