People hurt you and tried to bring you down, they thought you were done for. But you rose up again and again. The people you thought were supposed to help you hurt you. The people who you thought was supposed to love you, envied and hated you.
All you were trying to do was love others and do good. And you can’t understand why people would want to hurt you for doing good to them. They wanted to take you down, they told others not to help you or to stay away from helping you. They said bad things about you behind your back.
King David said that it was better for an enemy to hurt him rather than someone he trusted like a brother.
Psalm 55:12-14
For it is not an enemy who insults me;
that I could endure.
It is not a foe who rises against me;
from him I could hide.
But it is you, a man like myself,
my companion and close friend.
We shared sweet fellowship together;
The Bible gives us insight into this, that it is not necessarily a man or woman but evil and wicked things in high places. The challenging part is to discern the difference between the man or woman or the spirit. How do you address the issue without damaging the man or woman?
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 KJV
Many people are hurt because of the ability of these demonic spirits to manipulate, coerce, even control people to hurt people who are doing good in their lives. These people often come into your life as sheep in wolf’s clothing. the Bible tells us that the evil one comes as an angel of light. He pretends to be someone good but in reality he is just an evil pretentious being. Don’t be fooled by these demonic entities in people.
But how do you discern whether the person is truly good or just pretending to be good. It is difficult because they will go to great lengths to fool you. Creating false paperwork, documents, testimonies to prove to you that they are good and trustworthy, when in fact they are lying to you. And when they do have foothold into your life or business that is when they are capable of doing greater harm to you, emotionally, financially, physically, and spiritually.
There is a battle for souls going on in the world. The ones who are wary and knowledgeable will be able to survive and win. It is important that you are not complacent or lazy, that is when the enemy does its most damage. They lull you into submission and lead you to destruction. I was thinking about the millions who died in the holocaust where there are pictures of people just standing in line to be slaughtered. I wondered what would have happened if everyone of them had fought there hardest together. I think they would have been able to change their destiny.
In this battle for your destiny, fight the good fight and win. Stay diligent, stay alert, be strong in the Lord and you will be able to win and help others to win.
Lord, I pray that people are discerning and aware of what is happening in the world today. What may seem pleasant may be a lure into the trap of the devil, the schemers, the evil ones that want to lull you into complacency and submission. I pray that people will stay alert and fight for love and justice. I pray that your people will be prayerful and keep themselves and their loved ones from sin. I ask this in your Son’s precious name, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen.
