Closet Christians Are Getting Picked Off by The Enemy, Get Out The Closet and Fight!

Be alert and on your guard, standing firm in your faith. We are in the army of the Lord, like it or not. We as Christians have been marked by the enemy. There’s a fallen angel named Lucifer who was kicked out of heaven, now called the devil. He was God’s right hand man before iniquity was found in him (Isaiah 14:12-17). Having gotten the holy beat down from heaven to earth, he’s not happy. He can’t get to God in any way but he’s allowed to come after us (for God’s faith training program). Because Adam and Eve gave him the authority by obeying him when they ate the forbidden fruit. So we must be on guard at all times. Now if you are acting like the devil in your normal behavior, and the way you treat people, then the devil’s just hugging you tighter and tighter, he hates you a little less because you’re not a threat to him. Being a mature Christian who knows his authority in Christ will cut the devil with the sword of the spirit which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:13-17). Act like men and women with backbone, be courageous and grow in strength as the Lord commands in this text today. Because of Jesus’ work at Calvary we now have the authority and power to keep Satan at bay and to make him flee from us (James 4:7), but if we are ignorant of God’s power in us, the enemy will have us on the run. Be on guard and stand firm, you got this so act like.
