The Enemy is our enemy, not those under his influence. Jesus prayed for those who persecuted him, knowing that they were deceived by the Evil One. Our true enemy is the evil one and his minions and we must pray for all those under the influence of evil. Pray for those who do evil and say they are doing good. They have been deceived.
Understanding the tactics of the evil one and his messengers is of great value, because it helps us reject the lies and deceptions spewed out at us. Sometimes these lies come from individuals and are directed directly at us, and sometimes the lies are more universal, coming through the media, the culture and even the government.
Be assured that the closer you get to God, the more you will be attacked. But do not be afraid. Identify any personal, social, cultural or even governmental attack for what it is. Have confidence and do not be deterred as you seek to follow Christ more completely every day. #GospelToday
