10 Weapons The devil Uses To Cause You To Miss The Will Of God (part 3 of 5)
Continuing our study here on 10 weapons the enemy uses to get you out of the will of God. Here are #5 & #6.
5. Stress – One of leading causes of sickness and death is stress. People worry about stuff to the point of making themselves ill. So concerned about things where they cannot control the outcome. Often times the devil will introduce some jacked up thought… something like what another person may think about what you’ve done or are about to do. You begin playing it out in your mind…. the outcome…. what if this, what if that….pretty much outcomes and reactions which you cannot control. Worry can kill you and the devil knows it.
6. Timing – We all know certain things happen at certain times. We live in a world that uses time to measure things, begin and end things. In God’s will on the earth, certain things ought to happen at certain times. We sometimes make the mistake of saying, “Well that didn’t happen, so maybe it’s not God’s will. There is no “MAYBE” with God. We either know or we do not. It is black and white, that simple. His promises are yes and amen. If He said it, then it is. The devil will use some of his other weapons to get you to miss your scheduled opportunity. For example, if he can delay you long enough to miss a bus, then you’ve missed the bus. Why would this happen? Perhaps you’ve gotten an assignment from the Lord. You know He gave you an instruction and you intend to obey and carry it out. So you begin speaking about it and moving to do it. The devil listens to what you’ve been saying. He’s not a mind reader. He only knows what he hears you say. So the devil will use what you’ve said to get one step ahead of you. If you intend use a certain amount of money to get something done for the Lord, the devil could let’s say send you an unexpected expense that would cause you to delay doing what the Lord instructed you to do. Consequently, we miss God’s will. Then we justify it by, “Well, maybe it wasn’t God’s timing.”
