10 Weapons The devil Uses To Cause You To Miss The Will Of God (part 4 of 5)
7. Doubt – Faith is what pleases God. When we are fulfilling the will of God we are active in our faith. The devil often uses doubt as a weapon to get you out of the will of God. Anything that interrupts our faith transaction is likely to fall under the category of doubt. Either we believe God and what He said or we don’t. If we believe 99%, there is doubt. Doubt can obliterate a faith transaction. Doubt is intimidating because doubt gets it’s legs when we begin considering the circumstances… especially when they are contrary to what we think is supposed to be happening. Doubt is an easy weapon to use for the devil. With so much bad news all the time, it’s easy to become cynical, untrusting of people, and negative. All of these things find their origin in doubt. Doubt tells the Lord, we don’t believe Him and what He said. Easy to see how that gets us out of the will of God.
8. Resistance - When we work out with weights, there is a resistance we must push ourselves through in order to become stronger. Why is it when the devil throws at us some different types of resistance do we not attribute it to a spiritual workout for becoming stronger? When we encounter resistance, we need to remember, it is the Lord who is allowing this “thing”. Or is it us allowing the “thing”, the resistance to control us and adjust our course? Rather, we need to acknowledge the resistance and exercise our spiritual muscles to become stronger. A physical workout is intended to make us stronger and healthier. A spiritual workout works the same way. Don’t let the devil use the resistance to weaken and defeat you. Use the resistance as a tool to become stronger. I like to classify resistance as…. this MUST mean I am on the right course and in God’s will. I actually look for the resistance now.
