Last time we talked about Chaos. Satan wants to introduce
chaos into your life. Once you start looking for answers, he wants to offer you
a solution. A solution designed to cause you to have more serious problems, pain
and suffering. Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness for your solution
to your problems. God wants the best for you. Today we are going to look at the
second of the 3CS: Conflict.
According to the
dictionary, conflict means a serious disagreement of argument typically an
extended one. An incompatibility between 2 or more opinions, principles or
interest. God’s principles and interest is the complete opposite of Satan’s.
Thus, this is where the disagreements come in. What God wants you to do and
Satan wants you to do is different. What God says is the absolute truth. What
Satan says is an absolute lie. Last time in my blog about chaos Satan asked Eve,
“Did God say this?” Satan is introducing conflict between what God said and
what Satan wants you to believe. He wants to create a conflict between you and
God. He will ask you questions and remind you of the current state that you’re
in. He’ll remind you about your past history. He’ll remind you about trouble in
your marriage, finances, family to name a few. He’ll ask you “Well if God loves
you, why don’t he do something. Why would he want you to suffer? I thought you said that you’re blessed?” He’ll
even quote you bible verses to try and create conflict. “If it says this in the
bible, why isn’t it happening to you?” Please remember who the enemy is, his
tactics and methods. He wants to distract you so that you’re not staying
connected to God. Whatever type of
weakness you have in your life, that’s where Satan wants to attack. For example
if you’re suffering from an illness, Satan will attack at this point. “Well God
heals people so he MIGHT heal you if he feels like it.” “It sure is taking an
awful long time for God to heal you.” “Why don’t you try what I have instead?” “Even if he heals you, things won’t be the
same.” Satan will continue to try and
attack until you do something about it. Let’s look at the God u said it verse
of the day.
In James 4:7 (NIV) it states, Submit yourselves, then, to
God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. This verse says it all. You
need to submit yourselves to God. Don’t listen or take part in the conflict
Satan is trying to cause. Resist Satan
and he will see that he’s wasting his time with you. Satan would be better off
going to somebody else. You must keep Satan out of your life as much as
possible. Keep your focus and attention on God. There’s no conflict with him
when it comes to the truth and what’s best for your life. Satan is a liar. Next time we’ll talk about the last of the
3CS’ confusion. Until then, may God continue to bless you and keep you.
