Ok, brothers, here´s one more thread about the enemy.
Maybe some of you may find this strange, but personally, besides knowing how one can protect from him, I´d like to know how he does things to harms us, more that what he can do. After all, we are in the middle of a war!
The enemy tempts, lies, deceives, kills, accuses, oppresses, etc. Basically, "...the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8
So, my questions are:
1) - How does the enemy attack us?
- For instance, how does he tempts us to do sexual immorality? Does he implants the desire to have sex with another person that he also acted, making then easier to things happen? Or the only thing he does is to give us the "push" we need to sin?
- He rejoices with our suffering. So, how does he lies, accuses and oppresses us? By implanting thoughts in our minds?
2) - This may be the hardest to figure out...that situation we think: "Are this bad thoughts, sadness, etc, coming for me, or from the enemy?"
Thank you!
God bless you!
