The enemies job is to stop us and ours is to not allow him to do this. Life is so hard and at times gets even harder, this is why God said put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We have learned that God is truth from experience. I'm 49 and have been through hell, now living with Heaven. Those who are saved will understand this saying. We must not play with God or Christianity. Demons are real and before I was saved I played Church like many and when I did I was attacked constantly by demons. I'm not saying this to scare you, I want to help someone through my experiences. Sometimes these attacks would be physical and the only way I
escaped was through prayer. Don't let anyone steal your godly inheritance, many will try, and distractions will come, but focus on the Lord.
LET'S WIN!

sadly often the conflict comes from within the body of Christ . We really tear one another down over the smallest differences but it causes strife and gives the devil a foothold for grudge bearing and what not. And it seems we miss the great commonalities we have when we believe the Bible is true and Jesus is lord.

I enjoyed your post and find a lot of agreement

Be sober, be vigilant;

because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:8-9

amen to that !!that is what he especially does through the gospel

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:3-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:22-25‬ ‭

“O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:9-11‬ ‭

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

…My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:14-16, 27-30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:45‬ ‭

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

may all who seek his word find the center and grand design in simplicity of putting thier faith in Jesus Christ and his everlasting word

One of the problems is our fleshly reaction when others don't agree with us. It feels like a personal attack when it is only someone saying they understand something in a different way. Then they change the subject into personal enemy talk.

If we listened to the holy spirit within us then we would hear the Lord saying that we should make friends with our enemies, to say nothing of someone who only gives a different viewpoint.

In the book of Galatians we read that there was a disagreement between Peter and Paul. When a topic about the Lord came up we are told in the book of Isaiah: 1:18 "Come on now, let's discuss this!" says the LORD".

Discussions should not be fighting.

Amen and amen !!

we can have different thoughts and just be two People discussing the lord and his word who both believe but understand a bit differently we aren’t enemies just because we disagree about some details but we are brethren because we believe

when we start insulting and accusing and turning it into something carnal is when things become unfruitful otherwise we could just do this and grow closer together in faith and more mature in Christ

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;

teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬
