The devil's greatest victory, struggle or aim is to shut your eyes, because it doesn't matter how strong you are, if you do not see, you cannot aim nor fight.
When the enemies of Samson, the might man, caught him, they gauged out his eyes because they were not able to tame him due to his strength. (Judges 13)
The devil knows that there is great strength in you, so he removes your sight for you not to know where you are, who your enemy is, in which direction your problem comes nor whom to attack.
This is why today we fire prayers at the wrong target. Open eyes are valuable to avoid this.
(The Throne – The Greatest Blessing)
What is your greatest blessing? Whenever the devil battles with Christians, he's fighting for them to lose what he lost, which is The Throne of GOD, and share his eternal condemnation. The devil was once an angel, of a high degree, who was quite close to GOD.
When the Bible, in the book of Revelations 12:4, speaks about a dragon that swept a third of the stars, it simply refers to the devil. The devil was in heaven; however due to rebellion was cast out of the presence of GOD down into the pit beneath the earth's surface, which is hell. Satan understands that he will never be forgiven, and will never stand in the presence of GOD. Whenever satan sees Christians, before The Throne, in the presence of GOD, where he was once before, he becomes envious.
(The Aim of the Devil –Doubting GOD's Existence)
Behind each challenge, devised by the devil, is this underlying question: Is GOD with you? If yes, why did He allow temptations into your life? Can someone who really loves you let all these bad things happen to you? Does GOD see me? As he questions you further, satan wants you to doubt the existence of GOD in order to overthrow your position before GOD. Satan is aware of your service before GOD in your respective field. The devil is aware of what it means to be before The Throne, in GOD's presence, sheltered by the privileges that come with being a Christian. Everything he does against you is to derail and overthrow your position as a child of GOD. The devil does not afflict to kill; he understands that one day you will pass on. He however wants you to doubt the existence of GOD in order to spoil your salvation. As a Christian it is wise to have room in your heart for trials and challenges. To confess that GOD is unchanging and absolute as your provider, your blesser and redeemer, regardless of your current circumstances, deters the attempts of the devil to mislead you from your greatest blessing which is The Throne where Glory, Majesty, Power and Light is. When we direct our prayers to the fruits of The Throne, we begin to lose focus and we give the devil an opportunity to tamper with our path to GOD.
(Example - Repentance)
Picture The Throne of GOD, the very presence of GOD, a place where His Glory is rich and plentiful. Then picture yourself very far from it, living in sin and in ignorance with no regard to GOD and His Way of Life. Then you receive the word of salvation from the mouth of GOD. This word comes in many forms; GOD can use any medium to channel His message. He may give you understanding through a vision or dream; He may use a servant of GOD or let you go through affliction and challenges to bring to near to Him. In this scenario you are facing The Throne, where Glory, Grace, Majesty and Power is. The devil was once before The Throne and knows very well what it means to be a child of GOD. He understands what he lost and that where he is cannot ever compare to the Glory he lost where he was because he is now in darkness contrary to light, power contrary to powerlessness and glory contrary to shame.
