Leaders, be Aware of the Tactics Of the Enemy

I didnt know how this was going to end up coming forth, but Im even contemplating writing a book even though my flesh doesnt want to, but its not about what I feel like doing, its all about God getting his word out to his people before his soon return. Yes, his soon return You see??? The enemy wants us to get caught up with the rest of the world thinking that we can have time so once we feel like its alright and that we got it made, we will find ourselves drifting off into the world; doing things of the world all the while still saying that we are pleasing God. Yes, we may get in situations; and we may find ourselves wallowing in it by compromising and telling ourselves that its okay, but long as we wallow ourselves right on out of it; thats the most important thing because the Holyghost never leaves us in darkness. We can try to justify it and make it seem appealing and all the while the Holyghost is telling us it is sin. The enemy knows our weakness. He knows what used to rattle our flesh before we got saved. If your weakness is a man or a woman, hell send them at a time out of season and out of sync with Gods will for your life. The enemys objective right now for leaders is

for us to be weakened, asleep, and intoxicated with the things of the world so that no one will stand strong for God. The enemy wants to make sure that you that is professing to be an evangelist, apostle, prophet, teacher, pastor, etcget a reputation so that nobody wants to hear anything that you have to say. Discern the tactics of the enemy and start shutting satan down. God has a will and a purpose for each of our lives and it is he that will bring whatever he desires for us to have in its time and season. God doesnt want you caught up in worrying about your life and what you dont have. Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and all these things will be added unto us. It doesnt matter if were the pastor over a church, running a mega ministry, teaching a room full of people on Sunday mornings etcwe are not exempt from temptation. Eve was not exempt from being tempted by satan, so neither are we. God never told us that we wouldnt be tempted and tried, but its when we fall into temptation that we fall into sin and with sin in our lives we will not be able to tell one person anything about Jesus because we do not have a credible witness. Close the door on satan beloved and stop giving place to him. Satans goal is to try and discredit you by assimilating your character and discrediting your ministry and name. Realize that we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities; against powers; against the rulers of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. I simply did not know the importance of really wearing the armor of God until I was

in the trial that I just came out of it. While in that trial the Holyghost revealed so much to me that I never knew before I entered into it so thats why we should thank God for trials and tribulations, but if we never learn anything while in them, then we will never come to maturity in Christ and we will always be falling into snares and traps. There is so much that I would like to say in this message, but the basics pointers are addressed. Leaders, you are in the world, but not of the world. You are bearing the testimony of Jesus Christ if you are indeed his minister of righteousness, because satan also has his ministers too. We are the temple of the Holyghost and we should be filled with the spirit. Discern your atmosphere and the motives of those that are approaching you. It doesnt matter how high you think you are, it doesnt exempt any of us from falling.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;* Ephesians 5:18

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.* Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2nd Corinthians 11:1415

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.* 1st Corinthians 10:12-13
