The enemy finds opportune time to war against the Kingdom of God. Since you are in Christ, you become the target. But the more you think it's about you, the more you can't see victory.
The war is not against you, but against the Kingdom of God. The enemy wants to make it personal so that you get affected and even discouraged. In other words, he will make the events/incidents personal to you, so that you forget about the Kingdom.
I'm going to start something in a day. I have committed to it.
Last night, all of a sudden, I felt a very familiar and sharp pain at the back near my pelvic. I could hardly get up from my bed to go to the bathroom.
My first thought was, "This is not possible. Because I was already healed so many years ago."
The next immediate thought was, "There is nothing new under the sun. The enemy can't stop me."
I didn't rebuke the enemy. I didn't command him to leave. I simply submitted to God and thanked Him.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - James 4:7
You don't resist the devil by resisting him. You submit to God. The power to resist comes from your submission to who God is.
I fell asleep and had a dream. In the dream, I was witnessing to two staff at Starbucks, through healing and word of knowledge. Then I was sharing my healing testimony and the Gospel of the Kingdom to one of them.
I woke up from my sleep. All the symptoms disappeared. I just shook my butt (against the devil) in front of my wife as I shared with her what happened. And I reminded her, "Warfare is real. We don't take life as it is."
The kingdom of darkness wars against the Kingdom of God. You and I happen to stand in the way. But do not take it personal. Submit to God as His Kingdom is way bigger and way more powerful, compared to the minions.
If you get hit, you advance the Kingdom harder. You don't draw back or waste time resisting the devil. Because submitting to God will automatically cause him to flee.
