To be attacked is a compliment

To be attacked is a complement. I'm not saying that actually physically being attacked is a good thing,  but to be pounced on by the enemy shows that you are a threat to his reign on the earth.   Us humans have nothing special or extraordinary about us, but we do have an extraordinary God who shines through us. Satan hates this. Our God who is all-powerful, death could not hold Him down.                                                                                                                            This gives me hope when I personally experience Satan and his demons.   Although my flesh is terrified, I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that my God is right there with me.  He is conquering everything that Satan is. When Satan instills fear within me at night I remember that, "Perfect love drives out fear." 1 John.                                                                                     My dad said once that we give the devil too much credit than what he is worth.  It is almost as if we put him on a platform and make him much bigger than what he is.  When he knows you are scared of him, he uses that as a foothold to overwhelm you. We truely need to remember that he is just a lion without teeth.  He has not power over us anymore. No more can he torment us, abuse us, use us, we are the children of the living God. We have perfect love in us, through us, over us, and under us. Satan cannot come near us in Jesus name.
