Guard yourselves!

I have come to realize that things happen for a reason! People are placed in your life for a reason! It is awesome to see how even the people that have been sent for your destruction can be beneficial to you! I am slowly learning that not everyone has your best interest in mind! I have been to gullible in my walk with God! Some people are out to learn who you are and how you feel and then use it against you! And that is completely ok! Because it is all a part of the growing process! God loves us all...even the people that are being used by Satan! But he also knows the intent of mans heart and He will try to help us realize that everyone doesn't think like we do. The Bible even tells us to be as wise as serpents, and as harmless as a dove! The WISE part is what we lack alot of times! I feel like I am wise but then I look back and see how unwise I have been with sharing my heart with people that I really do not know and assuming the best about everyone! I feel like over time that innocence has to be lost! We have to get to a place where we truly realize that this demonic stuff is real and that the devil is out to destroy us! Jesus even said that Satan desires to sift us as wheat and that he truly does! I have seen lately how Satan is working all around us! He is trying to pick off people around me one by one! But thankfully the rest of that scripture...Jesus says..."But I have prayed for you that your faith would fail you not!" So Through all that the devil tr to do to destroy us we must press on! We must continue this walk with God! Having done all to stand...still STAND! If you are living the life that God wants you to live the devil is going to come after you! He hates you and wants to knock you off your foundation of Jesus! He wants to make things seem so bad that you no longer follow Jesus! Well in all things still follow God! It will be worth it! That scripture where some guys came to the demon possessed people and tried to cast them out and the demons responded with "Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?" and they beat them up and threw them in a ditch! I sure hope that if we confronted a devil that they wouldn't respond to us like this! Its almost exciting that the attack against us increases in strength, because that shows that the devil views us as a threat! (Not us but who we are in Christ) So count it all joy brethren! God is in control! However guard yourselves, because the devil desires to sift us as wheat!! Be cautious of people who come in sheep's clothing but inside are ravenous wolves! God Bless! Pray to the good Lord for the gift of Discernment because we WILL need it in these last days!!
