My Enemy, Satan

My precious ones, know that Satan is the embodiment of absolute cruelty and hatred. Everything I ever created he hates: he hates his demons, he hates mankind, he hates the Earth from the most delicate flower to the snow capped peaks. He is wroth with hatred. So do not be surprised when Satan’s emissaries often plan and plot occasions of rancour to fall right in the midst of family joy and bring it down. You however do not have to take the bait. If you attend family functions with that in mind, it will help you to avoid the trap that so many fall into that damage family relationships.

When you attend these festivities, the enemy carries a file and an agenda to these functions to cause division, hard feelings and alienation. He has all your buttons and all their buttons mapped out so they will get pushed. If you want to avoid this, go with no other agenda than to love your brother. Don't use these occasions to proselytize if you know they are hostile to the faith. Do not discuss hot topics, let insults roll off your backs like ducks shed water. Don't engage in potentially hot conversations. Walk away or change the subject. Keep everything on a very positive note. Connect with those things you have in common and share. Make them feel honoured and loved, especially if they are scowling at you. Love softens all hearts. It just isn't used as much as it should be. But never use it in a shallow way, always ask Me to fill your heart with love and exercise that love from a place deep within.

Remember that many hurts stem from childhood and were not necessarily your fault. Take into consideration the trials your brother is facing now and be a source of comfort and encouragement. Always be aware that what seem like attacks against you are really coming from a different source, the person who injures you may not even be aware of it, but he is being used by the demons to touch the most vulnerable places in your personality.

If you can keep an objective mind about what is going on, you may succeed in building up that relationship rather than making it worse. Draw away to pray when things seem potentially heated. Pray with your reason and in tongues, for you are not fighting against flesh and blood. Be forgiving of any offenses and make an apology if it is called for.

When you come together with family, My greatest wish is that you solidify good relationships and heal those that are broken. I want you to enjoy your relatives, not feel alienated from them, which is the enemy's agenda. Families were meant to be small communities that held together common bonds and are there for one another in a crisis. The enemy wants to steal and isolate you from each other so he may more easily pick you off.

These lessons can also be applied to the wider world. If you want to withstand attacks from the enemy, come to Me in prayer and praise. Come to me steeped in thanksgiving.

I gave you the perfect format for prayer when I taught you the Our Father. When you say, Our Father who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name, you are claiming that you belong to the family of God, that you acknowledge Him as the source of all that concerns you and as your creator and sole provider. Hallowed be thy Name, in other words you are showing great respect and honor to your creator by elevating His name. His name is holy and never to be used lightly. Thy kingdom come, is your acknowledgement and a prayer that His kingdom be established on this earth, and His will be carried out by you. Not the will of earthly agendas but bringing the kingdom of Heaven to earth with brotherly love, forgiveness and righteousness. Give us this day our daily bread is petitioning Him for the necessities of life, in confidence of His goodness. Forgive us our debts as we forgive others, acknowledges that you do not lead a perfect life, you are prone to sin and error and at the same time, in the same measure you will forgive others as you too have been forgiven by me. Lead us not into temptation but protect and deliver us from evil, expresses your desire to stay holy and not consort with evil. These are the most basic elements to prayer and using them will always bring favour upon your life.

If you are feeling attacked, challenge the enemy head on. Say ‘Satan, I bind you in the Name of Jesus Christ. I bind your operations against me and your spirits of Division, Distraction, Frustration and Hopelessness. You MUST stop interfering now.' Then call upon your warring angels to see to it that it is executed. If he tries to continue, come right back after him until you've convinced him that you are serious and will not allow another move against you. He will stop, but you must take complete authority and not allow him to continue. Pray in tongues, and do not stop until you are free. That is the problem with most of you. You say a couple of prayers and the devils know how lazy you are, so they jump right back in--and you let them! Cowards and Slackards cannot inherit the Kingdom of God in the power you were appointed to have. You must press in and do not take 'maybe' or 'no' for an answer! Pray until you get compliance.

When you speak My words, you are speaking as one who is creating or bringing into being, even as I spoke the world into existence. Therefore, your mighty weapon penetrates weapons of the air and dismantles what has been constructed by the demons and renders it powerless against you.

The enemy is launching major offensives against marriages, communities, web sites and any enterprise that goes against the kingdom of darkness. If you are successful in reaching souls, you will be stricken with curses that you HAVE to fight off! You cannot be casual in your spiritual warfare! Put on the full armour of God to defend yourself against Satan’s fiery darts.

If someone has hurt you, remember, rancour and bitterness have no part in this scheme, except to tear you down and open doors for the enemy to sift you. Do not to allow entry through bitterness and anger. Envision a peaceful relationship with all people and pray for it to come about. Peaceful solutions are better than forceful.

Similarly pride is the number one door that most of you have. Self-righteousness and self-opinion are easily exploited by the enemy. Children, your number one assignment is to love Me with all of your hearts, minds, strength and being. And love your brother as yourself. Please do not let one moment pass by in which a brother or sister needs something and you do nothing.

If you are very humble, you will quickly be warned of the enemy's tactics to set you against each other and run from it as a lethal gas. If you are proud, you will easily take offense and defend yourself until you have mastered your opponent. These are the choices a true Heartdweller has. May I say, in My Heart, there are no opponents. Outside My Heart, opponents are everywhere. But when you dwell in My Heart, the things that matter to Me most will occupy your consciousness. And you will shun a spirit of opposition and self-righteousness that stirs up hard feelings. My Blessed ones, walk in love and abandon the ways of self-seeking. For this I will reward you greatly, because I search the world for such hearts to dwell in.

I bless you now with My Peace. Walk in these sandals of Peace and I will deliver you from the snares of the enemy. I long to have you with Me. Keep watch and stay prepared.
