The strategies of demons are to move us to disobedience toward FATHER’S Word and The Holy Spirit. When we are disobedient, we become separated from FATHER and are unable to clearly hear HIS Voice. As this occurs, the flow of life begins to wane and abundance turns to scarcity. This is how the adversary steals from us.
We have a choice and the devil knows it. He cannot compel us to be disobedient but he will attempt to convince us that we can walk without FATHER’S direct guidance. He does this by appealing to man’s ego and reasoning.
Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 4:
1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
FATHER immediately picked a fight with the devil by having Jesus confront him at the weakest point of his humanity. What a great example for us to live by. No matter how adverse the circumstance we face, we are to be fully led by The Holy Spirit. As we fully trust in FATHER, HIS Word, and The Holy Spirit, we will be able to stand up against all devices of the devil.
The devil tempted Jesus in three ways hoping to find a weakness to exploit. He found none. This complete resistance to the adversary was one aspect of preparation to change the world. Jesus was and is the first Overcomer among FATHER’S Sons and Daughters thus He is our Perfect Example of obedience to FATHER’S directives.
Many Christians tend to look away from demonic activity yet Jesus was not reluctant to confront demons and set the captives free. We must not allow ourselves to be ignorant of their devices and deceptions.
The strategy of the devil is to keep you out of the Love of GOD. Once you have the revelation of Agape Love, you will no longer allow yourself to be separated from Our Heavenly Father. Instead, you will move toward being fully immersed in HIS Love. Your eyes will see people as HE sees them. Your criticisms will depart for you will see their deaf and blindness. At that point, you will start looking for opportunities to be a light in the darkness in order to draw them into FATHER’S Love and Divine Intent for their lives.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Jude:
20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most Holy faith by praying every moment in the Holy Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the Love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.
Praying in Tongues keeps our hearts fastened to the Love of GOD. This is why the adversary works so hard to keep believers from pursuing this relationship with FATHER.
The goal of praying in Tongues is to make you perfect in Love. When your spirit is fully aligned with The Holy Spirit, you take on the qualities of Our Heavenly Father for HE IS LOVE! The goal of our maturity is to be perfected in Love so we must make praying in THE SPIRIT the major priority in our daily walk. Then every word and action has a foundation of Agape Love as it is with FATHER.
Consistently praying in The Holy Spirit moves us toward maturity and obedience to FATHER’S every directive. In the Spiritual realm, our lights can be seen by the demons and they realize that their attempts to sway us and deceive us will be wasted. In turn, they will look for weak vessels to deceive and misdirect.
