The nature of the enemy's warfare in your life is to cause you to become discouraged and to cast away your confidence. Not that you would necessarily discard your salvation, but you could give up your hope of God's deliverance. The enemy wants to numb you into a coping kind of Christianity that has given up hope of seeing God's resurrection power.Bob Sorge
About This Quote
The Bible teaches that we live and move and have our being in God. We exist because God exists and we exist because we are created by God. The enemy’s goal is to cause us to stop trusting in God and to stop relying on God for our every need. In short, he wants us to believe that our lives are ours and not under His control.
When people give up hope of seeing God deliver them from their problems, they begin to question what is happening in their lives. If they don’t have a problem, why is there a problem? If they don’t have a need, why is there a need? These questions lead to a sense of helplessness and depression, which allows the enemy to make the most of his opportunities.
