When people give their lives to Christ , there is this perception that all will be well.  They will have a great marriage, great job, awesome house, fantastic children, everything will be rosy.   Satan will not touch them.  Then, it happens.  That one event, what ever it might be comes along, and everything falls apart.  Pain sets in.  Hurt.  Anger. Bitterness.  Confession.  Loneliness.  Helplessness.  You understand.

Then, silently, that person walks away from Christ.

 

When Jesus was baptized, HE was immediately taken to the desert by the Holy Spirit.  HE would then be tested by Satan.  After fasting for 40 days, Jesus in a weakened physical position, took the temptations of Satan.  For some reason, we think that since we have Jesus, Satan would not attack us.  That is a lie.  If he attacked Jesus, he will attack us.  He will attack us in our weakest moment.  He will attack.

 

So many Christians are leaving the faith because they fail to realize that Satan will attack them.  They will have difficult times, because of Satan’s attacks.  Relationships will fall apart, marriages will fail, jobs will be lost, children will go different paths, all because of the attacks of Satan.  Do not be deceived.  Satan will attack.

 

Jesus’s response to Satan’s attacks–GOD’S WORD.  He quoted Scripture to Satan, who did not argue.   God’s Word is the answer to all of life’s issues, Beloved.  Sometimes we forget that, but it is one fact of life that can not be disputed.  Have a great day..
