“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”  Revelation 12:10 (KJV)

Do you ever wonder where conflict comes from?  Satan is clever, and he will use people that are the closest to us or people that we least expect to come against us. A person who takes conflict personally rather than seeing it as an attack from the enemy will be deceived, resentful, and angry instead of taking it to God in prayer. We must be watchful, alert, and prayerful.  God does not want us to react with verbal or emotional abuse to hurt others. He does not want us to insult or use a harsh manner in dealing with others. Even if they do it to us, God reminds us not to repay evil for evil. If we stay God conscience, we will respond in a godly manner. If we are wearing the armour of God, we will be alert and prepared to respond in a godly fashion- remember God has equipped us for battle. Putting on love will defuse the enemy. Praying will empower us. The Word of God will keep us from being injured. Be wise. Know who your enemy is. Avoid responding in haste with out of control emotions. When we are controlled by the Holy Spirit, Satan is powerless and we can walk in love.

“Lord, help me to walk wisely. Help me to walk in love. Help me not to react when there is conflict. Thank You that greater are You that is in me than he that is in the world.”

For His Glory
