Know Your Enemy!(Ashley Taliaferro)

Walk with me as I play out this real-life scenario real quick. Check it out: You are usually a neat person. You love keeping a tidy house and when small things go missing, you usually notice. One morning, you hear a knock at your door. It's ONE of the electricians from the electric company (pay close attention...). They have been scheduled to come into your home to do a system upgrade. The ONE electrician asks for permission. You grant him permission. He tells you to hold on for a sec. He goes back outside and summons for the rest of the crew to come in. You gave permission to one of the electricians, but he's not working alone today. Before you know it, you have over seven electricians in your home. They are walking around on your brand new carpet with their nasty boots from outside. They do their work, and finally, leave. However, your place looks slightly different than it did before. You have access to just one, but he didn't work alone... I have just given you insight into how your enemy, Satan works. The reason it is so important for children of God to know their enemy is because he knows you. He studies you. He knows what you like. Yes, I said he. He has a personality and employs strategies and tactics to rob you of your joy, peace, prosperity and much more. If you don't learn what you're up against, you will end up being a slave to his purposes. You must KNOW how much God loves you and cares for you. This message will give you insight and encourage you on your walk with God!!!
