I know from personal experience, the more I give into my own weakness (temptation) the more power I freely give to the enemy
The enemy knows us and our weakness and will use ever one of them against us, to distract and deceive us
All too frequently he uses ourselves against ourselves, by manipulating our human emotions are turned against us
For once we give into our self-indulgences, we open the door of opportunity for evil to slither in with
The enemy uses Lies are his the main weapon, Confusion to cloud the mind so we begin to doubt, he also uses poor imitations of gifts given by God
Such as lust which he disguised as free sex instead of love, the enemy invaded our minds into thinking that free sex was the new alternative to “love”
The big difference is sex, is self-centred and appeals to our vanity, this also gives us the so called freedom to include the same gender relationships.
He uses anger to take away our control of our temper, which spread like a bush fire from one person to another, engulfing anyone it touches
He also uses our bad habits and quickly turns them into addictions, at which point we become slaves rather than the free willed people God created us to be
How to tell bad habits from good ones, good habits take time and constant effort to maintain, whereas bad habits are way too easy to get into
But the devil to give up, and there is a hint in that phrase to who is driving force behind our bad habit
As with temper, any addictive bad habit can and do affect other people more than we might imagine
Not only infecting others in the same way a virus would spread, but also like ripples on water, growing larger as they spread
The enemy uses our prejudice against others who don’t look or talk the same, and through our own vanity allow ourselves to judge them inferior and we become self-righteous
So we can begin so called holy wars, claiming to have Gods approval
