The enemy wants to steal your joy. And he will use the closest people to you to do just that. And not only will he use people but he will use your very words against you. Your spoken fears, your admitted faults or annoyances, anything negatively spoken will be used against you. That is why I am forever telling people not to speak their fears out loud for the devil and his demons can NOT read minds. Anything that comes out of your mouth is "ammunition" to them. Believe it! They are all around us and we must fight them with our spiritual selves. They do not know what to do when you declare peace in the Lord, when you praise His holy name Yeshua and simply when you rejoice in His goodness. We all must be mindful of our words. And if I sound like a broken record and relentless that is because the principalities of evil are relentless. You must keep your Armor of God on every waking second of your day. And it starts right now, right where you are....for each day we must rejoice in the Lord and be glad in it AND we must prepare ourselves for the spiritual warfare that wages around us.
God's will for us
"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." Ephesians 6:10-18
