Locate Your Enemy Go to the Root Cause
Ephesians 6:12 Locate your Enemy Go to the Root Cause!
The sooner we realize, as servants of God and as the Church of Jesus Christ, that when we face conflict and warfare we are not dealing with men or ideologies, the sooner we are going to have the greatest victory this world has ever seen in the name of Jesus. We are not in a natural conflict, we are in a spiritual conflict, and it cannot be solved by religious or political gimmicks, or by any natural means. It must be met, and it can only be met, by people who have power with God and with men, and who can prevail.
Satan is manifesting himself in the world all around us (Job 1:7; 1 Peter 5:8) as his evil spirits move upon people causing them to commit all types of sin. He has set up principalities upon this earth using people who have allowed him full control of their lives. He works through human vessels just as the Holy Spirit manifests Himself through human vessels. We must learn to recognize when we are confronted by the enemy “lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices: (11 Corinthians 2:11).
In the book of Nehemiah, God outlines eight specific ways in which Satan will try to destroy our work from the Lord (Nehemiah 4-6.) Maybe you can recognize them at work against you. They are: ridicule and intimidation; threats of physical attack and confusion; discouragement and spirits of negativism; division among yourselves; the temptation to compromise or reason with the world; exhaustion; fear; and the leading of the false Prophets. (This is a big problem false prophet’s, they are being set up for the kill, and God has had enough of them).
Not all attacks of the enemy are obvious. Most likely his operations in your life and ministry are subtle. But no matter how hidden he is, your job is still to recognize the way the enemy is operating and stop him before it is too late. Be encouraged that whatever hindrances Nehemiah and the Jews overcame then, Christ’s people can overcome now, (Hallelujah) If they go to the root cause in the spirit realm using the power of God and His spiritual weapons to defeat the enemy.
If you try to deal with these problems on the surface, you are never going to have a solution. The problem is in the spirit world. It is in the spirit of man and his sinful nature. There is no problem when you have identified and overcome the real problem in the spirit world and have located the enemy at his source – the root cause. In Christ your victory has been won! Hallelujah Hallelujah Glory to God.
