For those who have a strong Faith and are able to share it with their friends and others in a friendly and approachable manner, will soon find themselves under attack. Not because they are doing anything wrong, but because they are doing everything right!
Satan and his hordes will attack anyone who they know are deeply Faithful to God and the Teachings of the Church, and often times the evil one will use those who are easily tempted and will appeal to their EGO's in order to do his dirty work.
It is the case that the father of all lies enjoy's nothing more than when he can turn Christian against 'christian' and therefore he subtly uses the old method of divide and conquer. The sad part is there are so many willing participants in his evil schemes, for he knows those who follow the EGO over God!
Satan will then deploy a feeling of isolation to those who follow God and these Faithfilled Christians will then find words such as 'holier than thou' or 'fake piety' being thrown at them. This is a direct attack from Satan as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does not belittle or besmirch any of His children, only Satan and his hordes do that.
Where ever there is good being done, there too you willl find Satan trying to destroy this good by subversive means, even turning friends against each other. So that a feeling of isolation will give the impression of being overwhelmed, as if Satan was in control and not God.
We need to remember that those who follow and are obedient to God and His Commandments are not orphans, nor does God desert His children in their time of need. It is to be remembered that God has already won the Victory through Christ our Lord.
It is integral that Christians understand and use the tools that God has provided us with, His Word, the Church, Prayer and our Holy Mother. As Christians we were not meant for safe havens, but to be warriors of the spirit who live as if we DO indeed have the Victory!
This is why prayer is vital when it comes to spiritual warfare, for what soldier enters the battle unarmed and alone against an army of billions? We have recourse to prayer and one of the most powerful is The Rosary, for Satan, his demons and his 'children' will run screaming from this Powerful spiritual weapon, The Rosary!
Let us also not forget our Angels and that Great Archangel Michael and depend upon them to help us to defeat the evil one. But what one must not do is to listen or pay any heed to the voice of the serpent, for this silver tongued serpent will try and appeal to the EGO, in that he knows human weaknesses!
This is why we become totally dependant upon our Good God and the power of Prayer to help us conquer the evil one in our midst. For the first mistake Eve made was in listening to the Serpent, her second one was in conversing with evil which then led her to be seduced by the father of all lies.
We have an advocate in the Holy Spirit, let the indwelling Spirit arm you with the essentials, a love of God, The Word of God, His Church, and that most powerful of all tools Prayer.
Satan may use the old weapon of divide and conquer, but it can only succeed if we allow it, for the evil one can only tempt us to do wrong he can not force any of us against our free will, to do evil.
For we are children of the Light, let us then follow the Light and leave those who follow the darkness to God, as we pray for their souls.
Peace of Christ to you ALL
