Don’t be a tool in the hand of the enemy. One of my closest friends and I are always saying this to one another. You see we are aware that the enemy will use anyone who allows him to cause strife, animosity, offense, jealousy, and problems in our life. He can even use us to cause drama or hurt in someone else’s life if we do not allow ourselves to be lead by the Spirit in everything we say and do.
The minute you give in to the temptation to gossip about someone, curse someone out, manipulate, antagonize, hate someone, have selfish ambition, cause dissension, lash out, envy, participate in drunkenness, and the like you have become a tool in the hands of the enemy. You are gratifying the desires of the sinful nature. The sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. (Gal. 5:16-17)
Don’t allow yourself to become a tool in the hands of the enemy to hurt someone else. Instead be lead by the Spirit and you will walk in love and produce joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Gal. 5:22-23)
Also, remember that this is a spiritual battle. Be self controled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8) Who will fall for his tricks? Who will be used by him to destroy someone else’s trust, faith, or hope?
When you see that someone has become the tool the enemy is using against you remember that this is not a battle against flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies-the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world. (Eph 6:12) These spirits may influence certain individuals that have made themselves open to be used by them, even ‘Christians’. In your eyes you see the person standing in front you coming out of their mouth but remember that there is probably a spirit near by throwing thoughts toward the person about you. It is your choice how you react. Will you walk in the Spirit of Love and practice self control? Or will you gratify the flesh and lash out? Don’t give in to the attacks it will only cause more turmoil.
Lord help us to see the attacks of the enemy. Give us wisdom, courage, and self control to react in love using the Word of God as our weapon. Help us not to become tools in the hand of the enemy to hurt others. But let us be surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus..Amen!
