It is good 2 knw d weapons wit which to engage d enemy,bt dis is nt enough.It is important 2 also knw d techniques of d enemy so dat u wil b guided on hw 2 apply d weapons u hav.D more I study d devil,d more I am convinced dat he is a good boxer.In boxing,dere re three major types of blow:d jab,d hook nd d uppercut.D average boxer aims at hitting d head of his opponent bt he may nt start there.He starts wit d jabs at d head,while d opponent is dodging dese jabs,his stomach is exposed nd d boxer capitalises on dis 2 give d hook on d stomach.If he succeeds in hitting d solar plexus in d stomach,d opponent tilts forward nd d boxer gives d uppercut bcus d head is closer nd most likely nt protected. Dis tells us sumtin abt Satan's modus operandi,particularly in bringing down committed,Heaven-bound Christians.Although his goal is 2 completely severe d believer 4rm his helper,so dat members of d Kingdom of darkness can do whatever dey like wit d fellow, he carries out dis plan on a piecemeal basis.To succeed in dis plan,d enemy can be very patient.D devil is satisfied wit separating u 4rm d Vine little by little. As is commonly said, 'Little drops of water make d mighty ocean'. Dis is y u must be concerned abt ur decrease in spiritual matters as little failing lead 2 a great fall.If u re gradually accepting Satan's excuse - it doesn't matter,know dat something is wrong somewhere.If u hav moved 4rm no lie to little lies once in a while,u re already heading 4 a fall.If ur Bible study has decreased,u re backsliding.If a little anger is nw permitted by u,know dat great anger is on its way.Never allow d little sins! Never give room 4 secret sins.No matter d size,sin is ultimately going to separate u 4rm God ur Ally.Take steps 2 know God more,obey Him nd hav more of Him.Little by little keep making efforts to grow in faith no matter how little the effort is each time. Don't stay at the same spot!
