Rebuke The Enemy

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you, and I see.  I see how the enemy of your souls have moved to keep you from Me.  I see how you are trying to do what is right, but this seems difficult because you are constantly terrorized by the enemy.  You feel that these attacks are increasing, and you are right.  Because of the lateness of the hour the enemy has limited time to come against Me and you, My children.  The enemy is ramping up his attacks, but I want to remind you that he has limits, and his limits are being reached.  When you resist the devil, then he gives up and flees, because he will not waste energy on one who is steeped in their faith in Me.  So, when you feel overwhelmed in your current situation, rebuke the devil and he will move on.  When he leaves you, then you will see that I have been with you the whole time. 

 

2 Pet 2:1-11 (ESV) But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2  And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3  And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. 4  For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; 5  if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6  if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7  and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8  (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); 9  then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, 10  and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11  whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
