because of Christ. He is the One who can lift us straight out of that
darkness, He is the One who can calm our fears, and give us
strength we didn’t even know was possible.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power
and of love and of a sound mind.
If you find yourself running scared or stuck in the pit of despair, stop
long enough to think who is the one pinning you down. Don’t fall
into the enemy’s deceptive attacks. Make a choice to stand and
resist him. He has no lasting power over you and God will help you
stand firm for the road still ahead.
Dulled spirituality, deep confusion, feelings of condemnation and
guilt
This last one can be difficult to see through at times. Because this
attack can be so subtle and can happen slowly over time. But
when we stop and look closely, we can call it out for what it is. A
slow, constant pulling away from God’s truth will leave us feeling
confused, irritated, conflicted, and facing generalized feelings of
guilt and condemnation that we just can’t seem to shake off. It
works just like a python constrictor, slowly squeezing the air and
movement out. you’ve lost your desire to press in and pray. Or
you’re too busy, you’ve got too much to do, even good things.
you’re not in God’s word. you’re out of fellowship with believers
somehow believing the lie that you can do this life thing all on your
own. And yet feel a dark cloud of confusion and guilt that follows
you around and won’t go away. Bitterness sets in, conflict and
broken relationships that you once cared about. You don’t even
know what to believe anymore and have started listening more to
what the world says is right than what God says.
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion but of
peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
It’s a trap of the devil and you need to get out now. Stir yourself to
action and know that God’s power is greater to break through
that trap of condemnation, confusion and dullness.
