HUMAN BEINGS AS THE ENEMY
Luke 18:2-5 NLT
“There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. [3] A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’ [4] The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, [5] but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”
The persistent prayer here had to do with the prayer for justice with my enemy.
The other flip of the story, Jesus never mentioned "my enemies" he said enemy.
Every enemy we personalized to ourselves is still serving the purpose of the common enemy.
Every human you can see on earth is either serving the purpose of God or the enemy. There is no sitting on the fence.
Acts 13:10 NLT
Then he said, “You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord?
Humans become enemy when they represent everything that is against the will of God.
The people in your life that you tag enemy are either distraction or against the will of God on earth.
The common enemy is very earth wise. He poses earth wisdom because of the age it has lived on earth.
He has created different distraction here there to bring confusion to every human.
It is very possible to spend our time focusing on the wrong enemy.
Every human (witch, wizard, occult, bandits, terrorist et al) are tools in the hand of the enemy for distractions.
Winning all these evil will still not eradicate the enemy completely because the true enemy is a spirit that has been judge for the appointed time.
Don't forget God does not go back on his word.
In Exodus the Israelites thought their greatest enemy is Egypt but they spent 40 years instead of 40 days in the wilderness without the Egypt.
Numbers 14:33-34 NLT
And your children will be like shepherds, wandering in the wilderness for forty years. In this way, they will pay for your faithlessness, until the last of you lies dead in the wilderness. [34] “‘Because your men explored the land for forty days, you must wander in the wilderness for forty years— a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’
WE CAN ALSO HAVE GOD AS AN ENEMY BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE.
Many Israelites lost their lives in the wilderness and it was not done by any human but God.
These points is the reason why we will fall into distraction of the enemy.
2 Timothy 3:2 AMP
For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane,
• Focus on Self:
You need to stop looking into yourself for you to see true enemy.
The more we focus on ourselves the more the distracted we get in this world.
• Solve self Problems:
How can you spend all your time on earth solving problems that only particular to self sufficient on earth and never kingdom mandate?
• Self sufficient on Earth:
The moment our focus is only on enjoy the benefit of earth and nothing else matters, we are distracted by the wrong enemy.
