Topic:
Your Great Destroyer
Satan is out to destroy you. Satan does not want to test you to
see how strong you are. Satan does not want to test you to make you
stronger. Satan wants you dead. Satan wants you dead in the spirit and
dead in the body. Yes, suffering and pain are a test, but not a test
from God. We can assign many things to God. We can say that God is
testing us, but when we say God is testing us, we are referring to the
testing that develops endurance and strength. An athlete works out to
strengthen the body by continually exercising muscles by applying
resistance or force against those muscles. Muscles in the arms grow
stronger by using bar bells. Wind sprints build up the muscles in the
legs, arms, and lungs by the body's pushing against gravity. God does
not concoct some kind of scheme to make you weak and see you fail. What
God does do is coach you from the sidelines, so to speak, encouraging
you to work hard to win the race. What God most wants from you during
your times of suffering and trauma is for you to work against your
painful circumstances. God wants you to work against the weakening of
your faith. God wants you to work against the obstacles of pain put in
your path by Satan. In this way, when Satan tries to destroy you, you
can turn Satan’s attack against Satan. When Satan attacks you, you
must wage a counter attack. When wage a counter attack against the pain,
suffering, and adversity put upon you, you then glorify God by becoming
stronger in your faith.
