The Lord God said to Satan, “From where do you come?”
He immediately answered, “From going to and fro on the earth and from walking back and forth on it.” Job 1.7
What is the devil doing walking back and forth on the earth?
Enjoying his last days?
No, a thousand times, no! He is investing all of his remaining strength in the harvest of souls.
Surely, the Earth he is referring to is not planet Earth, because it already belongs to the darkness.
The Earth he walks back and forth on is the Church of Jesus Christ. That is where his focus lies.
While the servants of the Almighty fish for lost souls out there, the devil works inside the churches, fishing for souls that are saved.
Be careful shepherds and sheep!
The devil does not work outside the Church.
Be careful, members of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ!
The devil wants to catch you with his hook, more than you can ever imagine.
What have his tactics been?
The first thing he does is send "someone" to invite you to visit "his" church. This "someone" will be very kind, cordial and convincing.
In other words, he wants to separate you from the fire. Once you have been removed from the fire of faith (the Church), your faith will automatically begin to cool down.
Meaning, from the moment you are alone (even when you are among so-called “brethren”), your salvation, which depends on the embers of faith, is in serious danger of burning out.
Soon, you will notice that their topics are different and never produce faith. Instead, they produce doubts.
Internal doubts pile onto external doubts, which are sent from the messengers of hell. They bring malice to the doctrines you have learned and used with success in the past. They misuse biblical verses in order to build up your doubts. In conclusion, they do the same thing that the devil did to Jesus in the desert.
They try, try and try again by using sensitive words, filled with emotions and doubts.
Read carefully and meditate on the Word of God:
"And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” Jeremiah 3.15
