Do Not be Deceived

"Destroy, Distract, Discourage, Deceive"

Be vigilant we have an enemy and he is roaming the earth seeking to DESTROY the work God has sent us to do. God gave us a mission, we have His work to do. Though it is hard for us to stay focused on His work 
the enemy will never be able to destroy the plan of God, but he will try to DISTRACT us. He will do whatever it takes to distract us from God. Friends we do not have time to be distracted from God by the enemy!
When the enemy that seeks to destroy and distract us can't, he will then try to DISCOURAGE us. I don't know about you, but I'm easily discouraged. I say to myself things like "Who am I to be able to do such a work? I don't know how to write! What if they don't like me!" The enemy will use our thoughts, our family, our friends, those we look up to at work or at home and even social media to discourage us!
We must remind ourselves that it is God's work and not our own. Do not give up or give in. God is on our side. He will fight with us.

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed
and broken; We are perplexed, but we are not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed
2 Corinthians 4:8-9

Friends if the enemy can't destroy you, distract you, or discourage you, he will then try to DECEIVE you! Don't let yourself be deceived by the enemy! God's word is our defense! Know His words and keep them! When you store God’s Word in your heart, the Spirit will remind you of it in your time of need and He will guard your mind and heart.

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”  Isaiah 26:3
