Satan is a HomeWrecker!
He takes every advantage that we allow him, to creep in and cause havoc and destruction. He stalks his prey as a roaring lion. The Word reminds us, “Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8)
He whispers to the children to seek their own way and rebell against their parents. He is in disobedience, pride, envy and all kinds of evil. We must not give way to the world and the desires of the flesh. He gave up everything so that we could be free from this kind of bondage (Gal. 5:1). We cannot allow ourselves to be burdened once again by the yoke of slavery. We are children of the King, bought with a price and purchased with the precious blood of the Spotless Lamb.
The mind is his battlefield as we wrestle against powers, principalities and rulers of darkness (Eph. 6:12). It is time to take back lost ground. Rebound sisters and brothers. He can only have the authority and power that we allow him. We have the same power that raised Christ from the dead at our disposal. We must access it to defeat the enemy.
“The weapons we fight with are not of this world. On the contrary, they have divine power to DEMOLISH strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor. 10 4-5).
We cannot allow the enemy to shake our faith, as we are to be fully rooted in Him. He has established us and we are to stand in the power of His might. It sounds easy enough, but we are to be filled with His power and Spirit. We must tell the enemy that the buck stops here! We will not allow him to continue to distress our homes. There is no room for him in a Christian home.
To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we think or ask be all power and glory now and forever. Amen

It truly appears satan is stepping up his game, doesn’t it? I honestly believe he knows his days are numbered and that, that figure is growing smaller with each passing sun. Your forceful commentary has reminded me of an analogy Dr. Barnhouse gave his daughter on the way to his wife's (her mother's) funeral.
The little girl could not understand why God had taken away her Mommy. The sage Doctor, for once, was at a loss as to how to answer the inquiry of his mourning child. As the funeral procession had paused, he looked out the window to see the shadow of a truck outlined on the pavement. It was then, he received his answer. He asked the precious child, what she would rather be struck with the truck or its shadow. "Oh Daddy, of course I would want the shadow to strike me." "Well, sweetheart, that is what Jesus allowed, when he died on the cross. He took the blow of the truck so that we might only have to collide with the shadow.
While, the great orator, was obviously speaking of death, it is, noteworthy to recognize that the same holy power that conquered death also allows us the strength to overcome the truckload of lies and temptations that satan tries to hit us with, often in rapid succession. In the might of the Almighty we are able to swerve when necessary and avoid both the vehicle and the shadow. PTL!! Mitzi, you are standing, armed with that very power. Your words of victory make the evil one, cringe and repel. May we all learn a lesson from this insightful article. - Nancy
