Whodunit?

If you have watched a movie or TV show that involves a murder or suspicious death of a character, you've heard the investigating officer ask the question "did he have any enemies"?  The answer to that question is often vague, especially if the victim was involved in a lifestlye or profession that might cause someone to take offense...or the person had a reputation of kindness or goodness that the thought of anyone having something against them is unthinkable.  Then there are those times when the victim had known issues with a person and that individual is named as a person of interest or a suspect.  It is just a TV show but we get caught up in the story line and are waiting to hear the answer to that question of "who is the enemy?" or "whodunit?"

There will be situations and circumstances in our lives that may cause us to think we have an enemy. As much as we would like to point a finger and name a person as an enemy, consider this...they aren't.  To clarify, there is an enemy...and he will sure use anyone he can to come against you, but it isn't that person...

You can fight this enemy.  But the key to victory is recognizing the true enemy.  If you understand who the enemy is, then you will know how to defend yourself. 

The enemy has a name and a plan to stop you from achieving God's plan in your life.  The enemy will use anyone and anything he can to get you focused on everything but using your most effective weapons.  Your enemy is crafty and deceptive...but the only power he has is in what you allow...he can't stand against your praise and prayer power.  

The drama is real, the attacks knock you off course, the focus can quickly shift if you will remember that God is your strength and begin to praise God and pray specifically against the real enemy...and the shift will be from victim to victor!  

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
