When I see you, the children of God, fall to the attacks of the enemy; when I hear you say, “Pastor I have prayed. I have fasted. I have stayed in the word. I am not living in sin. I do not doubt God. Yet the enemy attacks me so”. When I think about those who are backsliding and those who have given up; when I think about those who have lost the will to walk with God, my heart goes out. I find myself identifying with the prophets, crying out for God to send a word for his people. But then I know that the true disciple, the ones who walk close with God, the ones who dare to make his will their will are troubled on every side. They are perplexed, persecuted, forsaken, cast down, and rejected. Satan keeps on buffeting and buffeting them to cause them to fall but they stand. Will you will stand too.
