THE FATAL FLAW?

May 5, 2024

2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Good morning!


Today one of the most fatal flaws in the lives of believers and a looming problem within the Christian church body is the high level of spiritual ignorance. Many Christians have a limited knowledge about the spiritual warfare conducted by Satan and his demons.

Paul’s warning in 2 Corinthians 2:11s is as valid now as it was back then. To ignore it is a dangerous path to pursue.

Ignorance of spiritual principles leaves many Christians to specialize in the wrong things. While they gain knowledge of things such as
where the best clothes stores are, best neighborhoods, schools, doctors or jobs, they ignore the many spiritual avenues/devices Satan uses as weapons against us.

Is it any wonder that there are reported to be as many Christians as non-Christians suffering from depression, anxiety attacks, behavioral problems, demonic oppressions, etc?

Sadly, spiritual ignorance leaves a person unable to hear and heed the warnings the Holy Spirit tries to give them against the pending attacks of Satan.

The bible tells us clearly about the existence of evil in this world in 2 Timothy 3:1 – This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come.

It’s a rare military force that thinks it can operate successfully against its enemies without some knowledge of how their adversary may attempt to strike out against them.

1 Peter 5:8 – 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

As Christians we should and must operate from a perspective and position of biblical knowledge in that we are told we have an enemy (Satan) whose strategies we need to know.

How many of our children, friends, parents, neighbors, relatives and loved ones are unknowingly dependent on us standing in the gap to beat back various spiritual attacks against them with prayer and words of biblical wisdom?

Let us heed Paul’s warning and learn to scripturally correct our spiritual flaws. It is the only way we can successfully defend against and defeat Satan’s plans against us.
