You Have An Enemy

As rational Greek minded people we look at cause and effect. With God we tend to think A+B=C. If A) God loves me and B) I am good enough then C) my life will be good. So, when things don't go write either A) God is holding out (most of us don't go there) or B) We're screwing up (most of us are all over this one). The truth is that there is another VERY important variable. Satan. We must remember that it's not just us and God; we have an ENEMY (1 Peter 5:8-9). Our enemy loaths us and will do anything, whatever it takes, to seperate us from God. Attacking us in the middle of the night is one example. Talk to me about this ... we've had experience here and for those who have been at Gateway for a while remember what happened when the church started praying about "Up To Something Good"? There was a lot of attack - sickness, marriage issues, job loss, etc. It's not coincidece Jen it's our enemy.
