Your Friend Thinks You Don't Know He/She is Still Your Foe

Always stay one step ahead of those you suspect don't like, respect, or appreciate you.  Sure, she smiles in your face and he says flattering things to others about you, but once a foe, most likely always a foe especially when you have a history of cursing and fighting your enemies whether verbally or nonverbally and this person feels he or she has no accountability to the Creator.

Don't be surprised when someone warns, "I wouldn't trust him if I were you."  But for some of you, you respond to cautionary statements with, "Oh, I don't worry about that...I don't think he is like that...Well we squashed that a long time ago."  Really?  Maybe you thought you did, but your foe still has some unresolved issues particularly when others notice that something just isn't right with that person.  Your foe might periodically see scenes in his or her head of you saying or doing something that simply is unforgiveable in his or her eyes.  Tread cautiously around people like this and don't shoot your messengers down when they keep you updated.  Pray about the information you have received and ask God to reveal truth to you and reasons as to why you are being notified now about this person.

Enemies may put on a great act in front of others and they might wishfully think that you don't suspect that they still don't like you.  They wouldn't want to blow their own cover when they know they are scheming to rid themselves of you.  So out comes, "I don't have a problem with her." When confronted.  "I don't know what you are talking about, I never said..." 

It doesn't matter how many times you reasoned the battle was over, apologized to your enemy, bought him or her gifts, or how much you praised this person, they still "Remember when you..."

If you should suspect that your enemy is still harboring resentment and wishing you ill will, know that you have a God who will fight your battles if you give your concerns over to him.  He speaks to men and women while they sleep and provides them with insight to deal with foes.  There is a battle that those, who lack spritiual discernment, cannot see or feel and this is why many end up being blind-sided by Satan's assistants.

Consider all that God did for David, who was running from a so-called friend who wanted to kill him, and others in the Bible.  Keep in mind, there is a God who watches your back even when you can't see or refuse to admit that there is a knife coming toward it!

God bless.
