Don't Lose Courage - You Don't Have to Look Them in the Eyes

You can make a powerful statement and still stand strong even when you aren't looking at your foe in his or her face.  If anything, it frustrates the enemy when you don't care enough about what the individual is saying to be attentive to it.  Why bother making eye contact when a manipulative, angry, or crazy person has insulted you?


Give the disturbed one no weapon to form against you including eyes of fire!  Don't permit the evil within another human being that is so far from a righteous God, to destroy you--to tempt you to do something you might regret!  If one sincerely believes in a heavenly Creator then he or she would be wise to call on The One who is beyond human intelligence, power, and fame --the Master of all masters, the Warrior of all warriors--the great I AM!


Deceased wise teachers, leaders, prophets, and others didn't go into a fight without a spiritual weapon.  The enemy knows that a man or woman who is connected to God, the Son and the Holy Ghost has the potential to be greater than he who is in the world--that is if he or she knows the truth: the weapons of our warfare are not carnal!  Satan and his minions work night and day to keep you from fully realizing this.  They dilute truth, hide it, keep it off the front pages of websites, out of printed media on best-seller lists, and away from the mouths of influential people in our modern day society.


The niche market works well for the trained puppet, he or she will not deviate from scripts and will stay focused on one thing at a time while oblivious to the world around him or her unless it is somehow connected to his niche.  Satan loves keeping believers in boxes!  "Come out the box," the Lord says. 


The backslider, unsaved, lost and confused most likely is aware how a "typical" Christian will react to his or her negative news, nasty behavior, rude comments, etc. since these ungodly types sometimes attend church too.  However, the radical type, the Jesus follower, one who flies under the radar, evil people never know which way children of light are coming, what battle might believers lead, or where will God's people end up.  Some are so disturbed with worry that a Christian might show up and show out with his or her truth that they jump the gun, create false stories, damage reputations, etc. in an attempt to take Christians off this planet for no real reasons.


While you are avoiding eye contact during a verbal battle with the evil one's workers, don't be tempted to spill everything you know, hold back some truth from them, remain quiet sometimes like Jesus did especially when his death was near, and trust that God will be with you every step of the way.  Remember the battle is not yours!


God bless.
