Sleeping With The Enemy was a movie title that came out years ago, which is very interesting, because that is exactly what most people are doing today. They eat, sleep, and drink with the enemy, and don’t even realize it. To understand what or who I am talking about we must first identify who our enemy is. Our main enemy is the devil, because his only intentions is to steal our life, kill our joy, and destroy our hopes and dreams of Heaven. His job is to prevent us from serving God which will disqualify us from eternity.
How is he(Satan) our enemy? Well, he does not have a chance of ever making it to heaven and besides preventing us from serving God, his intention is to steal, kill, and destroy all your chances of ever making it to Heaven. The Bible refers to him as a thief in John 10:10. John 10:10 also shows us that God’s only begotten son came that we might have life and have it in abundance. So in a world of choices, who you choose to follow will determine where you will end up. Why do some people keep on following the enemy (satan) who only gives empty promises, that he does not and cannot keep? It is the son of God, JESUS CHRIST, whose promises are fulfilled.
The world is the enemy’s territory to function in until Jesus returns. That is why the Bible tells us not to love the world nor the things of the world, and if anyone loves the world, then the love of God our Father is not in them, for all that is in the world, is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:15-16). Those are the tools the enemy uses to trick us into believing that it is good, perfect, and pleasurable, when it’s not, because it is contrary to God’s Word and His will. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul (Luke 8:36).
Your prayers to God will not be answered if you are an enemy of God, because James 4:1-4 says,
“Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have; you murder and covet and cannot obtain; you fight and war, yet you do not have because you do not ask; You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures; Adulterers and adulteress! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
Are you an enemy of God? Now that you know the truth, you can change that today, by allowing Jesus to come and live in your heart. Just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions. It will be the best thing you ever did.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, our Savior, be glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to present His message to His children. May He also give you the spiritual necessities to receive His message, and act on it in Jesus’ name, Amen.
