Seeing someone you love struggle with spiritual warfare is a helpless feeling. My natural instinct is to dig in and fix it. Lean in and love them harder.
Until I realize the enemy would love to be the reason I sacrifice even the tiniest bit of faith, rerouting my effort and time away from my purpose and end up getting myself off track in the process.
Maybe the cure to spiritual warfare in that helpless moment is us shoring up on His Word and hanging out while the storm around us passes. Praying first and not last.
MAYBE when this happens, we’re in the way, standing right between the person meant to connect with the person we love and help them through their battle. Or worse, maybe we’re just distracting them from their time with God to do the same.
Once we’ve made a good life decision for our house there is NO reason to revisit it when the devil tries to manipulate us through someone we love. Pray for God to reveal to you your part in their healing, it should never interfere with your faith or get you off track.
