Significant Living

Why is there an enemy in the first place and why does he hate you so passionately? As we said last week, in the order of creation, man was lower than the angels. And then was made an heir (above the angels)! Some angels could not fathom that new order. Hence the rebellion, with man in the middle of it.

Heb 2:7 Jesus accepted to go lower than the angels, to the level of man.

It’s like a rich person living all his possessions to a cat. Relatives and servants will not find sense in it, hate and even seek to harm the cat. 🙂

Angels are powerful beings. The devil and his agents are angels with all that power and capabilities, that are way above the strength and power of humans.

We’re literally defenseless against them.

So, how are we still here, having such a powerful enemy that hates us so much?

It’s because they are restrained by the power and authority of God. On our own, we are so defenseless not even praying can help us.

_Remember Job. In the few hours the devil was allowed access to Job, he caused a lot of havoc in Job’s life. That’s exactly what the devil would do if he had access to us._
