4 Ways to Recover from Satan's Attack by Becky Dvorak

By Becky Dvorak
I had the oddest experience today that got me to thinking about how the enemy covets our blessings. I was shopping in the woman's department at a local store. I found the perfect skirt, blouse and blazer outfit needed for my next ministry trip to Tanzania. It was the right fabric for the hot and humid weather. It was a great color for me. It was very versatile. It was able to pack well. And it would wash and wear easily. It was one of a kind, and there was not another one like it on the racks. And the price was great. It's as if God fashioned the outfit for my needs and desires.

I had the oddest experience today that got me to thinking about how the enemy covets our blessings. I was shopping in the woman's department at a local store. I found the perfect skirt, blouse and blazer outfit needed for my next ministry trip to Tanzania.
 
It was the right fabric for the hot and humid weather.
 
It was a great color for me.
 
It was very versatile.
 
It was able to pack well.
 
And it would wash and wear easily.
 
It was one of a kind, and there was not another one like it on the racks.
 
And the price was great.
 
It's as if God fashioned the outfit for my needs and desires.
 
I placed the outfit in my cart, and continued shopping. But while I was browsing the racks, I noticed another woman nearby that was getting a little bit too close for comfort. I brushed it off, figuring she was real focused on her shopping and didn't realize how close she was to me.
 
I turned aside to check out a blouse, when all of a sudden this woman came up from behind me and pushed me into the clothing rack and stole the dress from my shopping cart and ran off!
 
In all honesty, I was taken off guard, flustered and couldn't get out of that store fast enough. Once back in the car with my kids and good friend who accompanied me, I started to detox my spirit and soul from the ugly greed of someone that would do such a thing.
 
The Behavior of the Enemy
 
But then I got to thinking about how our enemy, Satan, comes to steal, kill and destroy us (John 10:10). And my thoughts went deeper than just his thieving, murderous and destructive behavior against us, but to the real motives behind his wicked attacks against us.
 
Let's look back to the woman at the store today. She didn't try to steal my purse hanging over my shoulder, which possessed the provision, my money to purchase this outfit. She coveted the blessing in my basket, the outfit itself. And so much so that she did not care how unbecomingly she behaved to get it. She pushed me aside and nabbed it from me.
 
This is exactly how the enemy behaves, and the true reason behind his behavior. He covets our spiritual attire, God's glory. He's jealous of what God has fashioned for us. He sees how God has uniquely designed our ministry attire, and he wants it. And he will stop at nothing to try and swipe it from us.
 
Christians often look at ministry attire as being a part of the fivefold ministry, but whether you realize it or not, all of God's people are called to the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18). It might just be your blessing of healing that he wants to nab from your basket to try to prevent you from shining hope to the sick and hurting around you. Perhaps your healing already manifested, but he tries to steal your testimony by putting lying symptoms back on you. Maybe he tries to steal your witness by attacking your marriage.
 
Recovering from the Attack of the Enemy
 
What blessing is Satan trying to rob you of? And more importantly, what can you do about it? Plenty!
 
Repent of sin if you need to.
 
Pray in the perfect will of the Father as you pray in the Spirit.
 
Declare the power of the blood of Jesus Christ over you and your family.
 
Put your faith into action, and do what God is calling you to do.
 
Doing these four things alone will help you recover from the attack of the enemy, and cause your spiritual attire to shine for the advancement of the kingdom of God.

You feel like you are alone and hopeless, but are you? Let's turn to the Scriptures to see what God has to say about this matter. We read in Hebrews 13:5, the latter part of this verse, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." God is saying to you that He will never abandon you, never leave you without help. He is not going to leave you. You say, "Becky, you don't understand my situation." And perhaps I don't, but I do know our Lord, and He is forever faithful and true. And if He says something, He means it.
Are you believing the lies of the enemy? Do you struggle to believe that God loves you? Do you feel like He has some master plan to harm you? The truth of the matter is that God is not against you, but unless you know the promises in His Word, you will believe the enemy's lies. To help you overcome the lies concerning God's will and ability to heal you, I have written up the following confession of faith to combat the enemy's lies that block your healing.
The Lord spoke to me recently and said, "A deep cleansing is taking place. And I am cleansing from the foundations. Because My people who are called by My name are founded upon My rock, the rock of salvation. "Salvation goes to the very core of your spiritual being. And My people have been standing on shaky ground, and I will not stand still and allow My people to sink upon the sands of this world. "During this shaking, earthly things are falling apart. And during this shaking I say to you, hold on to the power of My Word. Have I not said to you from times of old, 'The grass withers and the flowers fade, but My Word lives forever.' My Word is eternal.
