Recently I have been reminded, again, that the enemy is relentless in his schemes to destroy us. The church that we had previously attended here is currently embroiled in problems with the pastor (again!). They are having serious marital issues and of course this is causing all kinds of stress and discouragement for the congregation.
As we have learned even more about the dysfunctional nature of marriages here in Nicaragua I have become more and more convinced that the enemy does not work in the same way in all parts of the world. It appears that here in Nicaragua he focuses on destroying the family unit and therefore destroy the message of Christ to a lost world. Infidelity is the norm, a sensual way of dress the custom, and lack of trust for one's spouse to be expected.
The solution is war! Out-and-out war in the heavenly realms. I have committed to come against the schemes of the devil. Enough apathy! It is time we realize that the fight that we have with our spouse, the disagreement in the church, or our clash with our co-worker is not really about a struggle with "flesh and blood", but rather is a fight in the spiritual realm.
