Who said Satan wouldn't attack?

“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;”
Hebrews 5:8 KJV
http://bible.com/1/heb.5.8.kjv 
Many people expect a Christian's life to be rosy. But because they are not taught the truth, that your troubles double, they fall away at the first sight of trouble, just like in Jesus' parable: “Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.”
Matthew 13:21 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.13.21.kjv

You can read the whole parable in the book of Matthew 13. Once you become a Christian, expect double trouble. Expect more attacks of the enemy. Expect anything under 'suffering'. But...in the midst of all these: there is One who always rescues us. One who always has a plan for us. And He rescues us. Even Jesus had to suffer, to learn obedience. This doesn't mean He was disobedient! He suffered so that he could go through training. God will permit somethings sometimes for your training, and spiritual growth. There cannot be a winner without a competitor. Or a winning boxer without another fellow boxer. It's the same thing! You cannot go higher in Christ until you defeat the enemy, become a winner and experience competition. Suffering only trains us to be ready for what God has ahead. God allows satan to throw rocks at us, but, at the end of the day, the rocks have turned into bread. We now have a warehouse of bread! And, God will not allow you to be drowned in suffering; He will rescue you. Remember this: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."
Psalms 34:19 KJV
http://bible.com/1/psa.34.19.kjv

So you see; satan will be allowed to throw suffering at you, but once you have been restored that stage you are ready for God's plan, and will be able to help those who are suffering. Remember, longsuffering is a Fruit of the Spirit: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
