Introduction

In my journey of faith, I often hear about the attacks of the devil, which has become a source of trouble and confusion for many Christians. When something happens, it is attributed to the devil’s attack; when another thing happens, it is still regarded as the devil’s attack.

A long time ago, I heard a concept called breach: you cannot cast out demons because you have many breaches in your life. I thought that the issue of breaches must be very serious. When can I be without breaches? Perhaps only when I am lying in a coffin. Only when there are no breaches, the devil cannot attack me.

But as long as you are alive, there will be breaches. Then the devil will attack you because of these breaches, which is fatal. This problem puzzled me for a long time. In my previous church, a pastor taught us: you must be careful, when you cast out demons, you must not have any breaches. If you have breaches, the devil will enter your life through these breaches.

So, I was very scared after hearing these words, because I had many breaches. The issue of the devil’s attacks and breaches has been troubling many Christians. Later, I searched the Bible for verses about the devil’s attacks and breaches, but I could not find them.

However, in the Bible, I found a concept: these are all created by God, even the devil is created by God. If God does not allow the devil to attack people, the devil cannot attack people.

Viewing the Devil with a Godly Logical System

Then why does the devil attack people? Not for anything else, but because people disobey God's word. If I haven't read so much of God's word, how would I know if I have disobeyed God's word? Actually, Revelation says: hold on to what you have received. This goes back to the foundation of faith.

What exactly does the devil do? The devil is a serving spirit. Previously, in our teaching on Understanding Diseases, we mentioned that even pastors getting serious illnesses is a spiritual matter, and spiritual matters are closely related to the spiritual realm. In the spiritual realm, there are angels and devils. The devil is also created by God. So what exactly does the devil do? The devil's role is to clean up garbage.

When we have an essential understanding of these things, the devil's attack is no longer a fearful matter. If God does not permit it, the devil cannot attack. The Bible says that if God does not permit it, not a single hair on your head will fall. This is very comforting.

As Christians, we should not be afraid of the devil, because fearing the devil does not solve the problem. If anyone mentions the devil's attacks, breaches, and other such issues in the future, we should all have a clear understanding.

When a person first believes in the Lord, does he have more or fewer breaches? Definitely more. If a person believes in the Lord and the demons in him are cast out, but he still has so many breaches, what will happen? If this myth is not dispelled, it will bring confusion to many people.

Back then, when that pastor said that, I was thinking that the breaches in my life were too many. They were like big holes and sieve holes. Back then, I was a small group leader in the church, and my group members had even more breaches. It was like there was an even bigger hole in the sieve hole. The devil could come and go freely unhindered. What was the solution to this problem? This made people feel like God was no longer God.

Everyone must know that God is in control. Some people ask, how should these things in the world be explained? Actually, whether it is the devil's attack, the angel's protection, or all things, they are all solving the same problem, which is that those who belong to God enter God's kingdom, and those who belong to the devil enter the devil's kingdom. Finally, those who belong to God together build God's glorious church, filled with God's presence.

We need to have such a logical system, that is, the devil is also used by God. The devil's attack is not as we imagine. Why did I believe in the Lord? Later, I discovered that it was the devil who drove me into the kingdom of God.

Then why would the devil drive me into the kingdom of God? Is the devil stupid? Does it not know that it is driving me into the kingdom of God? Because the devil is God's servant, it is completing the work God has given it. When we stand at a higher level to look at this matter, we will understand.

For example, the devil attacked Job. Was it really an attack? It was God's refining. The devil was just God's servant, completing a purpose that God wanted to achieve. God's purpose is to let His people manifest God's glory and let His people know God more. For God's people to manifest God's glory, those who have dealt with the devil will have a deeper understanding of this.

If we follow this logical reasoning, the Bible says that all these things are created by God, then the devil is also created by God. Some people say: God, couldn't you not have created the devil? I think God created the devil very well.

In the city, some people are white-collar workers, and some are cleaners. Everyone is completing their respective tasks, without good or bad distinctions. For example, in the natural environment, God created many good animals, and also created many animals that clean up garbage. When some animals die, vultures and beasts come to eat their meat.

Sometimes the world we see is very cruel, lions, tigers, wolves... In fact, they solve many environmental problems, as well as various bacteria, which decompose things, and then the environment remains clean.

Today, we use spiritual eyes to see the spiritual world. The devil's attack is not a problem at all. From a human perspective, the devil's attack is a problem, but from a spiritual perspective, it is a good thing. If there is no devil's attack, how can we know the spiritual world? The devil's attack is not called an attack, but the devil is accomplishing God's plan.

If we carefully study the Bible, we will find that there are many spiritual things in the Bible. For example, Job was attacked by the devil, and as a result, Job was victorious. Then God blessed Job double. What was going on? In the beginning, the devil said to God, your servant Job seems pretty good. Let me try him. God said, you can try, but you cannot take his life, to see how Job will be.

After the devil tried it, it saw that Job was truly a God-fearing person. Finally, God's conversation with Job was also very interesting. Job said:

I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you. (Job 42:5)

If you want to see God with your own eyes, you really can't see Him without this devil. Like my mother, she got Alzheimer's because of the devil's attack. Therefore, I met a lot of devils: small crabs, dung beetles, old horses... This is really interesting. If they didn't come, we wouldn't know that these things really exist.

If there is no such thing, where does victory come from? Where is the opportunity for healing and deliverance to know God? In the past, I heard of God by the hearing of the ear, but now I know God with my own eyes. After listening to this, are you still afraid of the devil's attack today? Are you still afraid of the breaches in your life? Don't be afraid, because God has the final say!

The Key is to Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart, Soul, and Strength

There is another interesting thing. Two different people have the same breach, but one person is attacked by the devil, and the other is not. Why? Our God has also set a very interesting thing, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. God has prepared a ruler for each person, and the measurement on each person is different, like a rubber band.

For example, if I were to love with all my heart, soul, and strength like my mother, it would not be considered loving with all my heart, soul, and strength when placed in the ruler God has set for me. The ruler for each person is different. Brothers and sisters among us who are less gifted, you don't have to worry, you can also love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Some people are more gifted, so you cannot lower your standards. You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength according to what God requires of you.

Regardless of whether God gives you 1000 talents, 2000 talents, or 5000 talents, don't ask: why did you give me 1000 talents, but give others 2000 or 5000 talents? God is willing to give as He pleases. We must adjust our mentality. How to adjust? Just like when you are in college, the extent of your effort cannot be compared with those in elementary school or kindergarten. You should exert as much effort as you can.

There are also cases where, for example, for a period of time, we move forward with all our heart, soul, and strength. After this period, we begin to be a little lazy. Although we still attend meetings, we are no longer doing it with all our heart, soul, and strength. How does God allow you to grow at this time? At this time, the devil will come and poke you, and then poke you again. You feel that you are not good enough, and then you quickly repent, and you will learn a lesson.

I thank God for creating the devil, because the devil often comes to poke me, letting me know that I am not good enough. This is really interesting. I found that the devil is crouching in front of the door, staring at me every day, and taking pictures of me with a camera, and then taking them to God to accuse me.

The devil tells the truth when it accuses us, but the final decision is still in God's hands. If God does not permit it, not a single hair on your head will fall. What are you afraid of? You don't have to be afraid, and the problem is solved. Is this considered a breach? A breach is a breach, but you are also loving the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength, and God will accept you.

Because you believe in God, God considers you a righteous person. When you no longer believe, you are no longer a righteous person, and the devil can legally attack you. Therefore, thank God for creating the devil, because the devil lets us know that we must pursue diligently.

Are there any among us who say: I am tired, I want to rest, I don't want to run forward anymore, I will just stay here. You can choose to stay in place, but the question is, can you stay there? Therefore, today we must all learn a lesson, which is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength.

If you do not give it your all, and refuse to grow, then you must accept discipline. Discipline is a very interesting thing. Israel was destroyed by the Assyrian Empire, and God allowed Assyria to destroy it. Who destroyed the Kingdom of Judah? Babylon. Is this considered an attack by the devil? It's about the same thing. Because they did not love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, and strength. Therefore, we must know that the growth of your life is key, and you must strive to pursue in order to grow.

Some people don't understand, why is striving so tiring? I tell you, it is more tiring not to strive. When we strive, we will enjoy what we do. But if you do not strive, and do not give it your all, you will not be able to enjoy it.

Why not enjoy life? I figured it out, it is to give it your all. In fact, this is a logical system for us to live well. If you don't understand how to live well, then it is troublesome. Those who truly live well must learn one thing, do not think that everything is an attack by the devil. This is not the attitude we should have, but rather know how people should live in order to live well.

Strive to Live Out God's Glory

To simply live is one way, to live well is another. How then can we live well? God has long since revealed this to us. Our God is a God who does new things. Therefore, we must strive to pursue a greater understanding of God, and we will continually experience new things in Him. Each breakthrough brings about growth in life, and each breakthrough brings joy.

If you are stuck in one place for a long time, you will live a dull life, which in itself is a loss of the glorious image of God. So how can people live well? It is to strive to pursue, to love God with all your heart, soul, and strength, and then to have a destiny, a mission, to place the matter of living out God's glory in your heart.

There is a very strange thing in this generation, that is, people work hard for most of their lives, and in their 50s or 60s, they finally retire. Some people even retire in their 40s. What are they thinking? I am finally retired, so I must enjoy life.

In fact, retirement is not the key. They do not know that working is actually enjoying life. Some people desperately pursue retirement, but they end up getting sick, and as a result, they die not long after. This is very strange. Retirement kills people, while those who work live more and more prosperously.

Some of our brothers and sisters like to have their bodies checked. After the checkup, they find that this cell is too many, that cell is too many, this is over the limit, that is over the limit, and then they are scared to death. In fact, you don't need to care. I often exceed the limits, working hard, and nothing happens.

If you are this kind of person, you stop to rest, eat, drink, and be merry all day long, and then wait to die. I tell you, diseases will break out. Why? Because this is a lifestyle that is deficient in God's glory.

Therefore, today we must all begin to have a clearer understanding of these things. How should we understand it? That is, people live to manifest the glory of God, to live out the image of God, to become a blessing to others, and then begin to serve this generation. Is it tiring? Yes, it is tiring! But it is tiring with joy and health. Don't believe the attacks of the devil, just believe the word of God.

Believe in God's Sovereignty, Even the Devil is Good

Will the devil attack? What is there to fear about attacks? The devil attacks once, and God will greatly bless you once. In life, people often encounter this problem, that problem, but never forget that the foundation of our faith is God's sovereignty. If our God is in control, even if we are attacked by the devil, it is still a good thing, allowing us to experience God more.

You must know that our God is a good God, our God is the God who is in control of all things in the universe. Some of our brothers do business, and the devil attacks them, and the business is very bleak. Is there a problem? At that time, we must begin to be alert and learn to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength.

If we have a religious spirit on us, when the religious spirit attacks us, people will become very religious. In fact, it is not the devil who can decide what you do. In reality, you can still make decisions. Remove the religious spirit inside, and you will begin to be blessed financially and in all aspects.

If we remove all the attacks of the devil, how can we experience God? How can we be shaped into the glorious image of God? To cast out demons, there must be demons. If there are no demons, what are you casting out? After casting out demons, we will have a greater understanding of the spiritual realm.

Therefore, do not look at problems with human eyes. Begin to look at problems with a spiritual perspective. All things are good, even the attacks of the devil are good. From then on, we no longer need to be afraid.

What about the myth of breaches? I love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and strength. Even if I still have many breaches, many problems, and my behavior is not very good, but I believe in God, we strive to pursue, and then we will find that there are fewer and fewer problems. Does this not solve the problem? Do not turn things upside down. All things are still under God's control.

Conclusion

Therefore, once the myth of the devil's attack is removed, correct beliefs will be established, and then the foundation of your faith will be firm. Whenever we encounter any situation, we will examine ourselves well, remove the problems on ourselves, and bring down a victorious life. Each victory will receive more rewards from God, and we can become more and more like Jesus Christ in this world!

May God bless everyone!
