The worst attacks of Satan I have ever heard of are striking God’s people right now. Here is what you do. September 29, 2013 BY MARIO MURILLO mariomurilloministries The letters in my mail bag lately have shaken me to my core. These are the most vicious attacks I have ever heard of. More of you than ever are locked in the battle of your life. With breathtaking suddenness, Satan has stripped people of everything but their soul. Dear Friend, I read your letters. It is a cherished part of my ministry. Yes my prime directive is to “Preach the Gospel to this generation with ever increasing effectiveness”, but there is another urgent calling on my life. I am called to our partners. You are an important part of my calling. Our main intercessors have been involved with MMM for over 30 years! We rarely talk about it, but we have watched your children grow up, wept with you over your losses, fought for marriages and rejoiced in your victories. We have helped some of you find a home church, a college for your kids and even jobs! Some are surprised when I answer their letters, emails and phone calls personally. As a matter of fact, as the ministry grew, I was advised many times to turn this part of my ministry over to others because I was so busy. Those that know me well know that I will never stop pastoring our partners. Your letter is important because we can pray over your need. They are just as important because they let me know how the enemy operates. It is impossible to answer every letter. This is why I work hard to make Fresh Fire a personal letter that answers the needs I read about in your prayer requests. Yes, Fresh Fire is a window to our work worldwide and a vital source of love gifts to win souls but to me it is so much more than that! The letters in my mail bag lately have shaken me to my core. These are the most vicious attacks I have ever heard of. More of you than ever are locked in the battle of your life. With breathtaking suddenness, Satan has stripped people of everything but their soul. I took your letters, my Bible and a deeply burdened heart to prayer. I asked the Lord to open my understanding. I asked Jesus to rise up and rebuke the devourer. What you are about to read emerged from that time of prayer. When my understanding was opened I saw something strange. This new attack is like a dragon with three heads. I want to warn you that you may see yourself in the portrait that I am about to paint. Be prayerful over this letter. God wants to use it to identify your attack and to arm you to slay it. This letter will not spell the end of attacks on you but it will give you the divine edge you need right now! Remember, these attacks are not reported by weak or carnal Christians, but by warriors of God on the front line! shot copy Here are the three heads of the dragon. The first attack I see is like a poisonous bite, the second is like suffocating squeeze and the last is like claws tearing lives apart. This is the trifecta of tribulation! 1. The serpent’s bite. You feel toxic. Something has bitten you. You feel that you are gradually losing control of your body and mind. Your heart races and fearful images flood your mind. You reel under a cloud of confusion. You jump from one solution to another trying to get the upper hand but all the while feeling that something outside you has taken control of your life. You are exhausted. The least demand of your day can drain you. You find yourself alone and crying and unable to explain your emotions to even your closest friend. The people you love are drifting away. You are gripped with paralyzing feelings of dread. You feel helpless to make important decisions. You sense disaster is just around the corner. 2. The serpent’s squeeze. This attack is sudden and crippling. Something came out of nowhere and changed your life in an instant. Your crisis is mummifying you. You want to run but you cannot move. You want to scream but your voice is trapped within you. This attack often strikes at a time when all is going well. It feels as if everything that could go wrong has gone wrong and there is no way out. You cannot breathe. The point of this attack is panic. The enemy wants you to do something rash. The devil wants you to abandon your place in God. He wants to do permanent damage. 3. The serpent’s claws: This attack is designed to tear people apart. For silly reasons, people take offense. Disagreements that should be settled easily escalate into name calling, abuse of power, and end in incurable breaches. Marriages are breaking up over trivial matters. Churches are splitting over inane issues. Children are turning on their parents without provocation or prior history of problems. Friends who once walked together suddenly become worst enemies bent on each other’s destruction. A disgusting wave of believer on believer hatred is spreading. Yes, these three shocking attacks are everywhere. Not a day passes where I do not hear of each and everyone. From all quarters I am getting desperate prayer requests. People say, “Please pray I am so down I cannot get out of bed,” or “I am drowning in fear,” or “I do not know what is going on, friends and family are tearing each other apart!” blog woman There is not doubt that we must take drastic action! We must not panic or cave into the trap of Satan. We must not forget our God and the power of His word. So please take a deep breath and listen to this strategy to neutralize your Satanic attack! The word react kept coming back to me again and again. The Holy Spirit kept saying, “Learn how to react to your attack.” Victory and defeat are not decided by what happens to me. I choose the result. It kept coming over and over…react, react, and react. Then it turned into REACT, REACT, and REACT! Finally, it was R.E.A.C.T. An acronym for: Remember Enforce Abandon Continue Train. Here is a 5 step strategy to stop these vicious new attacks and launch a withering counterattack! Remember! You must remember the amazing victories of your past and how you won those battles. Psalm 20 “some trust in chariots but we will remember the Lord our God.”You must remember your God. Nehemiah 4:14 says “remember the awesomeness of God and fight…” You must remember who you are and what your future is. Abigail reminded David that he was a king and to judge himself against 1Sam:25:29 his future. Finally Paul said, in Romans 8:18 “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that will be revealed in us!” The thing you want to do most now is to get relief from the pain of raging storm. The devil would gladly give you peace. You simply have to give up on what you were born to do. Enforce! You must enforce the victory of the Cross on Satan! Things are not what they seem. You know that Satan is the master of disguise. If you leave it to Lucifer to define your reality defeat is certain. The devil relies on your weakness of mind to keep the lie going. Our enemy kills through special effects. Bending reality is his stock and trade. The goal of his smoke and mirrors is to get you to accept disaster. He cannot kill you but he can get you to kill yourself through a fatal panic attack. (insert Luke 21) It is up to you to impose reality on the evil one. He must know that he cannot win. He must suffer the results of 2 Corin 10:4. You must put your foot where it rightfully belongs; on the small of his neck! No matter how out of control your crisis feels the truth is that God is in control and you are His einforcer! Abandon: In every attack there is something you must abandon, something that you are holding onto that is actually holding onto you. 2Tim 2:24 (insert). You may want something bad to happen to someone else. You may be fantasizing about a destructive relationship. You may be entertaining suicidal images. You cannot hold these and gain victory. Forgive your enemy; cut of the parasites, lighten your load so that you can attack with speed and clarity. There may be someone that is no longer supposed to be in your life. As T.D. Jakes said, “their part of the story is over, let them go.” Continue: You were doing something that forced the devil to attack you. Some harbor the illusion that Satan will let up if we stop doing what riled him up in the first place. The opposite is true. You must redouble your efforts to do whatever you did that made Satan mad. If you cave in, it will embolden him to do this to you again. On the other hand, if you press on, it will show him that future attacks are futile. The secret to your victory is to declare your intention to do more than you did before. Look at Peter. He was beaten for the healing of the man at the gate beautiful and ordered not to preach about Jesus. What was his reaction? To pray for boldness to preach and for more miracles! Acts 4:29 “Lord Behold their threats and grant unto your servants boldness that we may preach your word while You stretch forth your hand to heal and let signs and wonders be done in the name of your holy Child Jesus.” At the moment that you least want to you must get up and rage against the dragon. He must understand that you are not going to back down, back up or back out of your marriage, ministry, family, career and your life. Figure out what it is that you were doing that this dragon hated most. Tell him you will to do it again, do it more and better do it than ever. The humiliation that Satan hurled at me through the pastor’s lunch only forged a deeper determination to get workers to win souls. dragon blog copy Train: Yes, you will see victory. However, victory is no time to let up. It is the scourge of our flesh that we do not like to get ready for future attacks. Our flesh takes no thought for intense prayer or setting in place a strategy for future attacks. George Barna said that the majority of pastors today preach motivational sermons but they do not teach strategy. When Paul said in 2Cor 2:11 (insert) he was training the Corinthians to fight and to be ready for the next fight. When General Patton said, “no amount of courage will avail against an educated bullet,” he was talking about the urgency of training. Spirit-filled bravado is useless unless it is backed up by a life that is an educated bullet. After every attack every believer needs to go through a debriefing! Now is the time to ask urgent questions. What did you learn from your last attack? What were the mistakes and pitfalls you will avoid next time? What weakness in me does the enemy use to get in and disrupt my life? What will I do now to keep friendships strong, my body healthy, my children safe, my marriage loving and my money secure against future assaults? So here is the bottom-line. You are not crazy. Your attacks are vicious, intense, and completely unfair. The essence of your crisis is supernatural. This is why your counterattack must be supernatural! These 5 steps are not human wisdom, or soothing psycho-gooblygook. You can rest in the power of God and the Word of God for victory if you will REACT!!
