Ephesians 6:16 Friend in Mashiach (MessiYah) YashaYaH HauHay, some call Christ, there is nothing that more clearly indicates that we have succumbed to the schemes of the devil than to complain about our lot in life. Again and again, the Word of AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) shows that the mark of a Believer/Christian who has learned how to be a Believer/Christian is that he rejoices in everything and gives thanks in all things. Understand, this does not mean that AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) expects us to enjoy every circumstance in our lives! Nor does it mean that we should merely pretend to rejoice in everything. There is nothing as ghastly as the forced smile people put on and the superficial attitude they assume in the midst of difficulties because they think this is what a Believer/Christian ought to do. The truth of Scripture is that it is genuinely possible to rejoice even through tears and pain and there is nothing that more surely indicates that we have failed to understand what it means to be a Believer/Christian than a whining, complaining, self-pitying attitude toward what happens to us in life. Do not be surprised at the devils attack. Of course he attacks! That is his character. That is his nature. Do not complain that you are being treated unfairly. That is the nature of life--struggle, warfare, and satanic attack. Furthermore, AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) allows the devil to attack. This is the clear revelation of Scripture. AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) permits these attacks because, for one thing, we need them. We never would develop or grow properly if we were not attacked in this manner--and this is what ultimately accomplishes AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה)s will for our lives. The whole outworking of AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה)s eternal plan could never be brought to pass were it not that AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) permits the devil to operate within his limited sphere of activity. Let us never forget that. AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) allows these things to happen, and all the writers of Scripture agree on this. Peter says, Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you (1 Peter 4:12). And AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) YashaYaH (יהושע) Himself said, In this world you will have trouble. But He goes on to add, But take heart! I have overcome the world! (John 16:33). But this is exactly the opposite of the way we frequently feel. When attacked, we tend to think that something most unusual is happening to us. No one has ever gone through what we are going through. No one has had to undergo the depression of spirit we feel. But Paul says, No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). So stop complaining about what happens. It is AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה)s will for you. Let us face that fact. And instead of a fretful, peevish, whining attitude, let us do what the Word of AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) says to do when these things occur: Put on the full armor of AHaYaH HauHaY (YHUH יהוה) so that you can take your stand against the devils schemes. There is no other way to handle the devils attacks. There is no other solution to these basic human problems.
