Revelation 12.17 observes he will make war on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. The enemy of God targets men who love God as demonstrated by their obedience to God and their confession that Jesus alone is the only means to heaven.

Those who claim to be Christian but deny its truth by their disobedience and belief that all roads lead to heaven are of no concern to the enemy of God but rather serve as his ally.

The enemy of God hates God but is powerless against Him so he turns his wrath upon God’s children – those who obey God and proclaim Jesus as the only Savior of the world.

Those who seek to please God and make Jesus known in the world are a target for the enemy; as a result many suffer just as God suffered in Jesus when He lived among us in the flesh.

God defeats His enemy not through brute force but through humility and sacrifice; God’s people win by laying down their lives not keeping them.

If we would be a people that would attract the attention of God and demons then we must pursue obedience to God as defined by the Scripture and work to make Jesus known in the world as God’s provision for man’s reconciliation to God.

It is far easier to fit into the world and thus become ignored by God’s enemy however the cost is to also be ignored when God gives His eternal rewards.

Jesus commands we deny ourselves and take up our cross, laying down our lives for Him and the gospel if we truly wish to be His people.

When God returns in Jesus and makes a new heaven and a new earth it will be for those who were faithful to the end; those who obey God and proclaim Jesus as Savior.
