I've been studying up on spiritual warfare and trying to study more of Isaiah and Revelations and a few other prophetic books in the Scriptures. These past few weeks since I started studying this topic in more depth, I feel like I'm being attacked by Satan through people around me that I have to work with or in my family. There's been a spirit of contention at my workplace and the home where I'm currently staying at (due to financial reasons). It's been really hard dealing with these situations/people. At work, I feel like I'm the more trusted person, and I'm really good friends with my supervisor since I've worked here before several years back. A lot of people don't like it that I'm here, and so now that my supervisor has been out of the office for the past week or so I think my co-workers (one in particular, the rest just follow her lead) are taking everything out on me. She just likes to fight and have conflict and I'm not playing her little game, so she gets really mad. At the home I'm staying at, it's family who I'm staying with, I feel like Satan has really gotten a hold of some of them and they too are trying to start problems with me.I've just been feeling really stressed out, and exhausted.
So, after a few weeks of all this going on, last night I just could not sleep. I kept waking up and thinking about some of the confrontations I've had and I guess just trying to think of what I could do to avoid problems. The phrase that keeps coming back to my mind over and over again is: "Love your enemies". I prayed off and on all night long, and asked the Lord to help me to do that and to get through this.
It's hard especially when they yell at me, talk about me behind my back, and say hurtful things to me. I guess I must be doing something right if I'm having so much opposition, right?
