Evidence of an Unseen Foe

“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” –Matthew 7:20.

There are some who won’t accept that evil spirits exist, but Christians believe every Word of God is true; and scripture says these entities are the real cause of conflicts, and ALWAYS disguise themselves in order to hide their involvement in our trials, and may even appear as angels of light.

            It was a Friday morning when I put new batteries in our weather station; a simple device which displays the indoor & outdoor temperatures on a base unit, and utilizes an  outdoor sensor.

            But strange things began to happen early Sunday night, just 2 days afterward; while looking at the outdoor temperature display, it began rising right before my eyes; it rose from 14 degrees right up through the 20s, and at 36 degrees I went outside to inspect, and retrieve the censor.

            We had placed the censor in a well sheltered area, and I didn’t notice anything visibly that could have affected it; which wasn’t a surprise! The rising temperature I’d witnessed made the circumstance all the more puzzling, and it was at that time when I’d started to pray. 

After I brought the censor inside, the temperature reading became consistent with the indoors, but some 20 minutes later the censor display went blank; which would indicate it needed new batteries, which we knew wasn’t the case. It remained in this condition until I went to bed, and though still trusting the Lord, it was a real possibility that the unit might need replacing.

But we thank the Lord for His mercy that He didn’t allow our enemy’s attack to succeed; for the next morning we found the censor reading normally, and it’s been functioning well ever since then.

The devil certainly vexes God’s children in many ways, but the Lord showed me a further reason for this particular strike; for on the day before it happened, I’d testified to someone of an earlier time God had unexpectedly provided the money we needed for a new weather station; nearly exact at 15 cents above the cost! Our adversary hates when we share, & glorify God, so he’d struck our current weather station for payback; yet his rage exposed that he was behind it, and by God’s grace we prayed & resisted.

What goes on in the spiritual realm is seldom obvious to our eyes, but sometimes God’s Opponent will show up, and reveal himself through events which are  impossible to explain, or at least very unlikely; except for those who believe by FAITH that every Word of God is true.

 Let us remember that Jesus gave His disciples authority over all the power of the enemy, so that when such instances do present themselves, take the time to bind these evil spirits in Jesus’ name, and command them to leave. God’s Word for us is His OATH, and it tells us to, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
