Why is the devil still trying to persecute me?
The devil knows that God answered my prayers in June 2008, but he is trying to block what God is trying to release to me. The Bible says that Daniel's prayers were blocked for 21 days because Satan was fighting with God's angels.
In addition, the devil knows that I am a threat to him or as Creflo Dollar said in his sermon entitled, "Enduring Persecution:
"I understand that any believer that becomes so committed to God's word, to standing on that Word and won't let it go, you're going to be proof to others that it works and Satan can't allow that much infallible proof to be existing on the planet. You become the evidence for heaven." (Oct. 15, 2009)
In part 2 of this sermon he adds, "Persecution will arise because of the Word because if that Word grows up and is manifested in your life, it becomes infallible proof for people who see it in your life and now Satan is at risk of losing other people, not because of the written epistle, but because of the living epistles that are producing the harvests."
Rick Joyner also put things in persepective in his book, "Overcoming Evil in the Last Days." On page 10 he writes, "If the Lord had wanted things to be easy for us he could have bound the devil immediately after his resurrection. We must understand that the battle we are engaged in is a good fight. There can be no victories without a battle. We have been entrusted with divinely powerful weapons that no evil can stand against. The Bible is God's plan, and if you have not done so yet, read the story-we win! You are on the side that cannot lose. The battle is for our sake, so that we can grow in the character and faith which will decide the authority that we are entrusted with in the age to come."
