You gotta realize how powerful you are. You have to know that your warfare is real. How well you fight is important. If you didn't have greatness within you, the enemy wouldn't come for you. But you see, he has to come for you because he's afraid of you tapping into what's already on the inside of you! If you really tap in... if you really dig deep into your anointing, call and purpose, you will enter a supernatural place of favor, blessings and breakthrough from God. And guess what, the enemy hates that!
Let me give you reasons why the enemy attacks your purpose:
1. Your Purpose Glorifies God
Isaiah 43:7 (NIV)
"Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."
Satan hates anything that brings glory to God. Your purpose is tied to God's glory, so he attacks it to prevent God from being magnified through your life.
2. Your Purpose Advances the Kingdom of God
Matthew 6:10 (KJV)
"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
When you walk in purpose, you help establish God's will and kingdom on earth. The enemy will do anything to stop that advancement.
3. Your Purpose Destroys the Works of the Devil
1 John 3:8 (NIV)
"The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work."
Jesus’ purpose was to destroy the works of the devil, and as His followers, we share that mission. Your purpose poses a threat to demonic systems and strongholds.
4. Your Purpose Impacts Others’ Salvation and Freedom
Romans 8:19 (NIV)
"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."
Many destinies are connected to your obedience. If you fulfill your purpose, others will be saved, healed, or set free. The devil tries to stop you to block a chain reaction of deliverance.
5. Your Purpose Brings Identity and Power
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
When you walk in purpose, you walk in divine identity and authority.
The devil prefers to keep you confused, insecure, and powerless.
6. Your Purpose Has Eternal Rewards
2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV)
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness..."
The enemy wants you to forfeit your eternal reward. By causing distractions, delays, and detours, he tries to make you give up before the finish line.
7. Your Purpose Builds Faith and Pleases God
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
"But without faith it is impossible to please him..."
Walking in purpose requires faith. The enemy attacks your purpose because he knows faith pleases God and invites His power.
8. Your Purpose Is a Weapon Against Darkness
Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)
"You are the light of the world... let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Your purpose brings light to dark places. The devil hates light because it exposes his lies. You shine when you live on purpose.
