There is an enemy who is a bully; he has existed since the beginning of time. When we accept Christ into our hearts, we also learn who this enemy is and what he is capable of. He enjoys keeping Christians upset and divided because when united he has a harder time creating problems and gaining control of situations. In the world, he is fed daily and remains healthy as it is his kingdom and without realizing it many, including believers, cater to him. However, he knows in Gods kingdom he is not so popular. As he did in the Garden of Eden when he convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, he uses the same tactics on believers today and many times we do not even realize he is the one behind our problems with one another. It's just like Eve did not realize it was Satan who tempted her with the fruit. Oh, and he watches; he watches every argument we have, the way we react to one another and will find a way to slither into the situation without us even knowing it. He may not know our thoughts but has been around us enough to know what makes us sad or angry and will use a situation to upset us. We have to be on guard and careful, so he doesn't get into our relationships. We are not the enemy to one another and certainly the Lord is not the enemy. Satan is the enemy and the bully in all things.
