Do Not Stir Up Your Opponent

 Do Not Stir Up Your Opponent

Proverbs 18:6-7---A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

1st Peter 5:8--- your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The power of darkness seeking your downfall has direct access to your inner life. There are exterior or external influences of the darkness in your life, but the battle of all battles takes place within you. Your great adversary is often so close to you the adversary remains hidden. To defeat this opponent, do not stir up the opponent when the opponent is quiet. Instead, attack the opponent when the opponent is quiet. Think of your inner opponent or adversary as a hornet's nest. To score a victory against the hornet's nest, you need to attack the beehive while the Hornets are dormant. When you live with or face adversity, attack the adversity when the adversity is quiet and dormant. For example, if you are in grief or loss, attack the grief and loss when the grief and loss are not causing you as much pain and distress.
