Usually the good I would do, such as talk, hold a conversation, write a short poem, essay or paper, usually something in the way of a negative or goofy thought, or something abominably evil, I find lying at the door.
Even in Bible studies and prayer I find this. Throughout the day I find this.
Part of the Devil's strategy is establishing strongholds that would overwhelm. He is ever present and I beleive he bothers most those who have chosen to follow the Lord Jesus.
I am praying for all of you, that as an "internet" body (so to speak) we are aware and not ignorant of Satan's desire to sift and destroy us, or at best hinder the Word of God, and His witness.
Paul didn't just say, "Pray without ceasing", as a pious religious feeling statement of apostleship, He said it because Satan had almost destroyed him, and had it not been for the circumstance of God's direction and the love of God in Christ Jesus, he would have.
Remember we have the weapons God has provided us with, the truth of the Gospel, His righteousness, His Spirit, the promise of the blessedness of His peace and assured salvation, and above all, as Abraham, He gave us His shield of faith.
We have the MIRACLE of GOD'S WORD. The assurance of HIS PROMISES
and the SPIRIT BEARING WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT. I Hope and pray that your faith increase more and more, and that He would multiply seed to you as sowers of God's word, and that as you make peace the fruit of His righteousness will be sown in peace exactly as it is written.
Shalom
