My apologies. I thought you speaking subjectively about A child of the enemy, etc. Did not know you were talking about a personal experience!

No apology needed. This experience came to mind as I read what Lori said here.

Quote
amen...as I was looking into this question I was reminded that for many of us, it is easy to say yes I would stand firm because I love God more than even my life...but what happens when the threat is against others if I do not renounce God...that puts a whole new spin on persecution.

When we think of who our enemy is we might be thinking that they are who we're told they're supposed to be by those in power in world. We're told when we watch the news who our enemy is supposed to be and it's like they're all reading from the same script. I view this as a diversion from the real truth. We're told who our real enemy is in the scriptures.

1Pet.5:8 Be alert, be reflective, because your enemy Satan roars like a lion and is walking and seeking whom he may devour. 9 Stand against him, therefore, being firm in your faith, and know also that sufferings come against your brethren who are in the world.

Eph. 6:12 Because your fight has not been with flesh and blood, but with Principalities and The Rulers and The Powers of this dark world and with wicked spirits which are under Heaven.

2Cor. 11:13 For these are false Apostles and treacherous workers and they liken themselves to the Apostles of The Messiah. 14 And not to wonder at this, for if he who is Satan resembles an Angel of light, 15 It is not a great matter if also his Ministers imitate Ministers of righteousness, those whose end will be like their works.

And how many of those who are in power took Satan up on his offer. The one that Jesus rejected. For those who have taken him up on his offer, that would explain a lot of the things we see going on in the world because the thief came to steal, kill and destroy. And not just those in high positions but many others who seek wealth and power and who have great influence in the world. We see how bad things are getting and who is really behind it all.

Matt. 4:8 Again, the devil took him up into an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And said unto him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.
10 Then said Jesus unto him, Begone, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the LORD your God, and him only shall you serve.

When I posted this, Brian wanted me to see who listed Satan as our enemy...bravo...from the scriptural standpoint, evil, whether from Satan, false teachers, or even our own sins are the enemy.  I do think though that there is room in scripture for other enemies as well, but amen, well said.
