Revelation 12:17 (KJV) And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The time that I and you have found ourselves should no longer be strange to us , rather than be intimidated, We must be addicted to the divine scriptural techniques Revealed in God’s word .
To be able to Resist The wrath and evil agenda of this last day Dragon.
Through the deep Revelation of the scripture, We discovered that this end time Dragon knew the best time to lunch an attack against believers .
When Does He use to lunch his attacks according to the revelation of the scripture.
1. After A Great Spiritual Experience
We find that Jesus was attacked by Satan right after His baptism.
This should teach us a lesson. After a great spiritual experience we should be ready and build ourselves against spiritual attacks from the enemy.
2. At The Beginning Of A New Spiritual Endeavor
Satan also will attack when someone is beginning a new spiritual quest. Right after Jesus was attacked by the Devil, He began His public ministry.
From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near” (Matthew 4:17).
Knowing Jesus was about to begin His ministry, Satan attacked Him.
3. When Believers Are Physically Vulnerable
We also find Satan coming when believers are in a weak position – either physically or emotionally. Jesus was attacked after He had fasted for forty days.
He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards He was famished. The tempter came and said to Him, “If indeed You are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread” (Matthew 4:2,3).
4. When A Believer Is Alone
We also find Satan attacking when people are alone.
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil (Matthew 4:1).
5. From An Unexpected Source
Often times Satan will attack us from an unexpected source – someone from whom we do not think.
6. Always Comes Back And Attacks Again
After Satan attacks a believer and then leaves, he always returns again.
When the Devil had finished every test, he departed from Him until an opportune time (Luke 4:13).
Though the believer may win a temporary victory over the Devil in their spiritual battle, Satan will return to fight at another time.
We must be constantly alert to the fact that Satan is working overtime to see to our downfall or weakening our spiritman .
He has no compassion, he doesn’t care how hard life is for you or all the things you have gone through. He rejoices in our difficulties and only wants to add to them.
His greatest endure is to make sure we ignore the warning of the holy spirit, whereby causing shipwreck to our faith .
When our conscience becomes hardened to the point that we no longer hear or heed the voice of the Holy Spirit, our faith becomes like a splintered ship, tossed against the rocky shore, useless and abandoned.

9 WAYS WHICH THIS DRAGON Seeks Your Destruction.
1. He plants doubts and lies (Gen. 3)
One of the biggest doubts he plants in your heart is about the goodness of God. “How can a good God possibly let some of these horrible and hard things happen to you?”
2. He fights against your faith (Eph 6:12)
One thing the Devil is not is lazy. He is very active roaming around seeking to destroy.
He has an arsenal full of tactics and will not hesitate to do whatever it takes to maim our faith.
3. He will tempt you with sexual immorality (1 Cor. 7:5)
Both in person and online sexual temptations abound and Satan will make sure to set them before your eyes.
4. He will try to cause disunity amongst Christians (Mt 13:38-39; 2 Cor 11:13-15).
Beware of even the smaller conflicts that arise between brothers and sisters.
The Devil is well skilled at using such things to erode fellowship and breed discontent.
5. He will Make men to slander .
in an effort to discredit you. And attack you with discouragement
6 . He will try to take you down through pride (1 Pet 5:6-8)
Pride is a dangerous sin because it gives birth to almost every other sin.
So Satan will spend a lot of time trying to convince you of the fact that “self” is king.
7. He will persecute you for your faith (Rev 2:10)
8. He will try to cripple your faith through fear (2 Cor 4:8-9)
Fear has its place–you are called to fear the Lord. But Satan will tempt you to fear earthly things instead.
This kind of fear will blind you to the power, goodness and sovereignty of God.
It will cause you to take your eyes off of Jesus and onto our circumstances.
9. He will try to sidetrack you with worldly things. (1John 2:15-16)
We are a people who are easily distracted especially by all the new, shiny and exciting things that world has to offer.
Therefore Satan will use the beautiful things, even good things, to draw your attention and devotion from Jesus.
Let’s watch and pray against the attack of this Dragon.
