The thirsty mosquito

I discovered how Satan tries to get me, and by the way he does a good job of it. He tries to get me to be crass and foolish. His hope is that I will start justifying the smallest microscopic work of iniquity. He is like a tiny mosquito( but it hums Beethoven) that can crawl through the smallest crack in the window of your soul. He is loud enough that you can hear him through the glass. You let him in because you love his music. When he gets in, he starts sucking your entire life out of you. He has an appetite bigger than any other mosquito. It really feels beautiful when he bites you and by the time you start to feel it, you are totally drained of the lifeblood ( the holy spirit). This beautiful mosquito knows exactly what music you like. After you smash him, he comes back to life about three weeks later. Then it comes and you hear "Ode to Joy". He tickles your ears and you forget what he did the last time. Then the cycle repeats itself. I The trick is that we need to say to ourselves, "Hmmm... this sounds very familiar..." If we don't, we will have to face the music again. The music is always tantalizing to our ears and we open the window again. Maybe just one day, we'll be smart enough not to open the window. We will always hear the music until the day we die, but we don't have to open the window. He is very cunning, but once we figure out all his games, he isn't even good background music. I wonder if this is it. The slightest voice we hear, that makes us argue with ourselves, might make us fall completely apart again. We need to test the spirits. Here is a passage on this subject from ephesians chapter six.


¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ^13
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
