ENEMY OF CHRISTIANS-- FRUSTRATION. I bring up another enemy, and that is frustration. The definition of frustration is: “A feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or depression, resulting from unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.” This definition says it all. In the Body of Christ I frequently run across people, good people, well intentioned people, that fit this description to a tee. They are dissatisfied with the church, with God, with themselves, and with their walk. This dissatisfaction leads to worry and sometimes even depression. Yes, it is a sad commentary, but there are many Christians that have dibbled and dabbled within the abyss of depression. What has happened to them? Some way, some how they have lost their hope. They have given up on their situation, their expectation, and sometimes on God altogether. Paul warned us not to be ignorant of the devil’s schemes, because if we are he will get an advantage over us (2nd Cor 2:11). One of the greatest schemes of the devil used to stop you from believing God is to tell you that “it” won’t happen. The enemy wants you to get frustrated and throw in the towel of belief. If he can get YOU to stop believing then YOU literally stop yourself from receiving. Frustration is the enemy of hope.
