Unfortunately, millions of churchgoers have been led to believe that they are fighting a one-handed boxer\u2014one that cannot deliver a spiritual death blow.&nbsp; In short, most of the church is not watching for the right hook.&nbsp; No wonder the Bible tells us that many people will fall away from the faith in the last days.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Christian websites, radio programs, etc. contain some useful information. However, the moment we notice a trend of agitation and fear mongering regarding physical threats beginning to form on such sites, we need to start asking what spirit is guiding the people behind them.&nbsp; After all, God is not&nbsp;the author of fear, agitation, etc.&nbsp; Satan is.&nbsp; And so, if all that is being heard from such sources is on potential&nbsp;<strong>PHYSICAL<\/strong> threats then maybe we need to realize that our attention is getting diverted from the real threat, that which is <strong>SPIRITUAL<\/strong> in nature (e.g., doctrines of devils that can easily lead a person astray).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
