The home is a spiritual battlefield!

The Lord desires to establish our homes as heavenly realms.

Therefore, the Lord has given us the dual commandment of Jesus,

which is the commandment of heaven (Mt. 22:37, 39).

Additionally, along with the Holy Spirit, God pours His love into us (Rom. 5:5),

progressively filling us with the fruit of the Spirit, which is love (Gal. 5:22).

Thus, our responsibility is to obey these commandments and, guided by the Holy Spirit,

have our entire family love God wholeheartedly, with one mind and one purpose (Phil. 1:27; 2:2).

We should love God with all our hearts and love each other as ourselves.

When we do this, our home becomes more like heaven,

filled with the joy of heaven (Jn. 15:11; 1 Jn. 1:4), love (Ps. 33:5), and peace (Rom. 15:13).

Satan desires to turn our homes into hell.

Thus, Satan works to make us disobedient (Eph.2:2; 5:6) to the dual commandment of Jesus,

which is the commandment of heaven, and instead instigates us to hate each other,

which is the commandment of hell (Gen. 37:5; Exod. 22:13; Mt. 24:10; 1 Jn. 2:9).

Moreover, along with the spirit of falsehood, Satan constantly sows hatred in us

(Deut. 21:17; 2 Sam. 13:15; Prov. 10:12), leading us to engage in dark deeds

(Isa.29:15; Ezek.8:12; Eph.5:11), resulting in the bitter fruits of our homes (Rom. 7:5).

Therefore, Satan aims to make us not want to be in a hell-like home.

Instead, he may tempt us to roam outside the house

or even make us want to distance ourselves far away from home.

Satan also seeks to make us not want to see our family members.

Moreover, Satan works to make us hate our spouses even more.

In the growing hatred toward our spouses, Satan watches for the cracks in marital relationships

(Note: Neh.4:3, in Hebrew “breach”; 6:1), making us interested in other men/women.

Along with the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh (1 Jn. 2:16),

Satan tempts us to desire these other partners, eventually leading to infidelity.

The purpose of all this is that Satan aims to demolish and destroy our homes, preventing them

from becoming heavenly realms and, instead, turning our homes into hell-like environments.

This is spiritual warfare!  The home is a spiritual battlefield!
