Be a Prayer Warrior
Of course, we shouldn’t seek out the Devil or his demons but if you have the enemy on your back, then you must be doing something right. For me, it seems when I pray, I get the most awful thoughts coming through my mind. I know it’s the enemy and not the Spirit, so I pray that God protect my thoughts and keep my mind on those things which are lovely, pure, and holy.
Dive into the Word
One way to keep yourself in Satan and his demons line of vision is to dive into the Word on a regular basis. I say “dive into it,” meaning, you dive in and swim around for a while, and soak in as much as you can, but when you get to the part where the Devil and his demons are cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:10). That’s not going to make the enemy happy. You can be sure of that.
Evangelize
Churches must either evangelize or fossilize, but when they do, they must recognize they’re going into enemy territory. Satan doesn’t want us to witness to the lost who are at present, are dead in their sins (Eph 2:1). If you want to be on Satan’s most wanted list, just try witnessing to the lost and see what happens.
Forsake All for Him
Jesus tells us that whoever does not forsake all for Him cannot even be His disciple. That’s a very sobering verse, isn’t it, but that’s just what Jesus bids us to do. Jesus said, “Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 11:25), and “If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him” (John 11:26). This isn’t a Sunday only religion. It penetrates into our everyday living. Live like that and you’ve got the enemies attention.
Conclusion
Why would anyone actually seek to have Satan’s attention? I don’t think you need to. He and his demons are already working hard against those who pray consistently, those who study the Word daily, those who witness frequently, and those who have forsaken their own lives for Christ.
