Conflict didn’t begin on earth; it began in heaven when Satan and his “angels” rebelled against God. Where you find Satan, you find conflict.
A play-action pass is where the quarterback receives the ball from the center. He turns and he fakes a handoff to the running back. The goal of the fake is to get the defense to trap the running back. The quarterback then tucks the ball and goes in the other direction to throw to a receiver. If he’s done his job well, the defense has been distracted for a moment, thinking that someone else has the ball so that the quarterback can throw it to a wide-open receiver.
Satan has run a play-action pass on us. He has faked us out with the wrong purpose and we keep chasing it so that he can distract us from the real play. Like a pickpocket who loves a crowd, Satan has been robbing you of your purpose, getting you distracted from God’s plan. He brings conflict into your life and will continue to do so. The answer is just a closer walk with Jesus. He is the answer for all conflicts.
What to do:
✞ Have victory over conflict by walking in the Spirit.
