In what ways do you need to act differently when it comes to handling accusation?
What are some of the accusations Satan uses to tear down believers today?
Why it is hard to ignore those accusations?
Sometimes we try to "earn" God's love and acceptance eventhough we already have it.
Tell me your thoughts.

It is only by having the Holy Spirit can one defend themselves against attacks by the enemy. Satan is a spirit being. The war he wages is a spiritual war. If anyone thinks a mortal can overcome the dark forces of the spiritual world without the armor of God is gravely mistaken.

There are TWO kinds of Accusations!
1. Those from Satan, = = (Rev 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: = = for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, = = which accused them before our God = = day and night.
2. And there is THE CONVICTOR! (Eph 4:30) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. ALSO SEE, John 16:7-to-12
WHEN ONE THAT IS A CHRISTIAN, disobeys the Word of GOD, the Holy Spirit = = CONVICTS = = That person of Sin!
IF THEY do not respond in Repentance and in Obedience [See Luke 6:46 & James 1:22] Then THE FATHER has to SPANK IS CHILD = = See Hebrews 12:5-to-8
For more, Please write me!
Thanks, RR

The response always is determined by what kind of accusation is handed down. From people, the best response is typically a gentle attitude with a simple explanation of what needs to be said. Catch more flies with honey than vinegar, as the saying goes.
I'll bet Satan isn't much for attacking people who don't get riled up when he does his worst. He seems at his worse when people crumble at his every word. Try instead to acknowledge his presense behind your struggles, and turn directly to God and ask for his help in overcoming them.

The best way to deal with being accused by the enemy is to think WHAT WOULD JESUS DO.
Satan will try anything and everything to tear down believers in God & Jesus. His time is short in this battle between good and evil and he knows it, so he will tempt us, or try very hard to get us away from God & Jesus any way he can.He tells us many things to please us or persecute us in hopes that we will turn to him.
It's hard to ignore those things Satan does to try to get us away from God & Jesus, but we must remain strong in our beliefs. Bible reading, Devotional reading,church all help us to do this.
We all have Gods love, he loves us, but sometimes we slip and fall, then we try all over again to earn his love, and like the father he is, he forgives us and again we try harder for his love and acceptance. He does love his children, so if you read the Bible, go to church, do anything you can to please him (as told in the Bible) your on the right track to Gods love and acceptance.

As a Christian, you are not meant to see anybody as 'the enemy':
"Love thy neighbour as thyself."
"Before you point out the speck in your neighbours eye, remove the log from thine own."
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
"Turn the other cheek."
"Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do."
It's not easy following the instruction of Christ. But it wasn't easy for Jesus to allow himself be nailed to a cross to die. The problem today is that Christians are looking for a kind of McDonalds Christianity, where everything is easy and convenient. Where they can just ask for no ketchup, and recieve it so, or just pick out the pickle if they don't like it.
That kind of convenience culture Christianity is an example of this Satan you speak of tearing down your belief.

Its very hard... I try to "turn the other cheek".. I often ask myself "What would Jesus do"... also go in the bible where Jesus was tempted by satan.............see the examples...
Satan: anything negative and against the Lords word...
Its very hard to ignore accusations but the Lord always gives us a way out,,,its our choice....
I know that I could never love God like he does me...I try to go by his word "love is patient, love is kind,..."
Its okay to be angry yet what you do with that anger is where you can get yourself in trouble...........Jesus got angry...........
Just remember we are not perfect. We do the best we can do and we try to lead a life based upon Jesus character.... We try not to be a stumbling block for others.......

The "enemy". Where did Christ teach you to see your fellow man as an enemy? You people are beyond help and beneath contempt.

"Like a lamb to the slaughter, he opened not his mouth". If we are to be Christlike - there is our example, no?
Anyway - you are supposed to be prayerful, and the Holy Spirit will give you the words to say. It's scriptural. Look it up.
Peace.
