Distraction, #1 tool of Satan in 2009

January 1, 2009 in my morning devotions, I heard God say to me, "Distraction is going to be the primary tool the devil will use in 2009." Distraction as in anything that will divert your attention away from your primary goals or objectives. Attempting to turn you away from the very thing you are passionate about or that you are called to accomplish. Jesus was distracted by the devil in the garden while fasting and praying for his launch of his ministry. Satan was trying to distract Jesus from his primary purpose; obtain the anointing to begin his ultimate ministry on earth. When Satan tried to "distract" Jesus through temptation, Jesus said, "Get behind me Satan." This is simplicity was saying, "Satan, get out of my face." We must get every distraction, that is temptation, troubles or problems away from our attention. Turn it off, shut it down or rebuke whatever it is trying to make you loose your concentration.
