The devils helpers

I have a belief about something, see who agrees.The devil can mislead people,etc. But some things I don't see the devil as doing ,is,he doesn'tb contact us personally.Like, who of us can say, the devil called or texted us on our cell phone and said, "I'm the devil, and I'm here to harass you."HOWEVER,what I DO believe is that the devil puts some people of his choosing in our lives, to cause us problems..It's happened to me enough times that I don't think it's happening by chance.Like, I used to have a certain schedule and way of doing things,then a while back I started dealing with someone job related who has turned everything upside down on me. This wasn't happening nearly as much BEFORE I started dealing with her,so the closer I look at it, the more I'm thinking the devil "planted her" there. {Someone gave her my number, but the plan itself could have been from the devil.}I'm not saying she's doing it intentionally, following the devil, I believe she doesn't realize it, that she's being used by him.Also, how many times are you planning on doing something, before you were planning it, it was a smooth path, just moments before you get ready to do your thing,JUST THEN, some idiot somehow gets in your way and throws a monkey wrench in?And why does it seem certain ones have a knack for doing it more than others?Coincidence? Or doing a job for the devil?Well, the person doesn't know they're thwarting you at a bad time,but the devil does, so how does that sound? Also, sometimes say, you have something planned with a person, just before the planned thing, some misunderstanding occurs and a rift happens, which puts a cloud over the planned thing. But it happened at just the "right time",a few days before the event.Again, I don't think the person is intentionally following the devils instructions,but I think because the devil causes chaos, he's orchestrating it.And lastly, I think he even "plants people" in the church {or Christian sites}, you see, someone pops up who quotes the Word, but then backs worldly causes,or backs people who promote them.Think they just got there by accident?Or are they" planted" there, to create discord?So I say, when you're being hassled by someone,or someone is doing something to make you "slip" in your walk,I don't think it's happening by coincidence.Do I have a point?Does the devil use people to get to us? I say yes. You say?

God is allowing the devil to use the person in this way. It is a really deep spiritual reason that we do not often see until much later. It is part of the refining process. God uses unpleasant people to refine us like diamonds. We are supposed to exhibit Christlike self control in these situations and pray for the person. The person may see Christ in us and it provides a Witness for our faith.Pray about the person and ask the Lord how he wants you to handle it. Once you change, the situation will also change. You will graduate to your next spiritual level.


God definitely allows Satan to do things such as with Job. He usually does not allow him to harm us, but to teach us something or refine us.
