The Haka of Satan. How we can still win.

                                                       (This is the new zealand rugby team doing the haka)

While growing up my fist P.E./Music teacher was from Hawaii. We had a lot of fun learning different things form his culture. One thing that I really have always kept with me was how he taught us the Haka. The Haka is a ceremonial war dance. The purpose of it was to intimidate your opponent before you even start to fight. I thought this is how satan works,you could even say he has his own haka  

I have seen in my life how satan will attack us though the things that we hold most dear and close to our heart. His haka consists of doubts, trials, and worries. I have seen myself often times start to give up when these things come into play. By that time satan has already won before it has even began. We see this principle happen in the book of Mormon in Mosiah 23:26. AS the people of Alma were starting to build up there city and enjoy religious freedom something happened. They were out in their fields and they saw an army of the laminates, as it says : there were much frightened because of the appearance of the laminates.” They surrendered themselves and were placed in bondage.

But once satan does come into our lives with doubts and fear how do we get out of it? I have heard that it is easer to keep someone out then to kick someone out. As recognize we have doubts and fear we may being to lose hope. But if we do as the people of Alma did and “begin to cry (pray) mightily to God.” we then will be able to handle whatever trials we are going through. Then if we humble ourselves and “submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord. He will then help us get thought that hard time or win our war with satan.

No matter how fierce Satan's Haka (doubts, and fear) may seem we need not fall victim to it. Even if we do there is still hope to break free. I know the Lord is ever mindful of us and will not allow anything to happen to us that we can not handle. But as we continue to remember the lord and turn to him in prayer and learn the lessons he is trying to teach us, all things are possible. One Scripture some to mind that is found in the doctrine and covenants. Fear not and know I am God. As we trust in him we will find that faith to fight and become free from the efforts of satan.
