And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Revelation 21:23) Satan is incredibly vain. He thinks everything is about him: every post, every message, and every conversation. Those whose hearts and minds have been momentarily or temporarily inhabited by the spirit of Antichrist, as was the case with Peter in Matthew 16:22-24, would, in order to minimize contention and strife on Facebook and in the world at large, do well to focus internally upon what the Spirit of God is communicating rather than externally upon what others are or are not thinking, saying, and doing. May nothing and no one rob us of the peace that surpasses all knowledge and understanding (Philippians 4:7), not even for a moment, saints of God. Let us focus rather upon His love (Ephesians 3:19) as though our lives depend upon it. https://soundcloud/brian-l-hunter/fire-in-the-soul-dec-30-2012 After being filled on the day of Pentecost in the upper room (Acts 1:13, Acts 2:1-4), Peter was more consistently able to submit, focus, and concentrate successfully upon Christs exclusive purpose and his own destiny as a divine bondservant (Acts 2:14). A proper and all consuming vision of Christ and His light (John 8:12) requires a holy filtering out of all irrelevant and less glorious information, namely darkness, the absence of light. anointedwritenow Nothing compares to Gods glory! When one has intimately tasted and seen such divine glory here on earth, he or she will no longer be tossed and turned by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), by the baited traps and emotion-driven status updates of imperfect mortals (Proverbs 25:10, 2 Corinthians 6:8), or by the neverending bad report on the daily news (Psalm 112:7). Let us therefore be more fond of saying, Get thee behind me, Satan! Thou art an offense to me because mine eyes have seen the glory of the Lord and upon Him shall my full attention be fixated forevermore! Hallelujah!
