What if I were to tell you toady that most people fail to realize how much there lives are affected everyday by Satan, when we allow him. That’s right when we allow him. No matter what your roll in life is, Satan will be there to tempt you. But then, how much do we allow him into our lives? What about our daily thoughts, the images planted in our heads during specific situations, distractions during Church, or distractions keeping us from Church, temptation placed in our lives through emails, TV shows. This is Satan’s job, his mission. He knows time is close, and he will do everything he can do to pull us away from God, or distract us from our daily duties to glorify God in our daily actions. But why would God allow this to happen? First off we are warned by scripture. “Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11), also warned that just hearing scripture here and there, not reading, studying, and understand the Word of God can be an opening for Satan to step in. “When anyone hears the Word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown besides the road”. (Matthew 13:19). But no matter what we might face God id always there with a solution, an open door leading us away from those temptations. “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3). Every situation you might face, both positive and negative are for a reason, either to draw you closer to God, or draw you away. The most important question you need to ask your self today is do you have and are you close enough to God, and understand through your daily live how you are to live, to keep Satan away. And understand that God’s will for Jesus to die. He knew His mission on earth, and knew that He would be a final sacrifice for each of us. Each drop of blood that was shed was for each of us, our past our present, and our future. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:17). Without the blood there is no repentance, without repentance there is no forgiveness, without forgiveness there is no salvation. Without the blood shed by Jesus on Calvary, we have no hope for eternal salvation. It all comes down to this. Salvation is having faith in the blood of Christ, and our true faith is shown by our actions in our lives, when out light on the world reflects Jesus. Others will see Jesus in you when you share your light on this lost world. Those who are unwilling to accept and acknowledge the blood of Jesus Christ are rejecting Christ our Savior. Only you, and God know your relationship with God, let your life, your actions, and the never ending light that shines from within let the world also know. Dear Heavenly Father we come to you in the blessed name of Jesus or Savior, that your children in the word can admit when they are not right with you, and want to be right with you. I pray that they can come to you, confess to you that Jesus is there Lord and Savior, and died and that God raised Him from the dead, and that there hearts will be open and believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior of there lives. In Jesus name we pray. Amen! Pastor Rick ✞
