One can blame everything on anybody, but the root of the matter is we are fighting a "Spiritual Battle"! We, and I am a big part of WE, get SO caught up in the here and now that we fail to remember WHO WINS in the end!
Ephesians 6:12 says "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
We have to remember that "OUR" battle is against evil! EVIL has the ability to wear many different positions or suits of clothes. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." says the Apostle Paul in Galatians 5:19-21. Anything that is placed ahead of our love of GOD is sin.
We all have to decide WHO we are representing. Either we follow The Lord, or we don't! Scripture says in Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
There is NO choice more clear, yet misunderstood. In John 12:39-40 Isaiah is quoted as saying "Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said, "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them."
LORD, cause me to remember that YOU defeated satan on Calvary and we need not fret over the "wiles of the devil"! Because we are YOURS we reign VICTORIOUSLY!!
