Subject: Get behind me, who? |
Bible Note: So true, Makarios. Bad advice with good intentions. And that is just the point. They are acting on behalf of Satan without realizing it. And Satan uses many devices. They may even present themselves as rebuking us when we are convinced by scripture and all that we are doing the Lord's will. Please do not miss my point. I was once rebuked for picking up children for church. A brother informed me that I was being too proactive. I should let the Holy Spirit lead those children, and if he was doing that they would walk to the church. I accept that yours may be a better question, but the original one still remains in my mind. Perhaps we can attempt to answer both. How do you respond to someone when you think that Satan is using him? Do you say, "Get behind me, Satan!"? |
