Bible Note: "Your the only Christian that I know that has ever said Satan did not step up his activity in your life once you became a Christian. I know in my life while I was lost in sin most if not all of the sin was satisfaction of the flesh once I became a Christian I had to deal with people lying about me, tragedy and anything else Satan could throw at me." Colossians 1:13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Who here cannot look at the lives of lost friends or relatives and see the destruction of Satan in their lives. They are just blind to it. That same destruction was there when we were in the world. I have heard and even said that Satan did not bother me when I was in the world because I was not a threat to him. But now I look back and realize that he was just as determined to destroy me before I came to Jesus. Before I came to know Jesus, Satan was extremely active in my life and that of my family...divorce, alcoholism, divisions and quarreling, suicide. But since I was traveling downstream with them, I did not realize who the liar was behind all this. But God opened my eyes and translated me out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of His Son. Then the Word began to change me and although he is still around, he certainly does not have the ability he used to have to lie to me. The Truth of the Word opposes him! I am in no way free from his attempts to discourage and trip me up and once in awhile I do trip. The difference is that then I was down and stayed down because I did not realize there was an up. Now of I find myself down, I believe the Word and the Holy Spirit lift me up. "As for ruining our testimony I agree but most sin is secret sin that never is found out. Sin of unforgiveness, hatefullness, pornography, lust and such." Yes and also by stealing our joy and peace through fear and unbelief. Not only through sins we commit, but also through sins of omission. "Whether we can lose of salvation or not is really not that important what is important is living our life to please God. Jesus said if you live Me you will keep my commandments, that pretty much eliminates all sin." I agree! This has been my position on the matter. I am not trying to see how much sin I can get away with but how much closer I can get to the Lord and how much more like Him I can become!" God bless |
