Toolite ! I do agree with all that You are saying and perhaps even allowing Satan the Privlage That I would be afraid of what He could Do to My body I am aware and do Fear My awesome God who can Both destroy Flesh and soul for eternity . I do realize that my faith seems to show tatters when I give Satan a wide birth at least intentionally I do anyway. I do understand that as a Christian I will have to suffer for My faith some day and I know who causes the suffering I guess there is no sense in being afraid When God is able fully able to save us from Satans firey assaults and Just because I run from Him I guess it dosn't mean He will quit chasing Me He will never give Up regardless of what I do to ignore Him. My job , and it's a Job that I love is to LOve God with all My heart and My next Job is to Love My neighbor as Myself...and that includes You My Sister in Christ . Satan's Job is too hate God and to lie to me and trip Me up.....God Bless You Toolite You are avery present inspiration to Me on this Christian Form ....Dave
God is so Good! He loves us so much! He wants to have victory in every situation because we are made of victory but, we have to understand who we are in him and who he is. We have to remind ourselves and each other at times. The walk is not easy but, I rather praise an eternity than to burn an eternity - 80 years is nothing. We will become stronger in the Lord together! Giving Him All The Glory Together!
You asked why should we even acknowledge the existence of the Evil One.
My favorite book on this entire subject is the book of Jude. A little book but very powerful in its entirety.
Does God acknowledge Satan?
Do the angels acknowledge the existence of Satan?
It is one thing to acknowledge the existence and the impact Satan has on our world.
It is another to give in to temptation and be a part of the plot.
Fear is another topic.
If fear comes from the devil, then why would God tell us to Fear the Lord your God?
(yes I know what you mean. just making a point to those that may not.)
Fear and to be afraid are different.
Think about all the things in the world that we see on a daily basis that if you were to look closely at you would say that is the work of Satan.
doubt, indecision, lukewarm; just as much as being deliberaltely rebellious. To God sin is sin and to Satan as long as he has pulled you away from God in any form, He has succeeded.
Think in Matthew how Christ said many will come knocking at my door and I will tell you that I do not know you.
Fear the Lord your God.
Love him with all your heart mind and soul.
love your neighbor as yourself.
It is a spiritually bloody war my dear Christian brother and sisters.
To lose a friend or family memeber or a stranger to the evil one, means we lost that battle.
Be deliberate in your actions of loving kindness.
Remember that their are angels among us.

May God make ready your sword and shield, put on the armour of our God. Amen.

Because I can see spiritually and hear spiritually . Thank you Lord. I try to help others to skip through a point that I had to learn but, that doesn't even work because I see that everyone must have their own experience. So Again I Say Thank You Lord.
I believe the Lord is saying instead of fearing the one that has no power fear God - Himself because he holds all power and authority.
We are fearful people because we are trained and born into the world. When we begin to align ourself with God and His Will then at that time we began to get trained spiritually.
You can acknowledge the devil that's completely your choice. You can say that the enemy has power and can do all things to you that is your choice. But, I say My Father Has Dominion over All and Always Have. My Father has giving me power and authority and when the enemy speaks to me - if I were to agree and start believing what he said then I transfer power given to me by God to the enemy and give him authority over me. No one has to view things how I see them God gave all of us free will. That's in what we think and what we do.. I say things in Love and wanting everyone to Know That Their Father Will Step In. I have trials and tribulations but, I thank God that I can pass most of them. Because I know to ask my Father For Help when its hard. I can not say that I don't care if someone doesn't grow I would be telling a lie. I do. Stay Blessed!
we used to sing this in africa its cool and means get behind me deceiver try somewhere else to spread your weakness and disease
That's awesome! I Learned 2 new words in another language. The enemy is crafty and he is always on his job which he never rest. If we too can learn to always be on our job for our Father we will learn to live a great life here on earth. Stay Blesed!

With Tears I cry! Glory to God! I told God That I desire for all of us to be fed meat not milk. That we grow greatly spiritually. Even when it's times we don't completely understand but, as long as we listen because sometimes people say things I haven't experienced but, I ask questions and at the same time I ask God to show me and give me the experience if it is in His Will to do so. I speak to you by experience and so I can stand on what I have learned but, most importantly God is Great and the God that is in us is Great! But, if we don't know all what in us how can we use it. We have to learn the spiritually ways of doing things and that will make us stronger. I pray that all reach a spiritually level so that on judgement day God is pleased with all of us. And can show us how we grown and we hit the mark that he has set for us. Nothing but, Love & Compassion. Let US Grow Together and Give All The Glory To God Together. Most importantly you are stronger spiritually then you will ever know.
