2 Timothy 3:12-13 "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."
We are in a time where the deception is growing, where the evil is growing in our world. We need to be a people that stands strong against the devils lies. The devil wants to give us a false sense of security, that false sense of security focuses on ourselves, that we can do it that we do not need God, that we are better than others, he will feed us lies about ourselves in order to control our very thoughts. The devil will also feed us with negativity, we are not worth it, we don't look right, we weigh to much, that salvation is meant for people that deserve it. See the devil will take anything that we give him, because he is a thief, he will steal our very joy, because he wants us to focus on ourselves, on our lacks or our good thing, instead of focusing on God.
God is a God who wants us to see not ourselves, but to view others ahead of ourselves. Do you see how the devil is winning? Who is the most important person to you?
I believe the battle is growing, that the forces of darkness our lulling us into a sense of comfort a sense of complacency, we no longer view sin as sin, we no longer realize just what Jesus went through to save us from our sins, it is easy to forget what He did for us. The devil wants us to think only of ourselves. We are controlled from the moment we get up, to the moment we go to bed, thinking only of me, but Jesus came to change our human desires and replace them with His desires, He desires that all men and women stop thinking of themselves and start thinking about what would He do.
The devil wants us to be blind, to not see how he is working, to stop looking and think that is the way it always has been, but I am here to say it isn't. Time to start calling the devil out. It is time to stand for God. Is He the center of your life?
