Satan knows this, and thus attempts to use our ability to create against us by influencing us to create things that destroy life or the beauty of it thereof… It is a matter of obeying God’s will that will blossom like perennials blooming as they obey nature… for the flower, the sun, the rain, and the earth are all reflections of nature itself and thus reflections of God… Obedience leads to blessings, but to obey simply for the purpose to receive blessings is blasphemous. Therefore, to live with a sense of purpose and move along a path set by God is obedient and the goal is assist the greater conscience and spirits of men and women, only to seek greater tasks and not rewards themselves.
My place is to distract and discourage you from reaching your full potential. While your focus on pursuing one hollow accomplishment, I pursue to separate you from God and take your skills, thoughts, actions, and energies then turn them to my favor. You want wealth? Fine. You want fame? Fine. You want all the most lascivious, ludicrous forms of sex in the world with no holds barred… Of course — as long as you give your adherence to me… God provides you with all the strength you need in this life… I provide obstacles to set you against yourself — and continuously see reason to battle with others and within yourself. But as you grow closer to God, you are further from me… and life — the truth of life — is clearer. Everything is clearer in the light of God than in the darkness. But, I use the darkness to cloud your vision just as I am impotent to create life, but like entropy or even a cancer, I can cause decay or malignance to distort what was good over time. When you are with Him through the Christ and those who are Christ-like, you are no longer under the tattered and fallible laws of men, you are under the grace of God. The law plays into serving what is of man many times and not of God. I expose the iniquity of men, yet Christ exposed the element of immortality in man through compassion and grace… which
I have never understood and completely see folly — yet in the end I suppose — the compassion of God is what led to all things in motion now — good and evil based on choice alone.
Laws alone do not embody the extent of living spirit within you. They are base and slanted to benefit earthly realms not heavenly ones… And many times, they fail to protect the meek, they do not care for the poor, they do not embrace the sick, and they cast the orphan aside. Where grace is served, grace is given. Grace supersedes law. Grace is eternal and infinite; laws can be changed, argued, and twisted… Follow them as you must to give unto Caesar’s what is Caesar’s, but to be accepted into His realm — well, never deny Him what He has given you… God is never absent. He is light and He is dark; yet, in the darkness, He placed me to entice and punish you, so where there is darkness in the hearts of men and women I seek to rule. In the heart of those filled with darkness, whether knowingly or unknowingly, they invite me to know everything about them… yet they may know little and seek not to know much of me. However, in that they allow even more of my presence into their lives until they are surrounded… Simply denying evil exist is a means to allow yourself to succumb to it. Ignoring me, doesn’t run me away. But, to recognize me and call me out under God — well, forces me to leave… Evil alone is not my source, but the craving or drawing of power is… so look to those external of you or your drives within and if you see a craving for power or control… I am there… Simply being an element of sin for those who work against God — being some mascot of your folly is far beneath me and insulting. I am more so the harbinger of lusting for power with and insatiable appetite to be Godlike but not to serve Him… and for simply wanting to serve myself — that is evil…
The war I battle within is no longer truly for the throne of Heaven but the throne within each every living spirit. The rule of this throne adds to my power against Him. Many feel I simply deprive them of material wealth; yet, that’s quite the opposite… I am a master in this this material world through manipulation and can award you with so much with a payment of your spirit in return… Just note the political and popular figures that draw so many questions… Well, I am the answer as to why… I seek to stifle the life you share between your spirit and His grace… Choosing life makes me the great opposer… Choosing death makes me the great deceiver… Either way, I can take my defeat and make it a victory… All I will do is continue to battle against Him through you and take pride every time you fall… There are no second chances for me or my kind as I stated before… we were of Heaven but relinquished it when we stood against Him. Due to your mortal selves being born into sin that was not of your doing, you are given chance, after chance, after chance. But, you choose me when you focus on the negative aspects of life and attribute them to me or my manifestations. I do not require some form prostration, tithing, or ritual… but, I benefit for what you do not do for Him by default. When you do not choose to live alongside God, it pleases me. All the rituals you do in His name mean nothing if they are not truly a part of you…. And you truly do not believe…
I am not unfair in my gains; I am effective. I feel you are unworthy of the blessings you are promised, and I shall use you against yourself to disrupt receiving such glory from Him. Even He can not deny, based on His own rules, that when you work against yourself in sin — you work against Him blessing you… You may feel I am defeated by you — not at all… He defeated me, but the war with mankind will be won by me if mankind refuses to know and live under God. The fact is when you do not live under God — you think you are above Him — and place this world before the one you came from and will return to… and thus when you die you will remain on the closest realm that is similar to the perverse and wicked nature of Earth in humankind’s mind — hell… By ignoring the path set before you, based on my distractions, I lead many through unfulfilled lives, emptiness, and heartbreak, slowly pulling them in my direction. What drives one to success drives others to death — to suicide. I find weaknesses in your person and exploit them as drives within you when it comes to material and/or frivolous things in the world of man…
By the Christ birth, death, and obvious resurrection, the time of man was in dire straits, and I was almost at the point of turning most of the known world among the Roman Empire completely from God… that’s why He came… To reflect the state of humanity… To reveal both beauty and the ugliness that is truly you — versus the original work God made you… You are no purer than me… and in many ways you are worse because you are weaker and need God, but act as if you do not or you will deal with Him on your terms like insolent children… Impatient and foolish, simply casting eternal inheritance and forgiveness aside — and what does He do? He forgives you when you call on Him? I find that foolish if that is what love is… compassion — more like compulsive stupidity to care of such infantile, idiotic creatures… and yet there are always those among you that are examples of God’s original plan, and so He spares all of you… But He places limits on sparing you, just as He places limits on life and time… In believing that it is never too late to call upon Him is a foolish effort to justify procrastination and putting off the time to be aligned with Him. Problem is God is time, and God can choose when to run out and leave you behind — or shaken from the memory of time into oblivion… But procrastination with God is like building debt… It is passed on to the next generation, and only the wise know how to instruct and invigorate their children to keep close to God no matter their religion, and slowly reduce the debt to pay the full balance… completely honoring Him…
