Life is a spiritual battle between
good and evil. Even for an individual. God (good) offers us love, peace, joy
and fulfillment. Satan (evil) gives us the spirit of fear. He wants for us to
be miserable and to blame God.
God gives us the freedom to make our
own choices. He wants for us to choose Him (goodness) over evil (Satan). Satan
gives us doubt. He uses our emotions to torture us and weaken us. God gives us
armor to overcome evil. God is for us. He gives us life and freedom. All we
have to do is call on Him, believe in Him, love Him and to be thankful. Satan
wants to kill, steal and destroy us and our lives.
God gives us gifts of the Holy
Spirit and gifts to do good. Satan wants to mislead us so that we will not use
our gifts to do good. Negatives and negative thinking are tools that Satan can
use against us. When we are ready to use our gifts to do good we have to get
rid of the negatives and the old mindset. We have to put on the mind of Christ,
trust in God and go for it. Resist the devil and he shall flee.
