through a spiritual rebirth, and will not bow to the beast of this world,
regardless of what is offered. With wisdom there is no place for Satan to
hide, and we can defeat evil because its terms are no longer of consequence.
In submission, we know the Father, we obey the Master, and conform to
the lessons taught by the Teacher; thus, we comply with His Divine will. It
matters little what Satan wants now, except that of humanity has and will
bow to the beast, which is Satan in many different evil forms. Whatever his
demands, threats, or promises, they’re only a lie. Therefore don’t give Satan
or his cohorts any attention, or succumb to fear, because evil wants you to
fear, and remain deceived.
Satan has counterfeited God’s Plan For Man, causing humanity to stumble
and fall, so we’ll self incriminate. Satan’s evil effect is strong within the
world today, because humanity remains deceived, yet thinks differently. On
the other hand, Jesus wants us to rise above all our failures and not
remember them. From the very beginning Deception has been a tool to
instill fear when we fall short or sin. Failure, however, becomes success: in
our weakness we are made strong, for forgiveness is greater than vengeance.
The beastly life is no longer possible when we are endowed with the Spirit
of God; the truth prevents the faithful from submitting to the lie, revealing
the love of Jesus and the hatred of Satan.

God is practical to every day life. The Apostle Paul’s words again ring true,
for he spoke the spiritual truth as it was revealed to him; in so doing, we’re

asking

. And we pray this in order that you
may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing
fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being
strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may

darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we
have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by
him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and
