Stop Giving Satan So Much Credit
Now the Bible says that Jesus was in the Temple, He opened the Bible and began to teach. Declaring that the Spirit of the Lord was upon, anointing Him to Preach the Gospel, bringing freedom to prisoners, opening the eyes of the blind and setting the oppressed free, He made known, it was the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:18
Isaiah 61:1-2
Although His own did not accept His message and to say the least, Jesus’ message aroused many to angry and wrath.
Certainly not allowing loud mouth rebellious and stiff necked people stop His mission to carry out His Passion to “Save those who were lost and oppressed”, Jesus soon thereafter visited Capernaum, in Galilee and amazed those who were in attendance at that synagogue, speaking with authority.
Continuing His Ministry, on one Sabbath Day, Jesus spoke in a particular synagogue and during His teaching, a man who had an unclean spirit began to speak-out and question the Lord of His intentions. Luke 4:33-34 “Was He there to torture the evil and demonic spirit that held the man captive?”
“Yes, some do gather among us during our time of worship in the Lord
with unclean spirits.”
All throughout the Gospels, we read that Jesus cast out demons, healed those who were bound and possessed by demonic spirits, setting them free!
For all this written above has been recorded in the Canon of Scripture and Biblical History. And knowing these truths as a follower of Jesus Christ, accepting Salvation, walking closely with the Lord and studying the Word of God,
'I'm a bit taken by the uncertainties,
in the Faith, of my fellow sisters and brothers.'
How is it that, demons can recognize Jesus, bow down and beg him not to torment them, but people, followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, get trapped, lose sight of who Jesus is and what He is capable of doing for us?
John 3:16-17
1 Corinthians 15:17.
How is it that, people walk around talking about how they don’t believe that there is a God and Hell is not real, when even demons DO!?
Demons recognize the fact that God is real and that He holds “All Power” in His Hand! Job 1:10
Psalm 34:7
Proverbs 21:1
What points of reference do non-believers truly have to stand on if they are actually intellectually reading the Bible – as they call it, and miss the scriptures that point out the truth that there is, in fact “Good and Evil” and evil recognizes God as being the dominate force? Creator of all things making lessor and greater to His Glorification and Purpose.
Genesis 3:22, 2:17
Isaiah 14:12-17
Deuteronomy 30:19
What part did they miss?
How is it that many followers of Jesus Christ can start at the very beginning of the Bible and see that the Serpent even acknowledges God as being wise – knowing good from evil, twist His Words and cause man to fall because of disobedience and pride and still suffer from the “Woe is me syndrome,” when in all reality and truth, they have the Mind of Christ, the Light of the Word living inside of them?
Genesis 3:1-4
1 John 2:16
How is it that, the Bible clearly states, Jesus went to Hell and took the keys from Satan, removing the sting of death, giving us Victory in Christ and some still run around believing that they are in bondage to the Law of sin and death?
Revelation 1:18
1 Corinthians 15:56
How is it that Satan, gets so much credit for the things that happen in our lives – Believers now, and, the very One whom we follow, Jesus Christ, has given us dominion over all things, even the ability to trample over the serpent underfoot?
Luke 10:19
Psalm 91:13
“Always properly cross reference scripture by its’s proper context
in the Word of God.”
Finally, how is it that Jesus says,” These things you see me do, you will do and even greater…John 14:12” but us, followers of Jesus Christ, want to point the finger at Satan, thinking that God will come to the rescue to handle what He has FACTUALLY given us the power to do?
Ephesians 6:10-18
I Just saying....!
I’ll be the first to admit to myself and everyone else, “I don’t have all the answers,” however, these factors have provoked my curiosity and I would like It if someone can help shed a light on this matter.
Thanks in advance for your response. Blessing to all and Always Stay Encouraged!
