The Truth About “satan”
Note:
This is for Sean Renaud (and any friends) who simply aren’t sure if satan exists or not. This blog is in response to my self proclaimed atheist friend, Sean. I am posting it here, so that I am meeting the copyright requirements of soulcast: In this world system, I own this copyright under the name of Truthsayer, August 6th, 2007, (and God owns me, in the Name of His Son, Jesus my Redeemer).
To fully understand this discussion, I suggest that you go to Sean’s blog about Jesus Christ, which sparked this discussion. Here is the link to that post: http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/75598/Jesus-Christ
Now, finally, here is “The Truth About ‘satan’”
Of course satan exists Sean. Do you have any idea of the personal cost to me, for witnessing to you, or anyone, as I do? I do it out of love. A deep abiding love for the lost, on behalf of the Creator, on behalf of the One that was Sent to save those that God has, or will allow to believe a powerful delusion. When I am able, through my testimony and through the power of the Blood of the Lamb, to snatch one from satan, especially one that he believes he has 'all neatly boxed and wrapped up with a firey bow on top' (my description); he gets really, really angry.
Would you like me to list the attacks I have come under since signing up on soulcast, and being a witness for Jesus Christ? For Our Father God? For the Holy Spirit, who thank God, bears witness with me? Do you think this is easy? Like a hobby for me or something?
We ARE in the end times. You are intrigued by the mystical? I suppose you mean guys that can lay on a bed of nails and not bleed? As a test of 'personal' strength? I wish you were intrigued by the True Mystical. Are you?
Would you like to fly? Would you welcome visions? Visitations? Or could you handle it? It would be like nothing you have ever experienced. The cost is great for such experiences. You will be refined in the fire. You will be tested. Are you man enough for that? Ironically, by worldly standards; it isn't your machisimo that God is interested in. Your personal strength, that both you and shiny have spoken of are nothing, absolutely nothing, compared to the Power that designed/created and fired up this universe. Nothing.
And that is what scares you. It scares all men. Women have an inner connection to creation and cycles and what it means to carry a life inside of them, that WILL be born...that they have no control over how it happens, when it happens or how well it goes...but it WILL happen. If they fight it, they will increase their pain unecessarily. They can even die...and in the old days, they often did. They died most often of shock.
So we come back, full circle, to the fear of God being the beginning of all wisdom. Biblical fear is awe...the feeling you get, if you have ever had it, when you realize Who He Really Is...and that He IS All Powerful and All Knowing. All your delusions are shattered, thank God, and you know, that you know that you know...but, you also realize that this GREAT BIG HUGE TOTAL POWER HOUSE OF THE UNIVERSE, has not only had MERCY on YOU, little old you...but that He LOVES YOU WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT....POWER...AND THAT'S THE TRUTH.
All else is foolishness. Little "g's". By the way, anyone that puts their 'own truth' as shiny puts it, before all else, is an idolator. That's what The Good Book says. The Only Good Book. The book that has been most printed, most distributed and most read: The Holy Bible.
So yeah guys. We are in the end times. I never know how long I will be here. In this geographical location, on soulcast, or on the planet. Sound dramatic? It is. This is the universe in all of 'his' glory Sean. We have created...no, let's call a spade a spade: We humans have systematic destroyed and degraded what was once a perfect system, and lo and behold; Who do we blame for it? God. God didn't bring all these disasters upon us, we did. Humans have been following after satan and his plan for a very long time now...under the guise of "personal power, personal strength", etc.
Oh yeah Sean, he exists, you and shiny and a host of others...and myself, and others on this end of the spectrum; are perfect examples of his handiwork. But he hates you. He hates me. He hates everyone. He hates God most of all...and he let's him know it every second of every day.
Those silky smooth enticing words about "your" personal power...in the intellectual world (idolatry too), in the crazy world (scientology, unitarian, bahai, etc.), and in the occult/new age ("you" are god, spirit guides, witchcraft and all rebellion is the same spirit...the same spirit you aren't convinced exists)...yep, those silky smooth enticing words are the exact same words he tempted Eve with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It seems to work so well. Until The Truth comes around telling you about God's Mercy...and awakening you to His Perfect Love, His Perfect Plan...then things can get a little dicey. Just a little stone like me can make infinite ripples in the universal pond.
WAKE UP
You wanna know what he looks like? In which form would you like your description to be? His supernatural form? Or the one he walks the streets in? Do you think I could ever be the kind of person that sits on the sidelines and takes it easy? I can't. I am not made that way. But man, oh man, was life easier before it all became clear to me. I am such a threat to his perceived domain, that I have become a target for satan. I know when I am a threat and when I am not. I also know what he has sent to deter me...and, as you might have noticed, I have almost given in to that...several times in the past few months.
This present world isn't what you think it is Sean. But don't just take my word for it; go ask your Dad. But this time, really listen. You are fighting the wrong fight man.
In Perfect Love
In MERCY AND TRUTH
Your friend,
truthsayer
