THE EVIL ONES NEVER GIVE UP

One mistake most Christians make in their dealing with evil influences - satan, demons and their human agents is that they relax after overcoming them in a spiritual battle using prayer to God in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

 However, satan and his agents never give up in trying to bring down Christians through sin, hardships, conflicts and sufferings because they know that it is ONLY the Christian that has the chance of entering heaven once he or she exits this world.

 The Christian is the one who has repented of sin, confessed and forsaken sin, surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and lives in strict obedience to Jesus Christ, Who ALONE is the guarantee of anyone having eternal life in heaven.

 The evil ones therefore try to bring down the Christian because they know they have lost all opportunities at entering heaven having rebelled against God their Creator Who has passed judgement on them.

 The mission of the evil ones is just one: since we lost heaven, no human being will ever enter there. So they use all manner of tricks both spiritual and physical to intimidate harass and subdue their victims to offend God, sin, fall out of grace, refuse to repent, die and then go to HELL forever.

 For a man of God, they use sexual immorality, quarrels at home, divorce, rebellious kids, need for money to pay bills to cause his downfall.

 For a woman, they use gossip, backbiting, money, hatred, fashion (miniskirts, mini-gowns, see-through clothes, slit skirts, slit blouses, camisoles, trousers, false hairs, false nails, lipsticks, cutex, earrings, bangles, chains, etc), unforgiveness, envy, resentment, etc to cause their downfall.

 For a teenager they use pornography, internet, fornication, immoral music and movies, social media, cyber-bullying, etc to cause their downfall.

 For younger kids, they use toys, video games of violence, violent cartoons, movies of sorcery like harry porter, chronicles of Narnia, wrestling, etc to distract them, make them get used to violence, become rebellious against their parents and every authority.

 Evil ones use witchcraft, secret cults, rituals, magic, love for money, adultery, fornication, sorcery, demonism, occult, necromancy, fashion, materialism, envy, hatred, calumny, extortion, armed robbery, theft, larceny, murder, racism, forgery, selfish ambition, greed, idolatry, hunger, rape, pornography to get unbelievers to remain in bondage so they can die and go to HELL.

 Dear friend, you can see the extent to which the evil ones go just to achieve their aim. They plan and execute their evil plan every single moment of every single day.

 This is why the Bible warns Christians in Ephesians 6:12-18, "12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

 13 Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

 14 Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,

 15 And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. [Isa. 52:7.]

 16 Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].

 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.

 18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people)."

 Dear friend, you can also see that the Christian who thinks he or she has finally overcome evil influences and therefore relaxes is only exposing himself or herself to grave danger.

 As the evil ones do not rest until they achieve someone or in particular a Christian's downfall, so also the Christian cannot rest until he or she exits this world and enters heaven or until our Lord Jesus Christ returns very very shortly to take away His children in Rapture.

 Now that you know this today, I therefore urge you to please remain firm in your Christianity as God's Word prescribes today and you shall surely have victory in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 If you are yet to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, then also know today that you are living dangerously because that is what satan and his agents want, which is to ensure all humans enter HELL where they have been sentenced forever.

 Do not allow yourself to become their victim because there is no mercy in eternity once a sinner dies and enters HELL.

 Today and now, dear friend, is the moment of decision, for tomorrow or later may be too late.

 May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus Most Powerful Name, Amen.

 Gabriel Ama.
