WHY IS THE DEVIL SO POWERFUL?
A CANDID TALK ABOUT TRAILS AND TRIBULATIONS
As we
read in scripture "Satin is the prince and power of the air. The spirit
that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" He is REAL. If Christ is real and he is the devil is real. Below I've tried to let you know a little bit about the devils power over human beings. There is such a thing as blessings and cursing from/by God from generation to generation so stop sinning and start following the Christ of the bible. Hell is no picnic and it is REAL.
Why
is the devil so powerful? That is what a female friend said to me when I
was going through a trial and tribulation years ago. The answer is found in the Bible or by Jesus Christ. When someone is a true believer
and they really see they know we wrestle with more than the eye can see.
The devil Lucifer used to be a cherub Angel and he has a following of
what they think could be in the millions of others Angels that followed
him. They were kicked out of heaven. Satin also has demons that the bible talks about and there is a vast army that the devil has under his wing unseen that effect mankind. The deepest truth is routed in sin, lies,
pride, deception, darkness, hatred, demonic's, etc. The God of this world being the prince Satin is
worshiped by the fallen world and by sorceresses and deception including
wicked evil people since the beginning of mankind even after the world
wide flood and money/power is a fuel that makes world powers stronger
and they are wrapped around the devil's stronghold. Within them is
everyone and everything that it tangles into its deceptive net that puts
an obstacle between the human being and the real living God. Christ
said few be there that find that narrow door way in their lifetimes. I
could imagine in the first century when they did not live as modern day
people do how still a place like Sodom & Gomorrah could become
entangled into the wicked sins of the flesh. Still today this is going
on but it is wide spread around the world as we know it. General people
have their daily routines and they too are programmed by cultist organizations and it reaches even into the arts, culture, education, governments and every walk of life. See, the sinful ways of the world run deep. It is so attractive as vanity replaces
God! It is so of the world that if you are not like the world the world
thinks something is wrong with you.
Where did simplicity go? Simplistic in the way that here is God and here is the way. But people have many Gods and many sins. People are very deceived. In the old fashion way when respect was seen and felt seems rare these days. It seems as thought people are running to hell as fast as possible. When the bible says that man loves darkness this is the truth. The truth is man lives on borrowed time. Yes we live under grace but that does not mean the end will not come. What man esteems highly the true God calls an abomination. Look to the extend that man rejects the light they crucified Christ, & Peter and even Apostle Paul. Not to mention all the martyrs of Jesus Christ. And they think they erase & replace but their narrow view of POWER is POWERLESS next to the real God whom Judges the world. People have been saved and come to know the true God of Israel and the bible. But still the vast majority of the world loves darkness. There is no real life in darkness. Its just a illusion and a waste of time. Christ said he is the life and the resurrection. He is the way and the truth. Amen. If we were to really get into all the nuts and bolts of the matter we can make unlimited lists of the evil around the world let alone natural disasters. Not to be negative either. In truth so many people will appear at the judgment seat of Christ and perish because they thought their way was the way or they could not care less.
I've gone through various
trials and tribulation over the years and God brought me to the biblical truth. It was his hand that showed me that Christ is the light of the
world and the world's ways is TRULY very evil. We do live in a fallen World. Christ said it well
in the parable about the person who sold all he had to go buy a field. That person was willing to DO what it takes! Walk the REAL walk! Be a real disciple! In other words you
must give up your ways and follow Christ's narrow ways if you wish/want
to be a disciple of the lord and find that narrow door to heaven. You have to deny yourselves. Eternal life is a
free gift by God but you MUST accept his ways and Christ. After all he said you must be
born again to enter that Kingdom. There are people close to God and only
God knows whom they truly are or have been over the centuries. The
bible does shed light on this as we know. We go through different stages
and it could be very sad as there are crippled people and all sorts of
sick children/people and poor hungry people. Look at the wars alone and the evils we read about
in the news papers/in the media/Twitter these days or see on the news
channels or even hear by broadcast networks. There will come an end.
We live on this biblical word "grace" which is given by God but
there will come an end. Christ spoke about the end of the world as we
know it. We are told in the book of revelation about the end when the plaques are unleashed unto mankind and God had enough. When the earth stumbles like a drunk and the moon and sun do not give their light no more. The question is do YOU really
love God or is it deception and "vanity" that you truly love! WHOM is your
GOD? The life of a true believer is not easy but the life of those whom
have been deceived may appear easy as they are deceived. They don't really spread the word of God and go make disciples. Easy in the
sense that they are not true believers and don't pick up their cross and
follow the real Christ. Even they have trials and tribulations. There are trials and tribulations as our choices
can be wrong and drastic at times. Some are natural as we live in a fallen world. People speak about love but few people know what that
really is. Christ's love is eternal and not carnal or superficial. To
love in the way he did is to really love. Many people don't love this
way. Many people don't know how! The heart is abundantly wicked and who can know it? God does. He is all knowing and his word stands forever!
Lately, there is some preaching on trials and tribulations I come across and a couple of interesting ones.. Greater is he that is within You then in the world. After all he created everything. God is sovereign and holy. Man is wicked and evil. He needs a savor and he is risen and real. He is he Christ Jesus of the bible.

I am sure it is actually even more extensive than this but this is a good teaching about trials.
I've come across another teaching on trials by Pasture Charles Lawson as well. His teaching is entitled "The Trials of our faith." The mp3 is HERE The sermon video is HERE
So many people fall away and get ensnared. People are entangled in all sorts of deceptions, and lies. Many lives are wasted and fall victim to crime and darkness. Many people become slaves to their own fallen natures. Just look at cell phones. So many people walk around talking on their phones and they are plugged into everything under the sun but God's word. Look at all the fraud of identity theft and virus's on computers and malware. Look at all the TV shows that glorify vanity and Idols & even EVIL. Man is FALLEN! There is a God and he is all knowing. There is no life in deception and there is real life in the lord Jesus Christ of the bible. You must walk in the light that men reject and there is a cross to bear. Not many are willing to bear that cross.
God is more powerful than the devil and Christ proved that. Even Apostle Paul was humbled! God HUMBLED me as well. We are deceived throughout our lives and find pleasure in things and not Christ's narrow way. Some people waste their lives until they get to the point that the damage is severe. People see through a narrow lens if they see at all. There is destruction in making the wrong choice but true life is found in Christ. We hand power over to the devil when we obey the carnal flesh, & vanity but disobey God's commandments. We hand over POWER to the devil when we listen to HIM and not God. When we love the world we hate God. Ponder that one! God does not want other God's before him and make no images of anything that he commanded. Does the world listen? NO! most people. NO! King sol-omen was wise and had great wisdom. People have many idols and Gods before the real God. They are WICKED! Beware as hell is REAL.
Unsaved you will stand the judgment. When you die in this life you will end up in hell or heaven. God is the judge in the end. But we have a cross to bear. Get Saved! Call on Christ to be your lord and savor! Repent or you will perish. This is the living truth.
I know weakness does not feel good but the humbled heart and a contrite spirit in a man or woman Gods highly esteems. Do you REALLY love your family or children when you cannot accept the biblical truth? I wonder??

2 Corinthians 12:9-11 King James Version (KJV)
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
MAN IS DECEIVED/THE WORLD IS DECEIVED
THERE IS ONLY ONE DOOR - JESUS CHRIST
PEOPLE WORSHIP THE DEVIL AND WHEN YOU DISOBEY GOD YOU GIVE HIM STRENGTH/POWER OVER YOU!
People worship the devil whom are involved in
idol worship and paganism.
Christ said as written below. So many people throw the first stone today while they are not without sin. I know as Christians and pastures we are to judge according to scripture. This is meant for those sinners that refuse to repent and keep gossiping and throwing the first stone.
Matthew 7:2 King James Version
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Quoting part of an article
"The Bible shows us
that if we “resist the devil he will flee from” us (James 4:7). The only power that Satan has over the Christian is the
power we give him and the power granted to him by God (2 Cor. 12:7-12). Scripture tells us that Satan is defeated, disarmed, and
spoiled (Col. 2:15; Rev. 12:7; Mark 3:27). He has “fallen” (Luke 10:18) and was “thrown down” (Rev. 12:9). He was “crushed” under the feet of the early Christians,
and by implication, under the feet of all Christians throughout the ages (Rom. 16:20)." The rest of the article is HERE.
Interesting Read
Has Satan been given dominion over the earth until Jesus
returns?
Look God loves you dearly as he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross so you could be forgiven your sins as he is the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. Please watch the testimonies about him. Many do not know him.
