| Analogy of Destruction |
|
"And the Lord said unto Satan, from whence comest thou? And Satan Answered the Lord, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it" [Job 2:2].
Attack on the Family Institution:
There is a killer, a contract and a title deed to our planet earth. This killer "the number one killer of family institutions" sneaks up on mankind one family at a time and without mercy, destroys the very existence of these human lives. This killer with his contract destroys families and human lives in many different ways. This killer will attack and destroy anyone who is vulnerable to his "seed of destruction."
The manifestations of these destructions are without respect to person's small or great. This killer's prime target is the family institution. This killer, with his cunningness, successfully destroys families everyday. Everyday, a family somewhere has fallen prey to and is being destroyed by this vicious killer. His attacks are not swift but these attacks do cause grave results in tearing up the family institution.
This killer will sabotage the family institution even before a man and women are united in "Holy Matrimony" and within the bonds of marriage. A marriage is supposed to be a "Holy Union" of two people but many times this is not true. This Killers primary target is the head of the family or the soon to be head of a family institution. Why? Because the family institution belongs to God.
Seed of Destruction:
This killer will cause one to become an alcoholic, another a drug addict, a wife beater and a cheater and sometimes another to be just plain selfish, greedy and mean. This killer is very successful in causing dysfunctions and character defects within the family he is hoping to destroy. Dysfunctional families are born everyday. This killer begins rejoicing because he now knows his "seed of destruction" has been firmly planted within this family and that total destruction of this family is imminent. This family institution is now primed for just such a result, total destruction.
Every seed needs water in order to grow, so to does this killer's "seed of destruction." This killer knows that the water he needs so desperately can only be found in a tainted family member. This killer throws up a "white flag," figuratively speaking, and calls a truce from his onslaught of destruction.
After throwing up the white flag, this killer through the Adam nature in the tainted family member begins to negotiate terms and conditions of the so-called peace treaty. He or she tries to console his or her spouse, but the pain needs time to heal something this killer won't allow. The tainted family member keeps on searching within himself to find a way to change the direction this family is heading, destruction. When this tainted family member tries to change for the better the Adam nature takes over once again and the pain and shame continues to mount. The killer of family institutions takes over where the Adam nature leaves off. This killer's only goal is to acquire the water necessary to continually grow his seed of destruction. He really wants to destroy this family at all cost. This killer continuously waves the white flag to and fro, the peace talks continue, he tells the tainted family member more lies and that he will give him or her pleasures beyond his or her wildest imaginations, pleasures he or she has never experienced before. This killer will give this person anything he or she wants as long as he or her continues to give the evil one the water necessary to grow his seed of destruction within this family institution. The killer's goal is to completely destroy this family. This killer's temptations become overwhelming so overwhelming that the tainted family member gives in, and now, willingly gives the killer the water he desires to destroy this family and begins his or her quick trip down damnation alley. Once this person starts to really live out the pleasures offered to him or her, the family begins to go straight to hell. But, as long as this killer gets more and more water he stops his onslaught and lets the "Adam Nature" take over. This tainted family member is now trapped into believing that what he or she is doing is good and right.
The killer successfully entered into this family institution as if he were an "angel of light." He speaks as if he were God saying I am God and whatever you do is just fine with me. He will say whatever he can to keep you on damnation alley, a wide road of destruction, leading to total family destruction. It becomes a Hellacious Journey down a road to Hell and death. The killer continues to make offers that this person just can.t turn down, tempting offers, which this person continually accepts from the destroyer of families.
Spiritual Blindness:
This tainted family member is "spiritually blinded" from the Truth by the killer and seems to be enjoying the pleasures offered by this number one killer of the family institutions. This family member hasn't been turned over to a "reprobate mind" [Rom 1:28-32], at least not yet. This tainted family member seems to be enjoying the pleasures, money, fame and even popularity that his or her Adam nature had "searched" out. There seems to be no end to the wealth of pleasures offered to this person. Greed sets in and then, this tainted family member wants more and more, there seems to be no end to what this person wants or will do.
This killer, who knows the Adam nature only to well, now has total control of this family. The killer has successfully lied to this tainted family member and his dysfunctional family into believing that these pleasures are and were from God. This killer has a way of doing that.
The end of this family institution is imminent unless someone intervenes and rescues this family and places it back on firm ground. Going to hell is just around the corner. This is where we can do a lot of good for a family such as this.
Lets hope that a true child of God intervenes into this family's life and steer it back on to the right path, a path back to the Kingdom of God, back to a state of grace. Amen!
Sudden Awakening:
The emotional pain that this family has endured is astronomical. This family needs a lot of love in order for them to return back to a state of grace. All to often, when a family reaches this level of destruction it.s almost too late to save the whole family but someone needs to try. There is no place to dark that the light of God can't reach. Most often the woman along with her children search for solace, peace, love and a state of better mental health.
This is the scenario I like. Suddenly, the family member takes a good look at what he or she has become and how he or she got there. This person now begins to realize who has been feeding him or her this "fruit of destruction" and who has been nurturing him or her right into total destruction. This person realizes that he or she has been watering the seed of destruction. If intervention doesn't come soon this person will lose his or her family.
This person's inward self now sees something quite contrary to what he or she thought was good and right. This situation was not what this person really expected, self-awareness suddenly sees the truth, and God has just knocked loudly on this person's heart. He or she asks, what have I done and who is this entity that blinded me and casually led me down the road to damnation alley, the wide road of destruction, sin hell and death.
Revelation:
I will now reveal to you all the components that are involved in this "Analogy of Destruction." The first component is the "Adam nature" which we inherited at our birth into this world of sin. The Adam nature is that which allied ourselves with Satan.
The second component is "Satan" the number one killer of family institutions, the accuser of the brethren, the adversary, the prince of the power of the air, the prince of darkness, the ruler of this world, the one who goes to and fro seeking whom he may destroy and the number one enemy of our God. Of course, you probably realized who this killer was as soon as you started reading this message.
The third component is the "seed of destruction" which is "sin." No one has ever said sin wasn't pleasurable at the time it was done but, the end there of is destruction, death and hellfire. These family members enjoy sin everyday not really giving thought to where they are heading. In fact, they enjoy it so much, they continue to serve themselves with more and more pleasures and sin. Satan even offers more and more so that your death and separation from God for an eternity is inevitable. Misery loves company and that is actually Satan's desire, to have potential children of God be lost with him forever.
Now, the fourth component and actually the most important component of Satan's continued destruction is the "water." You see, without water a seed can not grow. Without this water Satan can not destroy the family. My brothers and sisters the water, which grows this seed of destruction, is "free will." Free will is the water that feeds, nourishes and allows Satan's seed of destruction to destroy families, friends and themselves.
The fifth component is the "white flag" which is "spiritual blindness." Spiritual blindness is one of Satan.s most effective tools in destroying families all over the world. Spiritual blindness allows sin and the "Adam nature" to dominate the human life right into death and hell.
The sixth component is the "treaty" which is the "lies" spoken to the tainted family member by Satan while he was waving his white flag.
The seventh component is the "white flag" which is Satan sneaking up on the members of the family as if he were God, "bringing light" [2nd Cor 11:14-15]. Satan does a real good job at imitating and pretending to be God; this is one of Satan's best evil tricks.
The eighth component is the "waving of the white flag to and fro" which is the diversion Satan uses to keep the tainted family member from reading the small print of the contract, "for the wages of sin is death" [Rom 6:23]. If the above mentioned family member was allowed to read the small print of the contract he or she probably would not of signed it.
However the Adam nature is also a very good source of spiritual blindness as well as Satan's lies and deceptions. Even when these family members find themselves turning into a monster of sin and family brutality, they cannot turn off the water.
This family is in great need of help and spiritual intervention. Here again is the perfect opportunity for a child of God to intervene and bring into this family's lives the Good News of the Gospel.
Attack on the Christian Family Institution:
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death" [Rev 12:11].
"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time. [Rev 12:12].
Satan's biggest campaign is to destroy God's children and their families. Satan knows the end is coming soon therefore he with all his crafty tactics hunts Christian families every minute of every day. Satan really enjoys it when he thinks he's got a child of God back under judgment with him and he likes it even better when he can destroy the whole family. He will approach the Throne of God and say, "this person is not worthy of your love, consideration or salvation "accuser of the brethren, day and night" [Rev 12:10].
Satan wants to give God a fatal blow, before being thrown into the pit by, destroying as many of God's children and their families that he can. But what Satan gets angry at the most is that we have forgiveness when we repent but he will never be forgiven.
All across the world and here in America, people and families are being destroyed. Satan's blows will become more and more violent and powerful as the end draws neigh. This is why we must "put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" [Eph 6:11].
As we all know Satan is very crafty, very sneaky and is the second most powerful entity in the universe. He comes to us as an "angel of light" seeking to destroy us. He will influence any family member he can seduce, into taking a ride right back down damnation alley to where he is going. Right now Satan has the "contract of ownership" of planet earth. Satan is the ruler of this planet for the "third time" and is the "prince of the power of the air." The first time was before God destroyed Lucifer's kingdom "wherein all perished." This demise was accomplished between [Gen 1:1 and Gen 2:2]. The second time was during the flood of Noah's time [Gen 6:13]. After God destroyed all flesh with a second flood He promised to never destroy with water again; the next time will be with fire.
Satan has a powerful seducing spirit, which can cause some to think something is from God when it isn.t, we must study God's Word in order to discern seducing spirits. Some of us have experienced these lies somewhere in our lives [Eph 2:2-3], and may be falling prey to this killer right now. This is why we must carry our cross daily and wear the whole armor of God as we travel through our journey toward Heaven.
Satan.s Main Goal
Satan will continually try to create moral decay in God's children and families. When we are caught in Satan's web, we begin to become sick emotionally, physically and spiritually. Some of God's Children have stopped going to church and returned back to a life of folly, sin and became a fool.
We must realize that Satan's main goal is to be worshiped above God. Satan wants God's Throne for himself. Of course, we know that will never happen. However, Satan will continue to try to do just that, until he is bound forever. Satan wants to destroy God's children because he believes that this will hurt God and the thought of this makes him happy. Satan will promise anything in order to acquire a death sentence for even just one of God's children.
Every day more and more people are falling away from the faith. Satan wants us to share in his demise, misery and a state of unrest, wherein is weeping and gnashing of teeth. He wants us to be thrown into the fiery pit right along with him. Satan will continually sneak up on our people and try to make us sinful so he can continually be the accuser of the brethren.
Satan is very upset with us because we have something he will never have, and that is forgiveness of sin, past, present and future, as long as we repent. Every time Satan thinks about the fact that we are all equal heirs with Jesus Christ, he really goes mad. Satan is a very miserable entity and I like that. Amen!
The Struggle:
We have to .put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [Eph 6:11].
The Whole Armor of God:
. Helmet: The Hope of Salvation. [Eph 6:17]
. Breastplate: Faith, Love and Righteousness. [1st Thes 5:8] and [Isa 59:17]
. Sword of the Spirit: The Word of God. [Eph 6:17] and [Isa 59:17]
. Loin Girded: Truth. [Eph 6:14]
. Feet Shod: Preparation of the Gospel of peace. [Eph 6:15]
. Shield: Faith. [Eph 6:16]
We have to put on the "Whole Armor of God" in order to defeat Satan where he stands. Remember that Satan is the second most powerful entity in our universe and the end is drawing neigh. If he can, he will lead us right off the straight and narrow road to salvation. The armor of God will keep our path firm and straightforward. He will try anything to get us to sway in our walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" [Psa 119:105]. Onward Christian soldiers. Amen!
To The New Christian or Potential Believer:
If you are a novice or a newly converted soul, you must realize that Satan knows this. And will try to tell you that God doesn't really want you to join God's flock of Sheep and that you are hopelessly lost forever however, there is no place in darkness that the light of God cannot reach. When you make a mistake Satan will be all over you with guilt and accusations, he will tell you that God doesn't want you in His Kingdom; this is not true, your sin is forgiven past, present and future as long as you repent when your sin is exposed by the Spirit of the Holy Spirit and forsake that behavior in the future; it's just that simple.
Godhead the Father, Godhead the Son, Godhead the Holy Spirit and all of God's angels rejoice when a soul turns his or her life over to Jesus Christ. You are loved right where you are, no matter what condition you're in or what you have done.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them, which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" [Rom 8:1]. The Good News Bible says it this way; "there is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus."
It takes some time before you will be able to allow the Holy Spirit to subdue the Adam nature, which was with you since birth. There is a continuous war between your spirit and flesh. As a new convert you will have some initial problems with discernment, and how to test the spirits to see if it's the Spirit of God or if it's a lie from the devil. However, your Adam Nature needs to be dealt with "for the wages of sin is death" [Rom 6:23] therefore, the Adam nature is condemned and is guilty before God. Guilt is an emotion of the "Adam nature, the flesh and the law."
When you turned yourself over to the authority of Jesus, you became "in Christ." At that same time, you became the righteousness of Christ in the eyes of God through your union with Christ Jesus your Savior.
Guilt soon turns into conviction, which are inner reflections of what needs to change in your life. God tugs at our hearts through conviction, which comes from the Holy Spirit.
Satan stabs our hearts through condemnation and guilt. Satan stole "The Law" from God after Jesus came into the world to be our Savior. Satan continuously tries to cause us to go back into a backsliding life and to be put back under condemnation.
It's imperative that you learn to recognize that which is from God and that which is from the Devil. Continuously reading your Bible on a daily basis is a good maintenance tool, read it from beginning to end, then read it again. What ever you do, keep the Word of God freshly in your heart and mind; this will give you more and more of the mind of Christ, which is Truth. Pray continuously "without ceasing" [1stThe 5:17].
The end is coming soon and Satan will try to become more arrogant and powerful, as he tries to destroy God from your life. Hold firm to your newly found faith, put on the whole armor of God and walk forward as a Christian Soldier. Amen!
Circumstantial Evidence:
Back when I was a medic, I asked physicians and family doctors, what causes people to do these violent behaviors? One by one they sat down with me and said things like, "oh it was just a fit of anger," "he was just stressed out," "I guess he just reached his breaking point."
Can you see the escalation of crime and abuse in our country? Mental illnesses are the third most treated conditions by physicians today. Believing and trusting God can put an end to some of these conditions.
Mental illness is rampant in our country, the kind of mental illness that causes people to commit murder and mayhem. Psychologists and Psychiatrists treat conditions such as split personality, paranoia, schizophrenia, anxiety, panic attacks and other forms of mental illness. Returning to God through Jesus Christ can solve some of these illnesses or they can be treated with medication so that you can feel better and return back to God. These ailments are all by-products of Satan, lies, sin and death.
Please, Ask Jesus to come into your life and heart whether it be for the first time or to ask Him to come back into your heart. Whenever we align ourselves with Satan, we are in for a destructive ride down damnation alley toward lies, sin, and death. Let's nip it in the bud right now. Amen!
