A CUSTODY BATTLE BETWEEN SPIRITUAL FACTIONS
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
Most of us in Christ have the right view of Satan as a spoiled child like creation who has been given all things except the ability to create personally. Like it or not it puts the enemy in an almost God-like state in our eyes. The enemy is however limited in the same ways that we are when it comes to any true creation of anything new. He is forced to use methods of persuasion that are tied to physical things in this world, and yet it is all simply smoke and mirrors compared to the truth of God.
We may find ourselves easily made to believe that something is real from what we see others combine to deceive us into believing a false truth. In many ways, we are caught like small children in the middle of this custody battle for the right of ownership of our spirits. God; on one hand, is not going to un-create life that He has given. Instead, He has made a promise to us to allow us a free choice about the life that He has created in us. It is that free will which God has placed within us that produces either the kind of pure love and desire He so longs for in a relationship with us, or it produces the same turn of events that happened in Lucifer. Either way, God has promised life eternal to this created Spiritual being that we carry within this fleshly body.
With all of the achievements, we have made in this world of men we are still on the In the situation we find ourselves on the bottom rung in our ability to control what happens to the physical world. We all still have the guilt of original sin within us which needs to be dealt with. We don't seem to understand the difference between forgiveness of that original sin through Christ, and the continued need to confess and ask for forgiveness for what we as individuals do that is sometimes far worse. While we would like to claim some kind of control in this life; the truth remains that our opinions mean very little to God when He is implementing His plan of Salvation within this world. We are caught in this physical form even though we may be carrying around the eternal spark of life. That means that no matter what we have done to change how we may feel about life or death God's truth still remains.the same as it always has. It makes me wonder about the millions of innocent lives created by God who has been snuffed out at the hands of those claiming control over their own bodies? The sin of murder is still in place according to the commandments. All we have done is to manipulate a physical aspect of creation but we have not stopped life. We have not stopped God from creating it or the need for the self will give to that life to be tested.
For a great many who have said they have made Jesus their Lord the need to test this gift of self will grow even more intense. I do not believe God takes the word of a liar when it comes to trying to get out of punishment, in fact, if anything I believe the need for some kind of proof of true intent of heart becomes more needed than ever before. God is not going to simply take our word for our love for Him without some form of proof, and that is why He has required us to bear spiritual fruit in our lives. We have likened this physical trial to an adoption process where we find out as much as we can about that parent-child relationship as is possible before signing the final papers for an adoption. We have all heard the many horror stories of adoptions gone terribly wrong because of things that were not fully discovered within the child that later affected the whole family. God will not allow that imperfection to come into His Kingdom, and therefore if we are playing some kind of game with Him in this life and thinking we can sneak something by Him...it simply will not work!things have been done and said
No matter if we like it or not this is something that we must deal with here and now in this life, and it is entirely why we have been physically created; to make that decision within the intent of our heart about God. After all, things have been done and said; and after the dust settles, that is our purpose here as humans. There are powers that war over our spirits as we speak; both created powers and almighty powers. Those principalities and powers in Heavenly places will not stop until our time here is completed. It is my prayer that we will make the wise and right choices in this life for God's Kingdom. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
