Children of Disobedience

The children of disobedience have the spirit of the prince of the power of the air working in them.  Who is this prince that enables the disobedience in these people? What prince rules over disobedience and therefore over sin, over evil?

Eph 2:1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2Co 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them

The god of THIS world! This is the prince of disobedience. And the god of THIS WORLD BLINDS those who choose to be his, keeping the LIGHT of the GOSPEL of CHRIST from them!
What sort of god would keep the glorious gospel from people? What sort of god would have us kept in darkness?

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Rulers of darkness! Principalities! Powers! Spiritual wickedness! Who?

Joh 12:31  Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

This god will be CAST OUT.

Rev 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

THE DEVIL! SATAN!

Rev 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The devil is REAL and NOT TO BE TRIFLED with!

Reread this--


Eph 2:1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience

We who were under SATAN, that's YOU, that's ME!  We were DEAD in our SINS! We WALKED according to the course of THIS WORLD. We WALKED according to SATAN and all those who are NOT living redeemed under the grace through the gospel of our SAVIOR, are STILL WALKING WITH SATAN!

IT'S TRUTH!!!!!!!

Eph 2:3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

THIS IS US! THIS WAS US! IT IS US NO LONGER!

Eph 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

BY GRACE WE ARE SAVED!

We are saved from the prince of the air, from principalities, from the powers of darkness, from the dragon, from satan, from the devil!   We don't HAVE to succumb to the course of this WORLD which would have us die in eternal death with Satan.

You think this world has good things for you? You think this world will be changed to goodness?  No!  This world will not ever be the world that is truly idealized.

Our Savior did NOT come to bring peace to THIS world, but a SWORD.  That sword is the weapon that will defeat the prince of this world, the WORD of GOD defeats satan!

We cannot glorify satan! We cannot glorify this world and its evils!

We must glorify GOD!

By the GRACE of GOD we are SAVED through FAITH! ALL IN HIM! None in us!

Please LORD, we would be saved by YOU!

Save us, LORD and SAVIOR, save us!
