Recovered out of the
snare of the devil.
Don't believe the
devil can snare anyone? Expecting some evil monster to capture you and shove
you in a cage hovering over a fire pit- is that your idea of a devil snare? The
devil isn't a fictitious creature depicted in horror shows. The devil snare is the
sweet person, the kind person, the loving person who leads you into his lies.
The devil snare is the amazing feeling you get listening to lies you believe to
be truth. The devil snare is a wolf in
sheep clothing. That sheep clothing completely and utterly fools you to
death. The devil is disguised hiding in
so many churches, in so many groups that claim to be Christ followers. The
snare is following unquestioningly, the snare is believing because it feels
good to believe. The snare is refusing any truth revealed because it would rip
you from your cocoon of self-serving disguised in serving others. Rejecting
truth while following traditions of mankind, very old traditions that have been
ingrained deeply into the fabric of our society, these are snares. Traditions that have become evil now called
good. Devil snares. The devil snares have been around since Eden,
and we're self-deceiving, blind people if we choose not to believe in the
devil, let alone his snares.
2Ti 2:23 But foolish
and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
2Ti 2:24 And the
servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach,
patient,
2Ti 2:25 In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2Ti 2:26 And that
they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken
captive by him at his will.
Recover themselves
out of the snare of the devil.
RECOVERY!
Repentance-
acknowledging the truth.
RECOVERY!
Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive
forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith
that is in me.
Turn from the power
of Satan unto God!
Receive forgiveness
of sins!
RECOVERY!
2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for
we are not ignorant of his devices.
Let's NOT be
ignorant of his devices! Let's comprehend how he works not only in the blatant
evil, but in the blatant counterfeit evil that appears good! Satan HAS devices!
Acknowledge this, know this, accept this and be NOT ignorant of his devices!
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son
DELIVERED-
RECOVERED- from the power of darkness! A very real, very dark- DARKNESS!
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working
of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed
not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
DEVIL SNARES- ALL
DECEIVABLENESS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS- NOT RECEIVING THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH!
Strong
delusions-believing lies-damned all because they believe NOT THE TRUTH, all
because they had pleasure in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!
1Ti 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them
which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
THE SNARE OF THE
DEVIL! A snare! A trap! A plan well laid
perfectly set to go off and entrap us if we do NOT LOVE THE TRUTH!
1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown
men in destruction and perdition.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all
evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
EXCESS MONEY is a
SNARE! Many are entrapped in this particular snare not because they are rich
but because they covet being rich! It's not the possessing of the riches alone
that can trip us up and snare us, and this is one of the devil's best laid
traps. Not being content with what we have, not being content with the
basics. Not being content with eternal
riches, but forever seeking after the world's riches.
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.
Cast out from
heaven. THIS IS TRUTH. The devil is
REAL! The devil's angels are REAL! This is truth!
Being snared by the
devil is REAL.
Recovering from
being devil snared is REAL!
REPENT! SEEK TRUTH!
We can be RECOVERED
from the devil snares. We can repent, we
can seek truth! Our Savior CAN save us
but HE cannot save us if we don't choose saving. We are allowed to remain snared, spiritually
blinded and delusional if we so choose. If we would rather believe lies, we
will be allowed to believe lies- this is TRUTH!
May God HELP us
RECOVER! All by HIS GRACE AND LOVE all through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
NOW AND FOREVER!
AMEN!
