Satan Exists.

In the Word of God we are told about Satan and his evil. We are given descriptions of actions that are of evil. We are told that Satan rules this world. We are told that Satan deceives. We are given examples of evil. The reality of evil is all around us at every turn. Yet Satan blinds the minds of people to the evil. Satan sets up lives so that deception is key. Satan takes the truth, the beloved truth of God and taints it just enough to capture the majority of people in his deadly snare. Tainted truth is rarely seen as such because it so closely resembles the truth only those who are truly God's will be able to recognize the taint. With blinded eyes the world will be caught up in the deception, and our only hope for untainted truth is found solely in the heart consecrated to God before all else.

When I've mentioned spiritual evil to some people, I get this odd look, like I'm talking about something that doesn't exist outside of people choosing to commit evil acts. That there is a real Prince of this world who is evil, is beyond the comprehension of many people. We need faith to believe in God, and from our belief in God we are forced to automatically believe in the Devil. You simply cannot believe one without the other. Both, or none. 

Those who choose to believe in none- are admitting that the world they live in is all there is, and there is nothing else, end of story. They choose to believe that their lives are ultimately of little meaning. They can have no hope for a life different than exists now. The life span of a man is just too short to be other than considered a tiny, insignificant cog in a wheel of billions of cogs that will never all agree to a peaceful existence- left to its own. This world is bent on self-destruction rather than peace all the while crying for peace. No one is willing to submit when all would have to submit.

Truly, life holds no real meaning at all outside of the hope we can only find in God, through the sacrificing blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, God with us. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit must be our hope.

Evil exists, it's all around us in the tainted truth the world believes, may God give us ONLY HIS TRUTH, untainted! May we have eye salve for our blind eyes!  Please LORD we would be YOURS. We believe, help thou our unbelief!

All in YOUR LOVE!
