Keep Fighting Evil.

Idolatry. We need to choose who we worship. Many might immediately say that they do not worship anyone or anything and in a world without God or Satan that might be possible, but that isn't the case. You may choose to believe there is no God, but that doesn't make it true. Just because we believe doesn't make something a fact. Children believe in many made up stories their parents tell them, it doesn't make them reality. Of course, people will then say just because we believe there is a God doesn't make that true.

For me, it is fact that we were created by God. There can be no other logical explanation. Come up with all the big bang theories you want, there is no logic behind something being created from nothing, and you have to go down, way down to the very first something- and ask, where did that come from.

God who is from everlasting to everlasting, God who always ways, without beginning and without end answers the questions that can't be answered. God Is.

Because God Is, all things can be.

God Is and evil became, the two oppose each other with God able to arbitrarily cause evil to no longer exist. The choice not to simply end evil was a choice made because evil came into existence through a creature's choosing. To absolutely destroy evil would mean that choice to destroy being proven to be made from love, pure love, and the decision that evil would never be possible again.

Evil was possible, and we have no way of knowing how long it was possible before it came to fruition in Lucifer. We do know that once it began it was something that needed to be taken to the utmost limits of its power proven beyond doubt the horror and necessity of wiping it out of existence entirely never to be possible again.

Right now evil is almost at its end and what remains is a short window left and in that short window exists still a chance for us human beings to choose God or Evil.

We have a choice and that choice will only exist for as long as we individually live with mental capacity to choose, after death you cannot make the choice. Or until God proclaims enough is enough, and it is over.  Once God makes His proclamation we are all on one side or the other no longer able to choose.

Idolatry is making the choice to choose anything other than God being first and foremost in our life.

If we live for God, we are not living for the Devil.

We truly cannot live for both, if we do we are living a lie. God sees through lies and into the hearts and knows the hearts. We try to hide our hypocrisy but it isn't something that can be hidden from God.

We provoke God to jealousy when we live the lies trying to enjoy sin for a season while proclaim to love God. There is the knowledge given to us by God to know how to live for Him, the things that come from love, and that knowledge is something a lot of people choose to despise. Once a choice to despise the knowledge of God is made we are in grave danger of becoming blind to the evil that exists. We may then, having allowed ourselves to embrace deception, be unable to comprehend the difference between evil and God.

We are told the truth, we are not forced to live the truth.

May we choose God over all… truly over all other things. May His love be what we live, with Him living in us through the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ.

May we actively choose to partake in the war against Satan, by being a warrior for God. May we comprehend we won't win every skirmish we are involved in, but we must continue to fight against evil not allowing the setbacks we encounter to cause us to change sides.

All by the grace of God!

1Co 10:15  I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 

1Co 10:16  The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 

1Co 10:17  For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 

1Co 10:18  Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 

1Co 10:19  What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 

1Co 10:20  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 

1Co 10:21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 

1Co 10:22  Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
