Follow The Light

For all of you who doubt, let me reassure you, Satan KNOWS that God exists.

I believe that the evil one invades the Church every day.

For example, look at the tragedy of Dennis Rader, the BTK killer. Oh, my dear Lord, the man was a church-goer, if I remember right, a Deacon of his church.

Obviously, he attended church. But that doesn't mean that the evil one didn't have his heart.

He sold his soul to Satan long ago.

I know, you wonder how he could sit in church with the Believers and keep up the pretense of his life for all those years.

He made a choice.

God gives us free will. Rader could have repented of his choice, given his life over to the Lord, became the man the Lord intended him to be.

Instead, he used his free will to become a follower of evil.

Let him be an example, Christians, be warned. There are people right now, today, sitting next to you at church that do not have your best interests at heart.

Certainly most of them are not at the level of evil that Dennis Rader, the BTK killer is. But that doesn't mean that they don't have designs on your money, your wife or husband, your kids, your life.

Evil inhabits this world and it comes to church with you.

We have to live in this world, but we can CHOOSE to not buy into it.

Please remember, I'm not saying to be paranoid, or to lose your Faith. Not at all.

In fact, I'm telling you the exact opposite! Live YOUR life right. God gave each of us free will. That means it's our DUTY to be vigilant. Push the evil one out of our lives.

Don't be like Radar. Yes, he went to church, he went through the motions, but Radar chose the dark path.

Be aware.

Watch out.

Jesus himself turned over the tables in the Temple. He knew that the world comes to church with the Believers. He turned over the tables and drove the world out that day.

It's 2,000 years later. Follow His example, Believers, push the world back out of the Church. Pray, counsel, and watch. And listen to the Spirit. He tells you in a whisper that something is just not right. Listen to the quiet voice in your heart.

Not the voice of condemnation. Not the voice shouting at you. That's the evil one trying to distract you from what is Right.

No, the little voice that tells you that something is just not right with that person, situation, job, financial advice, pastor.

Satan KNOWS that God is here with us every single day. Don't give him that opening into your heart. Be careful what you do, lest he take advantage of you, mislead you and lead you down the dark path. Watch what you take in, be careful what you put out.

You don't have to choose the dark ways of this world, you can choose to follow the Light. It's a hard Path, but it's the Way of Truth.

Follow the Light.
