JESUS IS ALL!
We are living in an unsafe world. We are entirely too selfish. We are focused on ourselves more than others. (GALATIANS 5:17, 19-21) Human nature is a problem (ROMANS 3:10-12, 23). None are righteous. No fear of God (ROMANS 3:17-18) We have many problems. God has a plan for us. There is another spiritual being that walks the Earth right along side of us trying to turn us against God. Satan, the devil, hates us because of God's plans for us. Satan's plan it to turn us against God and take over the world. He wants to devour and destroy us. A lot of our problems come from Satan. Is there really a devil? Yes, there is. (EPHESIANS 6:11-12) We must wear the WHOLE armor of God every day. Satan has a strategy against us. Half of Americans don't believe God exists. More even believe Jesus was a sinner. (ROMANS 8:7) Satan tries to influence us every day. He wants to destroy us (REVELATION 13:9). Satan influences us through our desires. (ROMANS 1:28-30, 32), (EPHESIANS 2:2-3) Satan is the prince of the power of air. HOSTILITY, HATRED, and REBELLION are ALL against God. Concern for self and no one else. ALWAYS check yourself. The devil tries to influence us against others. (2 CORINTHIANS 4:4, REVELATION 12:10, JOHN 8:44, EPHESIANS 6:12) Satan thinks if he can destroy us, he can stop God's plan for our lives. He is the master of misinformation. He packs his product so well that it seems good. He's poisonous. He wants us to sin against God. We have false preachers, false teachers, false prophets, false religions, and false churches. We have counterfeit leaders who are the devil in disguise. Where do churches get their facts from in the Bible. (2 CORINTHIANS 11:14-15) Satan pretends to be an angel of light. (MATTHEW 24:4-5, MATTHEW 19:17) Seek God's help. (MATTHEW 6:9,13) Please PRAY every day. Resist the devil (JAMES 4:7) We must change our evil ways to the goodness ways of God.

Living in a world fraught with challenges, I have often found myself wrestling with the reality of spiritual influences. The concept that Satan actively seeks to divert us from God's plan resonates deeply, especially when considering the presence of hostility, selfishness, and rebellion around us. I have personally experienced moments where temptation and misinformation seemed overwhelming. Yet, embracing the teachings about "wearing the whole armor of God" (Ephesians 6:11-12) has provided strength and clarity. One practical way I have combated these daily struggles is by praying consistently and keeping my focus on God’s word. Prayer not only brings peace but also fortifies the heart against the subtle and deceptive tactics of spiritual adversaries. Reflecting on scriptures like James 4:7—which encourages us to "resist the devil, and he will flee from you"—has empowered me to confront personal challenges with greater confidence. Additionally, I have become more vigilant about the influence of false teachings and misinformation around me. It's not always easy to discern what is true, given how convincing false prophets or counterfeit leaders can appear. But grounding myself in the Bible and seeking the wisdom imparted in passages such as 2 Corinthians 11:14-15—reminding that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light—has helped me remain cautious and faithful. An important lesson I’ve learned is the significance of humility and turning away from selfishness. Practicing genuine concern for others and examining my own motives have been transformative steps in overcoming the negative traits highlighted by Scripture, including hostility and hatred. Finally, the reminder from the Sabbath message, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27), offers a profound perspective on rest and restoration in God. Taking time to honor this principle has enriched my spiritual journey, providing continual renewal and fortifying my commitment to walk in God’s goodness.
