Did you realize our enemy has a tool kit. he seldom comes up with something new. Some of his favorites are hate, bitterness, unforgivness and he might throw in a little lust, jeoulesy and self condemnation! One of his favorites is self hatred. The idea that you will never be forgiven because you are so much worse than anyone else you know.
The weapons Satan uses are sometimes hard to distiquish between the voice is God, my own flesh or my enemy! How do we know? The answer is found in John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. What destroys you relationships with God, family, and friends? What breathes life into your relationships, encouraging love, forgivness, less selfishness and mercy? John 10:10 gives us the answers. Judge every voice speaking into your life by this criteria!
Change direction while theres time. When you try every spirit Test the Spirits
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: If we judge every thought, instruction, adice, and comment by these standards we would not stray!
Rememeber hate is Satans strongest tool. Its his personality even though he comes as an angel of light. Bitterness and unforgiveness is the cherry on the top of every mess he bakes for you, Rememeber, self hate, and self unforgivness is the straight jacket he ties us up in to neutrailize our effect in the kIngdom of God. Walking in the Spirit of God is walking in love! It is not the way you dress, if you can sing or act holy! Following jesus means walking in love. If we cant see Him ahead, we can see the footprints He left through his words. You are not in the path He walked if you are not walking in Love.
God Is Love
1Jn 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1Jn 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1Jn 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
