Known by many names , beelzebub, devil, satan, lucifer, evil one , etc. We attribute bad with satan. Why then do we get mad when we say “ the devil has a hold on you “ or “fight the devil” ? Instead we just use the word sin for anything, the devil wants us to sin, he is the culprit . He's the one using our own free will to be directed to wrong.
Instead we want to blame people, I think it would be a better way to get perspective to blame the evil one, cause it helps remind us to hate the sin, not the sinner. Instead of “look out for sin” it could be more like “ look out for the devil”. Like Paul says, there are 2 laws at work, one of sin -the devil , and one of the SPIRIT- GOD's ! Battle of Good vs evil , yet evil is trying to catch up ; it never will ! Good ( GOD) has already won ! (AMEN! YAHOO ! )
The evil one (devil) is still trying and having success at times cause look at the state of things- killing for being born this or that , death cause of what you have , Christians fighting over music w/instruments over just voice, rather than the bigger issue of fighting for salvation of souls as Jesus said ( Mt . 28 :18 -20 )
We look at our own troubles and hurt and we think “ the world” revolves around each and every one of us. We forget ( I know for one that, I have and do at times) that the more we focus तो work for others we ourselves are helped in ways we can't fathom . That is why we are to look not to our own good, but the good of others ; it serves many purposes, our eyes are opened , we truly kill/sacrifice ourselves aka so GOD can show rather than ourselves.
But to return back to the aspect of the devil. The above point reiterates who the devil hates , since , if the devil can get us to focus on ourselves , we already lost, cause it isn't about myself only. It's about HE that the evil one hates, NOT myself, not oneself.
Hm , GOD wants us, so it has merit that it is about us, but not in the sense that the devil wants to distort us, like in the garden the devil didn't lie, the fruit did what it was said to do, yet the devil made it not about GOD , but about Adam and eve , and took GOD out of it .
Watch out for the devil! Another way of being careful of sin, or the lies the devil sets out to destabilize or attempt to destroy the work of the MOST HIGH – US .
We add something as if we are afraid of the devil when we say the devil is getting a hold of someone . This is a trick the devil uses cause to take from a movie “ fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself” (Harry potter book 1, I believe, probably not word for word) That is what we do. We MUST stop this because it gives the devil too much leverage. Remember Who you belong to.....:)
Peace, Love, Happiness From God through Christ......Til next time
