Who is really behind the sabotage 4/25/16


Imagine for a moment, the perfect life. No struggle, every need provided for, the perfect environment. No sickness, no sadness, just joy and being surrounded by love. Imagine being given every thing, as well as physical perfection. Now, imagine having ruined it. Taking that existence, those blessings, that environment and rejecting it, tarnishing it, soiling it. Unimaginable right?! Well, this is the case with Satan. He was Gods most beautiful angel. He was given everything and instead of serving and worshipping God in gratitude like he ought, he became conceited, delusional and demented. He wanted to be God, override God and convinced many other angels to join him, who are now demons. One thing that he didn't account for, is the power and authority that God always retains, that can never be matched or superseded. The creator will always rule over the created.

Now that we see this original, first example of a royal screw up. Can you now see why satan likes to speak negatively to us, having us think that it is our own inner weakness causing the problem. Self sabotage is really the act of what satan did to himself all those eons ago. Its the re-enactment and projection of that regret onto humans. Whether it be through the degradation we have been born into through the sin that he originated and thrust upon mankind or whether it be through the daily whisperings that we succumb to. He is wretched and seeks only to discourage, to destroy and to devoid humanity of faith.

No matter what we have ever done in this life, we have been given a fresh and ripe chance, every next minute for forgiveness, every right now minute of our existing life. Jesus paid a very severe price to afford us the ability to repent now, next minute or next week. The act of turning to God or receiving His empowerment is something that the enemy despises. He works feverishly to make sure that he disables that act or the desire. He does that through condemnation. He wants you to feel less than, incapable and defeated.

God never speaks to His creation in this way. He will allow you to observe and acknowledge your sin without condemnation. When He pokes at your conscience it is an effort to encourage repentance. When the enemy pokes at your failure its an attempt to cut you down and cut you off from Gods plan. All we need do is remind the enemy that he already committed the unchangeable act, his end is assured. There is no bouncing back, no do over for that entity. The die has been cast.

Begin today to observe when those incriminating words cross your mind. Self sabotage is the act of the enemy disguised as your own fears, your own shortcomings. Remember this, there is nothing impossible with God, Your struggle today can be your victory tomorrow! To God be the Glory!

Have a blessed week!

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. ...
