May you receive 20/20 clarity of “spiritual vision” as you seek and obey truth, recognize and flee deception, and become pure, holy, and eagerly prepared in the sight of our coming Savior and King!
Satan “deceives the whole world.” We are “not to be ignorant of his schemes lest he have an advantage over us” and we become his victims who are enslaved again to sin and it’s deadly consequences.
This ongoing series will be most beneficial for all, who at any cost, desire a Biblically sound and victorious holy walk following the Savior on the “straight and narrow path” that leads to the kingdom of heaven.
Let’s take an honest assessment of our spiritual fitness in order to be victorious in our “good fight of faith” against our self centered flesh, the world’s enticing pulls, and Satan’s cunning strategies to ensnare us.
The prideful defiant misuse of the free will is the nucleus of all rebellion against Almighty God. This is the definition of sin and its consequences of eternal separation, far away from the Holy One and His Kingdom.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of Yahveh [God]” (Romans 3:23). We are “by nature children of wrath” but be of good cheer, Yahshua (Jesus) came to set us free from sin’s rightful penalty (Matthew 13:42).
The Father’s will in creating Adam and Eve was that He would have an eternal personal relationship with His beloved children and give them continual wisdom to righteously rule over His wondrous earth and creation.
Yahshua (Jesus) is the head over His body and He is the head over every family and household of His redeemed. He has a Divine Design expressed in His Word that He wants to write on our hearts and fulfill through our surrendered lives.
One day, Satan slyly entered the Garden of Eden using the “crafty serpent” as his instrument of deception. Eve foolishly engaged with him, instead of wisely fleeing the powerful tempter and destroyer of her soul.
“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”… “You will not certainly die,” … With these words Satan successfully “deceived Eve” undermining her faith and loving obedience to her Father.
Adam and Eve lacked wholehearted love and reverential fear of their Heavenly Father; this resulted in their vulnerability to deception. Satan’s lies successfully caused them doubt, deny, defy, and to despise their Father’s word.
As redeemed children in the Almighty we must be fully dependent on our heavenly Father. Indeed, we must repent, resist, and deny our flesh nature which is always vying for its independent right to make its own decisions.
Satan and his demons gains access into our lives through deception, temptation, and sin; opening the doorway called rebellion through which they have freedom to ravage our lives. We must not be unaware of his schemes!
“We must obey God rather than men.” If the voice of our self or anyone else does not line up to His biblically expressed voice we are to say absolutely, “NO!” to every other voice, regardless of the cost of being obedient!!!
The Son of God, the Almighty Conqueror, came in bodily form as the “Son of Man” to rescue His people from the bondage of Satan’s deception that lead to sin and eternal death. Yahshua, will save His people from their sins.
Our Passover Lamb, has poured out His atoning blood, to redeem you to be His very own, now and forever! He described two pathways–the broad path leading to eternal death and the narrow path leading to eternal life.
The choices we make and the fruit of our choices are like seeds that are being sown in our lives and in our linage. We must prayerfully seek to recognize and then repent for all the evil self-nature fruit that has filled our lives.
On the battlefront of the wars of the wills, it is vital to understand that our flesh, with its inbred willful sin nature, is to be treated as a deadly archenemy to the indwelling Holy Spirit.
It is grievously shocking how many believers in God and the Messiah are believing the devil’s rampage of lies and have fallen prey to his arsenal of deception, becoming politically correct rather than biblically righteous.
Apostle Paul a “Hebrew of Hebrews”, and a Pharisee and scholar of the Scripture, was chosen specifically by Yahshua (Jesus) to teach the non Jewish (Gentiles) about the Holy One of Israel and the Jewish roots of their faith.
