Do you ever wonder what satan really sounds like? I think he can disguise his voice in so many different ways. Today, he sent me an email. I'll share it with you...
Please remove me from you email list. As a thought from a friend, "me", Please do not go overboard with your passion about god. Your other friends and coworkers might not share your thoughts. They can be pushed away"
This surprised me, a lot because me and this "friend" have had many discussions about Jesus, and how He needs to be at the center of our lives (I thought our discussions were truly genuine-- but I guess that's what I get for thinking)... I haven't even sent out many emails lately, and this one came... First I was like "jerk" and then I thought... "forgive them Father, for they know not what they do".
I will continue to send emails because I get way more "WOW, God knew i needed to hear that", or" that was really relevant to me". My job as it says in Matthew 28 the Great Commission, go make disciples, and apparantly satan is trying to stop me. "Get behind me Satan-- I got my armor on, and I am going into battle (peacefully)."
Ephesians 6:10-20 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
