I recently began reading a book which shall remain nameless along with its author...
I've made notes on most pages, because something said is either so laughable or is simply giving the devil way too much credit!
This author has missed one simple issue within the demonic ranks that, I saw a lot of when I was a witch... Disunity and disharmony...
In this book the author talks about this huge plan that the devil has where every man woman and child will be given the mark of the beast! (There is nothing new here - Revelation talks about all of this stuff) But, the perspective is written so that it sounds like the author is trying to say that God is almost not strong enough to combat or even defeat the devil.
There is a list of "types" of people from the rich and famous, to politicians, to the humble person next door!
However, it seems to have been forgotten that God has a plan, and because God is a creator genius, who created the devil in the first place, He has not only defeated the devil at the death and resurrection of Jesus, He also knows exactly what to do with him!
This book gives way too much credit to the devil, who already has an extremely over inflated view of himself...
If I was going to write a book, the subject would not be on the devil! His head is already too swollen for his own good! I dont really want to be adding more to his pride and ego!
A few years ago, if I had have read this book, I would have totally grasped hold of it like it was gold! But what I know of the devil and of God, this one will be heading to the deep dark recesses of my library... Probably to never see the light of day! There are better books to be reading!
My thought is - why waste time reading about what the devil wants to do, when you can spend time in Gods presence (the holy of holies) learning about God and what He says He will do, in you and through you?!
If we spend all our effort on the devil, we run the risk of becoming like him. If we spend all our effort on God, we run the risk of becoming like Him! (That is a pretty good risk, if you ask me!)
While I agree that we "need to know our enemy", all we really need to know is that he is our enemy and he is already defeated!
What we desperately need to know is that God is for us, so no-one can stand against us! God is our shield, our strength and our rear guard. God will always vindicate His people! And He protects His own! (If you don't believe me, do some bible studies on the subject!) God says that we are to not fear, and that if we submit ourselves to Him, and resist the devil, the devil will have no choice, but to flee, because he can't stand being in the presence of God! If we put ourselves onto the presence of God everyday, then we will naturally resist the devil! God also says to us to be anxious for nothing, but in ever situation, by prayer and petition, submit your requests to God!
We don't need books that tell us about the devils plans, we need to learn Gods word and practice daily time in Gods presence.
May Gods blessings shower down upon you. And may you be coated in the dust of your Rabbi!
