The Devil's Playground

The Fall of Lucifer is shown to us in Isaiah 14:12-14, "How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! v13) For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; v14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’"

The devil was surely cast down to this earth and has, to some extent, dominion over the things of the world. Christ called Him the prince of this world because this world is his "kingdom." This is the very reason he could say to Jesus while trying to tempt Him, in Matthew 4:3-9, "Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." v4) But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" v5) Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, v6) and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" v7) Jesus said to him, "It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" v8) Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. v9) And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."" 

By telling the devil in Matthew 4:10, "Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" we know Jesus Christ knew His authority as the Son of God. You and me know His authority too! Make no mistake, the earth is the devils playground BUT it's our Merciful God that sets all the rules just like any "fair" game. When God is the King, ALL is fair! Never doubt. Never fear. Never give up. Psalm 24:1-2, tells us, "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. v2) For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters." God IS in control of everything in this life, in this world, in all that He has created! Everything in this world and on this earth belongs to God so therefore, He controls and is in charge of fully! So please remember that the world is the devil's playground but he does NOT rule it! And he doesn't OWN it! God does. Always has, Always will! The devil is constantly out there trying to recruit new "players" who are willing to play for his team and abide by his rulebook. And guess what? His players eventually become his victims by doing so! Many people out there, and I've been guilty of this myself in the past, get hung up on all that is going wrong in the world, with the people who inhabit the fallen world, and all the evil blanketing the world in darkness, that God's Sovereignty is forgotten. Or pushed back in our minds.

Keep Your Thoughts on Him!

The local news is surely depressing and so is the national news. There isn't a day that goes by that the headlines aren't about murders, child abductions, robberies, assaults, theft, violent crimes, loss and a myriad of addictions due to all of the above: all within the confines of our own community. There are many days when it appears as though Satan is actually winning this earthly battle. It sometimes is so discouraging to watch him slither around the world devouring everyone and everything that he can. Yet, please remember, Satan is always just ONE Word away from defeat. What is that ONE Word??? JESUS!!! Yes, Jesus! This world may be the devil’s playground, and he might be slithering around it to recruit all of his players for the game, but the EARTH is the Lord’s. Satan plays, but God wins!!! That is our HOPE!! That should be everyone's Hope!! We live in some very evil, dark and chaotic times and it's increasingly becoming more and more difficult to see the Light in the midst of the darkness, especially for those who are struggling to see the Light in the first place. We must not give up Hope and we must all continue to seek the Light! While many people out there are planning destruction, terror and fear, we must rise above it and know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God is in control! We must push forward and through all of the chaos to shine the Light that resides inside of us for all of those who are dwelling, knowingly or unknowingly, in the darkness! We must be their reminder that this world might be the devil's playground, but he doesn't NOT own it, control it or rule it!

In the hymn, A Mighty Fortress, Martin Luther writes the following:
"For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; 
His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate.
Though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, 
We will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us.  
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; 
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him."

Notice the last six words...."One little word shall fell him." JESUS! Yes! Satan has been defeated and no matter what he roams around trying to devour, he is still defeated and we must remember our own power and strength that we have IN Jesus!! But, people upon this earth are spiritually blinded to the goings-on and all the confusion that the devil and his minions are causing and creating more to fall. People have been spiritually blinded since the beginning of time with the fall of mankind in the garden. That's a fact and although it's not a pleasant fact, it's just how it is. However, things have gotten drastically worse, more wicked, more evil in these times that we are in right now. The blindness is thriving and growing rapidly in His own church. I'm concerned about the blindness overtaking the people of the world, including His own people, because blindness prevents them from even knowing what is actually happening all around them. They don’t even see that they're slipping off of His path and following the "lovely, tempting" voice of the enemy. Those who don't belong to Him YET, are wandering around without a clue to what is happening to them, much less what is happening in the world they are playing in! This life we have all been so graciously given and that has been created especially FOR us, is a battle between good and evil, and it’s truly a fight for life, not just here on earth, but for an eternal life. The choice you make of who to follow will give you life eternal OR it will give you the most horrific, tormented eternal death. As a Christian who can see beyond what is right before my eyes, I am sending out a clear and present warning....CHOOSE WISELY and if you've already chosen the way of Jesus Christ but have fallen off the path of righteousness, the CHOOSE TO TURN BACK TO HIM!!! SURRENDER! Our days are numbered. No doubt about it!

For those who are already born again Christ believers, this is for you. Never, ever tempt God. By that, I mean that I'm not just speaking about tempting Him with our words or a slip and fall action. I mean, literally, never tempt God by WILLFULLY sneaking over into the devil’s playground to play in his playground for just a little while. Don't WILLFULLY dip your toes into the murky, muddy waters of his darkened pit and play with the devil. That's what you are choosing to do, you know, when you willingly go romping in his playground! Scary thought, isn't it!? It should be! You see, this is a huge temptation in God’s eyes and because you are His and you've claimed His grace through His Son, Jesus Christ, you hurt God by turning your back on His goodness by choosing to go play where you know you shouldn't! When we sneak off to play with the devil, no matter how little or great of time we choose to remain, we are boldly telling God that we don't have respect for Him. We are showing Him and telling Him that we can basically do whatever WE want in our FLESH, no matter what He has already warned, forbid or told us, OR what He has done for us. When we have to hide and sneak off and sneak away to play in the devil's playground, and we willingly do so, we're literally BOLDLY telling God that Satan has something much better for us than He does. Putting it that way, should seriously speak to your spirit because it's a thought that should make one stop dead in the their tracks before actually stepping into his pathetic arena! It's a trap. It always has been and always will be. This isn't what we want God to think of us, is it? We shouldn't want Him to think we like what Satan has to offer more than what we KNOW God has to offer and has for us! Remember, anything Satan gives to you, it is worldly and TEMPORARY satisfaction and it DOES come with a HIGH price!!! A price many people can't pay!

Painful Thoughts

Most people slink over onto the devil's playground by idle minds and idle hands. Many people today are just being downright lazy. They are doing nothing productive with their lives when in all actuality, they need to be doing something. These people would much rather play video games, sleep, troll ex's, focus on their past, involve themselves in drama, claim "disability" and remain lazy then be productive and work and do things for the Kingdom of our Lord! I see this all the time, all around me. I'm going to take this moment to make my disclaimer about using quotations around the word "disability." I KNOW there are many out there who are TRULY disabled! I KNOW they aren't able to work or if they do attempt to work, they need assistance. I am NOT in any way, speaking about those souls! I am, however, speaking about those who have learned to play the system, and there are MANY, who would rather take off the backs of those who ARE working and earning a living. There are MANY who would rather "use" their disability "title" to get as much as possible, who "believe" they are above working in their eyes what they consider a menial job (just to get back into the workforce) to earn money and support themselves and their families because in some cases, they make more off of the government and support than they would if they worked. Those are the people on "disability" that I'm speaking of who truly are lazy. Who are taking from those who are working hard daily, doing the right thing. Those are the people that spend all of their time getting into trouble, being lazy, into things they shouldn't be into, walking around feeling "entitled" and expectant of all they can get for free. 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread." If you're able to work, then you should work as commanded by God! Oh it's sad and it's irritating!

But you see, my dear readers, God doesn't use the lazy to carry out His tasks, but Satan sure does. Satan thrives on the lazy and the idle and he loves the lazy, slothful way, because where there is room for laziness there is room for SIN. Ah, there's that word. That dirty word, sin! That's what Satan is about friends! He wants us to sin and he will go at great lengths to get his goal accomplished. When people aren’t minding their own business and become nosy, worrying about what the next person(s) are doing instead of checking themselves, it's simply because they aren't living a hard working life, being productive and keeping in line. Not being productive and doing something constructive with their lives, causes them to be susceptible to sin and more likely to slink right over into the devil's playground just to see what kind of toys he has to play with! Don't get me wrong, we are all susceptible to sin, but when your mind is idle, your hands are idle and your life is full of laziness, then it is likely to be lured more easily into the dark crevices in the world! As we all know, sin begins in the mind, with a thought. You don’t even have to do anything really or act out in any way in order to sin. Because of the fall of man and the sin in the Garden of Eden, it comes easily and naturally to mankind that we don’t even realize it's happening most of the time. We tend to let our minds wander around, thinking about whatever it wants to and many times, we don't try to stop it. Why? Mostly because there are many "sins" that we've become so accustomed to in thought, that we can't catch them as rapidly as we should.

The mind tends to be a safe haven for our favorite sin(s), we hide it away in the most deepest, inner most parts of our mind where no one else can find it, and no one else knows about it. It’s the perfect hiding spot for the sin of choice, whether it's porn magazines, porn videos, inappropriate movies, memories of past sexual partners, theft, violent outbursts, harmful shameful words, or any number of sins. It's a place where reliving and re-experiencing past images, actions and memories, have a place to roam "safely." You can ponder and meditate on those things till your heart’s content, all the while everyone else remains totally oblivious to your fantasies/memories/fleshly desires/shameful ideologies/et-al, playing out in your mind while you work, eat, watch tv, talk to your friends or even while interacting with your children.  Please remember though, that your mind might appear to be a "storage box" for all of your sinful thoughts and memories, where nobody but you can hear them or see them, it's important to remember that GOD CAN AND GOD DOES!!! He sees everything! The mind is a powerful thing, it's a fragile thing and it's a wonderful tool but it CAN be a dangerous snare. This is where Satan works his hardest because he can't READ your thoughts or KNOW them, but he does know what your weaknesses are and have been in the past so he can plant one thought and get one of his little minions to "water" that evil seed to make it grow into a sinful ACT. Voila! Then he thinks he's got you......

An idle mind is an undisciplined mind, a wondering mind with wandering thoughts. Having an undisciplined mind is one of the most dangerous things for a Christian! As you begin your journey with the Lord and you understand the power of thoughts and of what your mind can do, you begin to understand how important and imperative it is to DISCIPLINE your mind! As Christians, it is true that we need to be disciplined in every aspect of our lives. It isn't really enough to just control our actions, although that does take A LOT of strength, but the real battle is in the mind. For it is the thoughts of our mind that control our actions. Without a change of mind, which undoubtedly changes your heart, your outward conformity will truly and ultimately fail. It's like a tree with a rotten core, the slightest push will knock it down. We need to be transplanted into spiritually clean soil: we need to change our minds to change our hearts to change our actions. Let's take a look at what it says in Psalms 1, "Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2) But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3) He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4) The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6) For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish"

When we are meditating on the Word of the Lord, it can be compared to a tree planted by rivers of water. Alive, thriving, strong and mighty. Isn't that an awesome set of words to strive to be! We really need to take our thoughts captive and replace them with the Word of God . I know this is a hard thing to do, but it's like anything else in life. It takes a little practice and then it becomes a habit! Once it becomes a habit, it's easier to discipline! We need to condition our minds to respond Godly in adversity and through trials and tribulations, rather than automatically dive into self pity, cursing, rage, control or impatience. Romans 12:2, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." But exactly HOW do we do this? Simply by what we are told in Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things."  If we allow our minds to be idle then what we fill it with is likely "self-talk" which then gives way to devilish thoughts and then works itself into the act of sin. Self-talk. Yes, we've all done it and we all know what that's like. Let me give you a little tutorial and walk you through an example. When we’re bored, our brain begins to create wholly scenarios for us to mull over, agonize over and surely seethe over. Suddenly, some random jab from someone two-months ago or a phone call that wasn’t returned, or an oversight acknowledgment at work for your hard work, takes on a much more sinister meaning. Or worse still, an innocent person standing in front of you is getting the brunt of something "imagined" just because something reminds us of one of those "memories" and so we project it upon them who has absolutely NO idea why we're upset with them. Misdirected anger/frustration/irritation. This is the very essence of self-talk. It's the silent chatter/clatter that inevitably goes on inside of our heads, mainly while we're idle. However, self-talk CAN be an extremely powerful motivator but only if it’s positive and constructive. But if it’s negative and destructive, which is usually the case in idle minds, it will ruin more relationships, careers, families, spirituality and selves than anything anybody else can do to you. We must strangle pointless thoughts before our fragile minds turn them into something much more sinister!

This "projection" just happened to me and I was the receiver of something that had either never been resolved in their past or I reminded them of some wrong doing and for whatever reason, I was the receiver of those misdirected emotions. But let me say, it was a very difficult wall to finally break through to get to that person who literally lost it on me just because I asked them to put a small box elsewhere until I had time to make room for it. This person literally wouldn't speak to me for three days after raising their voice and making some unnecessary comments! No matter what I said, no matter how hard I tried, no matter how calm I was I couldn't get them to speak to me. So I remained silent and waited. It just took a "box" to set them off and suddenly I was "perceived" as their enemy. It's only because I understood the concept about projecting misdirected feelings and thoughts onto others who were just in the presence of the line of fire, that I was able to not take it personally and not lose my cool over being the recipient of something that was obviously MUCH deeper than my asking them to hold a small box for me for a few days. It didn't feel good. But worse, it didn't do much for how they perceived life and people in general.

Here's an example when idleness of the mind also gives space for over-analyzing, which many of us can relate to: Was that exchange with my friend awkward? Were they upset? Did I hurt their feelings? Maybe they were upset with me. Maybe I didn't text them back quickly enough yesterday. Probably. I should call them and ask about it. But wait . . . am I just obsessing over nothing? Will they think I'm crazy if I call to talk about it? It's a vicious cycle isn't it? It's all the WRONG worrisome thoughts that flood our minds for no reason whatsoever. That's where the devil likes to play as well. There's never a lack of things to think about, ponder about or fantasize about. But an idle, purposeless thought life creates a steep, downward spiral of self-focused, self-indulging, self-satisfying thoughts and fantasies. The way Satan gains control of a person's mind is when their mind is passive, idle, unproductively wandering, and when they are out of God's will or not occupied with God's will. It's only when we disobey God in our use of time, allowing our minds to be idle and with unproductive thoughts, that Satan is able to gain ground and a strong foothold. We have to truly understand that the Bible teaches us that the flesh never did obey God’s laws and it never will. Paul wrote, Romans 8:6-8, "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. v7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. v8) So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God." Since this passage clearly tells us that the flesh never obeyed God’s laws and that it never will, then how do we bring the flesh under control? How do we keep from sinning? How do we keep Satan from gaining control of our minds and thoughts? Well, by occupying our time and our minds with God’s will. Paul wrote in Romans 13:14, "But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." So you see, as long as you are occupied in doing God’s will, the flesh does not have opportunity to sin because it's not GIVEN the opportunity to sin. It's when we become idle and our thought life becomes idle or filled with pointless chatter, it's when our minds become idle that our flesh begins to drift toward its natural inclination to sin.

So how then does Satan gain control of the mind? How do we play a role in allowing him to gain control of our precious minds and thought life? Well, simply stated: it's when we are not obeying God in our use of time. An idle mind is the playground of the Devil plain and simple. The way you gain back control of your mind is by seeking the Lord’s will in your use of time and then obeying Him in that use of time. Time is the one thing God gave to all of us. HOW we choose to fill it, use it and cherish it, is up to us. Another way Satan gains control of the mind is when we place our trust in what many Christians mistakenly call the Holy Spirit. Now the Holy Spirit is REAL, please don' t misunderstand me! It's the MISUSE of what they call the Holy Spirit or their MISUNDERSTANDING of the ROLE of the Holy Spirit. What I actually mean by this is when someone says something like, "God told me to do this. . ." However, what God told them to do is in complete contradiction to God’s word! Jesus said in John 8:47, "He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God." God never, ever, ever leads us contrary to the Word of God. Oftentimes, when someone states God told them to do something, and it DOESN'T line up with the word of God, then it's simply their flesh trying to justify what they've done as being right. So when we receive anything we think or believe is the Holy Spirit, the FIRST question we must ask is "Does God’s word agree with what I believe is the Holy Spirit speaking to me?" Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:14, "And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." That snake is pretty cunning and if there is a seed of doubt or desire shown to him, he will pounce on it and turn into sin quicker than you can blink!

2 Corinthians 11:4, "For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!" Paul talks about another Jesus and a different spirit and a different gospel. But how can we KNOW who is the TRUE Jesus that was preached about or what is truly the Holy Spirit that's talking to us or what's the true Gospel preached? I'm going to make another disclaimer here before stating the following sentence. I have an obligation as a Christian to speak the TRUTH of the Gospel. I am a Christ believer, a Christ follower and BELIEVE He died for ALL of our sins on the Cross. It's not about "man-made" religion and man-made rules of a church. It's about the RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ and believing in Him, His virgin birth, death on the Cross and His Resurrection three days later and that Jesus IS God in the flesh. Jesus Christ IS alive! And now I will say what needs to be said. The Mormons have a different Jesus and gospel, the Jehovah Witnesses have another Jesus and gospel, and the Muslims a totally different Jesus and gospel and the list will go on. It is important to know this because many "religions" profess A "god" but do not profess there is only ONE way to THE CREATOR GOD and that's through His Son, Jesus Christ. Some religions acknowledge Jesus as being real, but NOT being God in the flesh. What is the true Gospel? The Bible tells us who the true Jesus is and what is truly the voice of the Holy Spirit and what the true Gospel is. Paul wrote, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, "For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." Also Paul wrote, Galatians 1:8, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed." A harsh and dire warning to all!

Our faith is not based on air, or fluffy feel-good words. It's not built on the good things we do or try to do; Our faith is based on the Creator God, His Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and the Gospel that is taught in the Bible BY His breathed Word. The Bible is the basis for what we believe or do not believe. For what is wrong and right, good and evil, dark and light. So take heed, if a voice tells you to do something that does NOT agree with God’s Word, and it doesn't line up with His Scriptures, then it is NOT of God and it's to be boldly, and sternly rejected. Plain and simple. God speaking through Isaiah said the following, Isaiah 8:19-20, "And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? v20) To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Another way Satan gains control of our minds is when we deliberately and willfully choose to sin.  Our flesh is in bondage to sin. That is an obvious truth for any Christian of today. Might not be so obvious to the non-believers because that's the very reason they haven't surrendered to Jesus' calling in the first place. The sin is more pleasurable than walking in the Light of the Truth.

When a Christian deliberately chooses to turn to any form of a number of sins, they are with THEIR will, choosing to sin. That's a doorway. There are many doorways to enter through to fall into a dark sin. Willful choice is the most dangerous of doorways though because the desire of the flesh was much greater than the strength in Jesus to shut it! So as a result, Satan will take control of their minds and it will take more than confession of one's sin to get freed from the bondage of whatever sin has been willfully committed because now unclean spirits are also involved which are keeping the person in bondage. Unclean spirits will attack and attach at any chance they are given. Be mindful of the permissions you give to the demons! Ecclesiastes 10:8 states, "He who digs a pit will fall into it,
And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent." How true is that!

How then do we keep Satan from gaining control of our minds? Paul wrote in Galatians 5:16, "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." How do we know when we are truly walking in the Holy Spirit and when we are not? We are walking in the Holy Spirit when we are using our time according to God’s will as indicated in Ephesians 5:15-17, "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, v16) redeeming the time, because the days are evil. v17) Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." We are not walking in the Holy Spirit when we are not using our time according to God’s will and when we're foolishly allowing our minds to be passive and idle. When we do this the flesh automatically takes over, and since Paul tells us in Romans 7:14, "For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin." You can see then that when the flesh takes over, it IS GOING to sin. James 4:7, "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." This clearly tells us that as long as we are walking in obedience to God in our use of time we can resist the Devil and that he will flee, and as long as we are focusing with our minds on God’s will and doing God’s will with our use of time, we will have control of our minds. Satan can only gain access to the mind of a disobedient Christian.

Renew your minds! Think like Christ therefore you will be as God created you to be in His likeness! The following Scriptures and instructions will help you in your battle to renew your minds, not have idleness of mind and thought life and thwart the enemies attacks!

Colossians 3:2, "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."

1 Peter 1:13, "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."

1 Corinthians 2:16, "For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”[a] But we have the mind of Christ."

Matthew 22:37, "Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."

Ephesians 4:23, "and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,"

Philippians 2:5, " Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,"


The devil's playground has nothing, and I mean nothing, to offer you! It is nothing more than temporary satisfaction with a high price to pay. To many who choose to follow his ways instead of Jesus, than death, eternal, is inevitable. Temporary satisfaction that has the stamp of Satan on it, has GRAVE consequences. Some are clearly seen, while others are not so clear. It's not a risk you should be willing to take!

So remember.....Satan can only gain access to the mind of a disobedient Christian. If you crack open a door, he will surely kick it wide open! Seek the doors the Lord wants you to enter, as His is full of Light, Love, Peace and Safety!

In these darkened day, the devil's playground is filling up! Many are taking his bait, playing in the quicksand, not seeing the end in sight. I pray for those who are lost inside the belly of his lies, for them to see the Light and to hear and heed the calling of Jesus' voice! I pray that all who are drawn to this sight be convicted to renew their minds, to fill them up with His word and instruction and to live according to His will. I pray for the pain and hurting and the troubled in spirit; I pray for the lost and lonely, the sick and weary; I pray for the souls of all who are on the fence that's heard the voice of our Loving God, to run into His arms! The only LIGHT that's left in this fallen world, is coming from those that Jesus lives inside. SHINE BRIGHTLY! LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY! In Jesus' Perfect Name, AMEN!
