Doing My Father's Will

This morning it came to me that it is only by seeking and doing my Father's will that life is worth living. There is great joy and accomplishment in doing so. Self seeking takes the joy out of life. It's like a drunk or drug addict you spend your days and your energies looking for your next fix. The aging process makes life a hopeless downward spiral. For most this life is one great struggle just to survive. If the Great God didn't have such a wonderful plan for us this life would be nothing more that one futile struggle to appease our lusts that ends in death.

Now that Satan has been cast down to this earth human life on this planet has become even more precarious. He is an angry wild beast just rampaging through people's lives tearing them apart.

Increasingly people are being motivated by fear and anger. There is no peace. Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

At best there is only the absence of war. Lives are cut short, wasted on either helping or preventing someone getting something that doesn't belong to them. Much of the planet's resources are use up making instruments of destruction. Many of us know where all this warring is taking the world but think that it won't happen if we don't talk about it.

The sad reality is that it is only a matter of time. Man denies that the cause of our problems is spiritual and is proving that he is unable to solve these problems. Our only hope is a strong hand from somewhere.

Just over two thousand years ago there was one who brought us the message that there will be a strong hand coming that will solve this world's problems. This message got the messenger killed. It seems that we are so caught up in our self destructive ways that we don't even want to hear the solution. Our time is running out. If someone doesn't stop us we will destroy human life from the planet. The good news is that we will not be allowed to do so although we will come close to it by the time we are through. Peace, prosperity, and health will be forced on this world. Mat 24:22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened

Satan, The God Of This World

I ran across an interesting scripture in 2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

This god of our world's system is deceiving people about the good news Christ brought. To put a name to this god we need only look in the book of Revelation. In Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Satan the Devil deceives the whole world. Now that's interesting because a deceived person doesn't know he is deceived.

So here we have the bible telling us that Satan is the god of this world. It is his world. That certainly explains why so many evil and painful things happen as well as the present condition of society.

Under Satan's inspiration and deception mankind has built our society, it's governments, education system and religions. This world is Satan's world. He is a hateful god. His system is driven by greed, competition and strife. In simple words his society is built on the get way of life.

The bible tells us of another God, a loving God and speaks of another world one that is going to be established in the future. It will not be Satan's world. Satan will be put in a place of restraint because if allowed, Satan will once again bring this earth to a condition where it would not be able to sustain life.

The good news that Christ brought is that Satan is not going to be allowed to destroy all life on this planet and that a new society will flourish. One built on the give way of life.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
