When Evil Wins!
Evil looks to overcome the will of God in every person’s life. Evil is a foe that never retreats unless it confronts Christ in us. Too often we are unprepared, unwilling, or surprised. I tell my wife often, “We prepare for the worst and hope for the best in every circumstance we face in life.” Our battle against Satan cannot be ignored nor can we take ‘peace’ for granted.
Everything in life has a spiritual component, no matter how small or insignificant. The rationale for this statement is that all things were created, and God does not create things that are dead. Even rocks have life, but our scientists have yet to discover this truth.
What you do does not matter; what God does always matters. We are so full of ourselves and take pride in everything we do, thereby causing us to fail and remain blind to what God is doing or wants to do. Everything and all things good come out of God’s activity in the lives and actions of His people. God’s will comes through prayer, not because of your righteousness. It I always about what God does not what we do.
“So then neither is he that plants anything, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase”,1 Corinthians 3:7 NKJV. What we do is not important or worthy of praise, but it is always God that receives the glory, and God alone that deserves the credit.
This is why prayer is important, and prayer only works when we are humble and looking to God for everything and give Him the praise for all He does.
This bit of wisdom is for all you ‘Trumpers’. Mr. Trump will not win because of your vote, nor because of legal maneuvers, nor because of the money that is spent on his nomination and election. Trump will win only because of your prayers and the will of God.
It is a spiritual battle and once we realize that every election is a battle between good and evil, and it is only your prayers and the battle you accept to fight will ‘God’s will be accomplished’.
It is time to get on your knees. Forget about what you want; it is what God wants that is important. Prayer is not answered through strength but through humility and crying. Only in weakness is the Body of Christ made strong. Want your prayers to be answered? Then pray like Christ prayed and stay humble through it all no matter how large the fight is or how dark things seem to be. We walk by faith, not by sight, and prayers are answered not because of our will but because of the will of our Father. It is time to accept God’s will and pray that His will should happen. Democracy does not work without God, and it is God who can do all things for His kids, this is what I am looking for!
