Entertaining evil
PostPosted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:46 pm
In our world, there are many cruel people. People who have been labeled with a variety of disorders and names and have performed incredible acts of evil. Humans who are often regarded as strict sons of the devil...
Would you sit and dine with these men? I'm not speaking scientifically, so please don't butt in with "well I would like to examine them-" no. You're not going to examine them or try and figure them out. You're going to sit down with them and eat. You're going to talk to them like some school pal chum.
So would you?
Of course you wouldn't. As I already stated, these people are so dark hearted that we often see them as the devil's equavilent of Jesus. Like they are his disgusting little sons sent to pester us from hell. But there it is, there it is...there's the interesting little question.
If we won't sit with satan's sons, sons who are technically human and do know how to love (as little as it may be) then why do we insist on sitting with their father? Someone so evil, that all evil in the universe spews from his being?
Now I know what you're saying, you're saying I'm crazy. "I don't sit with the devil" you say, but oh how wrong you are. Everytime you doubt and everytime you worry or fear, you're doing it. You're inviting satan in. You're entertaining the one you hate most...and why? Why are you doing that?
Entertaining the devil is by far the most foolish thing a human could do. From the getgo we know it's a bad idea and definitely not something we desire. Being around the devil to begin with makes our skin crawl and hearts twitch with anger and rage, so to really make friends with him? But people do it. Even though we know it does no good, we still allow it to happen! How stupid can one person be? How stupid can humanity be?
We've all be through doubt before, it's an ugly demon that rears its head constantly. At first we just try to ignore it, but eventually we all break into the pressure. Knowing full better, what do we do? We entertain the stupid thing! We actually allow our selves to focus on the thought and allow it to grow! So after all the stuff I just described above, we still let that happen? Even with how much we love and believe in God, we still let that happen? What the heck is wrong with us?!
The same is with fear. Despite knowing there's nothing to fear except the most High God, our Father in heaven, we still let that get to us to. We let dumb human fears conquer us. Now obviously some fears aren't quite as stupid, some things really can hurt us in this world...but only to a point my friends. Remember, you have God. You are on the side of the Creator, the same Creator who owns that spider or darkness or high place or whatever. You have no reason to shake or to let those things control you.
So next time satan tries to step into your life, remember my brothers and sisters in Christ...entertaining satan makes it worse. If you give him the time of day, he WILL make that doubt into non-belief and that fear into the worst obstacle you have ever faced...but thankfully God is will us. He never leaves us. So next time you have those thoughts, shake your head and say no. Immediately do it and say no. Tell yourself "I do not entertain satan, I entertain the Lord Jesus Christ" and continue to tell yourself that, over and over again. Remind yourself you DO believe in God and He loves you and you love Him.
But do not sit down and have a conversation with a guy you don't like. Be like Jesus. Tell him to get behind you.
