Is Satan Out to Get You?

Satan tries his best to put barriers between us and our Father.
He finds ways to tempt us away
            from the light and love our souls crave.
Satan's way leads to everlasting sorrow and the pit of fire for eternity.
Only God can really satisfy our souls and give us true JOY and peace.
God, Jesus is the everlasting light that fills and fulfills all our needs.

Is Satan our to get you?
You can count on it.

He knows he’s going to spend eternity in the pit of fire and wants to drag every one of us along.

Misery loves company and he wants all the company he can get.

How does he do it?

Any way he can, and he has thousands of years of experience.

He knows us better than we know ourselves.

He knows all our weaknesses and how to tempt us.

The closer we get to God; the harder Satan works on us.

He knows every crack in our armor and is so skilled at working his way in. And he never gives up.

Sounds hopeless doesn’t it?

Sounds hopeless but it ABSOLUTELY is not.

I’ve learned that when I fall, when I give in to temptation and have no idea of how to get myself out of the mess that I got myself into, I pray.

And it really works. God listens. He’s waiting anxiously for us to ask and then He works His miracles.

And miracles they truly are!

He finds solutions where none existed.

It is not an instant fix.

God, Jesus, works in His time. It must be His will and His way, not ours.

Know that God works all things for our good, to benefit us and not to harm us.

And know that His love for us is limitless.

Just know that when times are at their worst. When you are at your worst. God is just a breath away, waiting anxiously for you to call. It can be out loud or just in your heart and head. He will hear and answer.

Jesus beat Satan long ago when He died for our sins and rose from the dead, defeating death itself.

Satan knows he is defeated.

Now you know it too.

No matter how bad the situation is, turn to Jesus and He will give you peace. You may still have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

But with Jesus help, YOU WIN in the long run.

You win extraordinary peace in this life.

And you win eternal life and paradise.

Satan is out to get you and me but when we turn to God, Satan loses!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 2 Kings 6:16

                               Your life can be in a shambles.

                                         When you turn to your Father, 

                       He leads on the right path through all the problems
                                          that life sends your way. 

Be blessed, my friend in the knowledge that you have a Loving Father who will always be there for you, no matter what you have done or should have done.  When you turn to Him and ask for help, when you tell Him you are sorry for your sins, He welcomes you with open arms.

          No matter how bleak our circumstances, there is hope on the horizon.
             With God at our side, tomorrow will be a brighter and better day.
