The question often arises, “Aren’t we all God’s children?” This, for sure, is a common belief. Sin’s error(s) are often set in paths seeking truths relief. Disobedient hearts around this globe are filled with oppression and with loss and anticipatory grief. Could failed opportunities lie at sins door because God’s eternal truths were not allowed to be settled in one’s core?

For you who have interest, your adversary, the devil, has ability to hold the infallible at bay. Listen up. God’s Living Word is plain that his job is that of working death and decay. Together let’s examine infallible truths for clarity eliminating misconception for God’s intention for man was never that of eternal separation.

According to the eternal God, there are children of disobedience. Ephesians 2:2 declares; Wherein in time past you and i both walked according to the course of this world according to the prince of the power of the air. Be not deceived, for about you, nor me, the devil employs no love nor care! It is his malevolent spirit that desires to kill, steal, toy, and destroy one’s fullness of life and its joy!

For this ‘old man‘, in essence, is the spirit, nature, and power of sin. And as many of us have known, its a dark ole den! That being true – this ‘old man’ is nothing more nor less than the spirit, nature , and power of the devil working in men of disobedience! From this news, changed … must be all previous views! Romans 12:1 is the real Top Gun: Brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. In prayer may we be found, our knees in bend …for only a life found ‘in’ Christ can make the amend.

Let’s talk a bit more as to the disobedient. Did you ever stop to think of the fruit produced from such a life? One of the fruits is called ‘strife’ has it been in your life? This fruit cuts like a knife and hangs with lowlife. Perhaps, on the other hand you’ve found yourself entangled in its snare of bewilderment, if so, i trust that you receive divine enlightenment. This is just one naughty fruit. There is a much larger, darker root of which the adversary works diligently in pursuit. He looks for those who are not sober nor vigilant to pollute, devour, and to all goodness in life, he wishes to uproot!

Galatians 5:19-21, reminds me of my Aunt Mun. She’d say hun, the works of the devil are these: and she’d name em off one by one. The Dake’s? …reads like this: adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, uncleanness, and here she would always make known that the Bible spoke of those of the same sex and its unnaturalness and damning qualities. and follows Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath. seditions, heresies, envy, murder, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. That they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God! well let me tell you, at that age, i sat very quietly and with my head i would nod. I knew that my Aunt Mun was a woman who feared God.

Their fruit is that of fleshly desire and corruption she’d say, with spirits prone to public eruption, and she would tell her stories. With raised eyebrow I’d hear, hun, let not this spirit allure you. But the precious Living Word of God you are to, in all circumstances, forever ensue.

There are Sons of obedience. To a son of God the above list would for sure not be looked upon as expedience. A son would apply much resistance. How? for one, they have killed the institutionalized sacred cow. John 10:27 says that My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. Sons of God are enabled to listen under direction of God’s pure Spirit. Do you see it? It is by the Spirit of God that one can by demonstration, live it.

How did evil get into the world anyway? Genesis three gives the answer for FREE. Evil was introduced into the world by sin via Adam and Eve. Together they chose to disobey – falling into the eternal, deaths fray. This is a game that a son of obedience never, never will play. Romans 5:12 makes it clear that through one man sin entered the world, and death by sin! And by this, death passed to all men. The Good news? A son can see Jesus Christ in full view. In the heart of a son it is said; Lord. we can count on You.

Does man have an invisible adversary? 1 Peter 5:8 says its the devil but most say that ‘he’s not real’ but imaginary ! Would you believe it a bit extraordinary? What about Ephesians 6:12; way worse than the charm or a spell. Here is the foe but you have to read and study God’s letters to be in the know! Here, our God teaches us how to war! of this we are to care, assemble in prayer, and take up spiritual warfare.

There is much to say still, and if i were hanging with the old peer …i’d be saying let’s later take this up ‘over a beer’. Those days are forever gone. For me, brother, its another time and a new day! God is faithful. His Word is Living, and it is true. By it my life has been renewed and now am a new creature – a life hidden with Christ ‘in’ God! you can have that too.
