Last night at the Beth Moore study we talked about our bodies being holy vessels. They are created by God and they contain the Holy Spirit within them. God declares us as HOLY. Satan will work on convincing us this is not true. He works in many ways as we all know. However Beth made some great points last night that I want to share with all of you.
Satan's goal is to use you, and have you use your holy vessel for unholy things. He will make you think you are not holy. You will begin to act like you are not holy. We act how we think. Have you ever heard someone, or even been the one saying, " I'm not good enough" "I don't deserve it" "God can't forgive me" even as deep as saying, "I don't want to live anymore" Heard anything like it??
That is Satan on the prowl...beginning to attack. He is making a weak spot in your armour that he can break through. He is pecking away and will continue to peck as long as you allow it. Nothing thrills the devil more that seeing God's children bow to the devil himself.
After I wrote the post below...as the day went on, I realized it is an area of my life that Satan wants control. I have been real close to letting him have it, have even forfeited some hours...some days to him. I have been letting myself be convinced that I cannot overcome this problem. I have been allowing myself to feel unholy for it. He has been whispering to me and I have been falling for it. Satan does this in all areas of our lives, but especially in the realtionship area. God made us to love. He commanded us to love. If you think about it, what is one thing that would make Satan smile?? Us, breaking the commandment God says is greater than any other. To love one another. You think that the devil wouldn't work his rear off to cause us to do that? Oh yeah....he most certainly would!
