This Message is inspired by the Reading A Better Way from the Book Overcoming Darkness. 

Being Shaped in Iniquity, Our Flesh will avoid the Truth. Our Flesh finds it easy to Blame and Ridicule others rather than engage in Self-Examination. Our Flesh Employs Unclean Spirits to Justify our Actions. (Psalm 51:5, Romans 3:10-18)

Satan, the Ruler of this World, introduces Spiritual Wickedness when our Spirit desires to promote Righteousness. Satan encourages words that satisfy the desires of the Flesh (Our Tongue). Our Flesh justifies saying something bad about someone else because it allows us to vilify our accuser. But We learn to bridle our Tongue so that it does not become an instrument for the Devil’s Lies (A Better Way). 

In the Book of Genesis, we have examples of the Flesh guiding our Actions. Satan lied to Eve. She then ate the forbidden fruit. Adam willfully agreed. As a result, Sin and Death and a multitude of Lies were introduced into the World. (1 Peter 5: 8-10, James 3:6, Job 27:4, Genesis 3:5)

Since the beginning of Time, Satan has promoted Man’s views and opinions and not Thus Saith the Lord. Some of Man’s Views include giving Medical Advice, holding Communion and conducting Baptism. Searching the Scriptures void of Man’s views and opinions anoints us the ability to Rightly divide the Spirit of Truth and not succumb to the Devil’s influence. (Exodus 5:1, Judges 6:8, 2 Timothy 2:15)

Our Unclean Spirits and beliefs in views and opinions subject us to the Devil’s Lies. Resisting the Devil is achieved when we put on the Whole Armor of God. It is only then that We lay down the burdens of the Flesh and reside in Perfect Peace. (James 4:7, Ephesians 6:11-14, Isaiah 26:3)


Song for the Week: 

A Better Way Written and Performed by John Stuckey Jr featuring Ed” Sax” Thomas


A BETTER WAY

If you can’t say something good

Say nothing at all

We can make the world better

With just a little smile

If you can’t make someone happy

Don’t try to make them sad

If you see that someone is good

Don’t try to make them look bad

If you can’t say thanks

for All God has done for you

Then reach into your mind

And find something good to do

If you can’t say hello

Don’t turn the other way

Share some love and kindness

In the words you choose to say
