Bible Verse of the Day Thursday June 10th 2021

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.                                                                                                                  

There are many people in the world today, as there have been for centuries, that reject Christ Jesus. Sometimes unbeknownst to them, they are in rebellion against God, and consequently they do not want God’s moral standards applied to their lives. They are living this rebellion towards God because of the influences of a fallen and sinful world. Through their own wants and desires, they seek to obtain righteousness independently, which is known as self-righteousness, which is no righteousness at all. There are only two stances in this world a person can hold. We are either surrendered to Christ Jesus, accepting Him as our Lord and Savior, believing He is the true Messiah and the only way to heaven, because of His substitutionary work on the Cross of Calvary, or we are in rebellion to God.  

Satan will try his best to convince all that there is a choice in the way we approach God, which is a complete and total lie, from the Father of lies . Regardless of whatever name any false religion goes by, there is no way that one will ever be able to earn their way into God's heaven, despite how intense or forceful the false acts of faith perpetrated by the followers of these false religions are.

To counter these attacks from Satan that harass the children of God, we must always be about our Father's work, bringing the truth of the Gospel of Christ Jesus to a lost, dark and dying world. No matter how intense these attacks from Satan becomes, he cannot blind us from the truth, that Jesus is the way the truth and the life (John 14:6). These assaults from our enemy, Satan, also can never alter our eternal destination. However, these attacks from Satan can hamper and obstruct our witness for Our Lord and Savior and bring about disorder and turmoil into our lives. This is why it is so critical that we trust and depend on the Holy Spirit's guidance that indwells in our hearts and souls, and not on our own power. 

There are three enemies of every follower and believer in Christ Jesus that we have to contend with. The first is our own sinful nature, which is always in conflict with our spirit (Galatians 5:17). The second enemy we must face daily is a fallen world that is at enmity against God, and the third is Satan himself and his evil followers. This is why it is so imperative that we rely on God’s power and not try to go it alone. Those people that are in rebellion to God can easily be blinded by Satan and his followers, whether those followers are the evil spiritual followers of Satan or the humans whose lives are being controlled by Satan. The primary object of Satan is to blind the eyes of these to the truth of the Gospel and the opportunity of the salvation that is possible only through Christ Jesus. Satan, many times will carry this out, by bringing wealth, prosperity, comfort, and ease to their lives, so that they might not even realize they are at enmity with God, thus cause these people to turn their backs on God. 

There are absolutely no limits to which Satan will not go to carry out his objectives, which is one more soul spending eternity with him in Hell. Consequently, the only way we can move forward in preaching and teaching the truth of the Gospel of Christ is through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Armor of God, and God’s Holy Word, which will allow us to stand up and fight against spiritual warfare that is waged around us daily.
