The Devil's Game

Those who claim believers are intolerant are playing the devils game, which is to accuse believers of the very things they are doing and we are not.

The most intolerant people I have met have been unbelievers who hate truth. They allow themselves the privilege of saying and doing anything they want, but are enraged when we say what we believe.

The 2 Timothy 3:1-5 crowd, must have their own way even when it comes to speech. They will not tolerate anyone who disagrees with them but will spout anything they want, they are hypocrites.

The devils favorite tactic is to accuse the innocent of evil doing when the innocent are not but the devil is.

Christians do not force anyone to believe their way, we simply tell the truth and allow others to make their own choices.

Intolerant wicked men use emotional and verbal manipulation and intimidation to coerce others to accept their ways. Sadly far too many in the church have allowed these emotional and verbal manipulators to control things by backing down when they are abused. These wicked people will accuse us of intolerance merely through our speech, when they allow themselves the luxury of speaking all day long without challenge.

When we see the abuser is refusing to see our side of things, then we are commanded by God to walk away and leave it all to God. Our power is not in our own ability to convince a rebellious person, however our power is in Christ, Who can handle all things without us. We obey Him, then walk away to allow Him to use what we have said and done.

2 Timothy 3:1-6
"1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

John 8:44
"The devil was a murderer from the beginning he does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he speaks according to his own nature, he is a liar and the father of lies."

Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

The tactics of the devil are diabolical, divisive and destructive! The more hyper-sensitive he can make the unsaved, the more enraged they become over the smallest matters. When self is on the throne, then all bets are off, anything goes and no one is allowed to question or criticize except when it is against God's people.

How many of you have been attacked in vicious ways for attempting to bring good sense to a discussion. When it was all over you were left completely baffled as to how such a small matters was blown out of proportion into the monster it became. What you experienced was irrational deception of the enemy. Unbelievers are at the mercy of this deceitful enemy Satan.

I am convinced that in these end days the devil and his minions are ramping up their attacks against believers while blinding further the eyes of unbelievers. Be on guard, keep seeking Christ and do not be intimidated when the devil is using family, friends and community to undermine what Christ is doing in us. We don't have to become whimpering puddles on the floor from their attacks, we can stand strong and resolute in our decision to obey Christ.
