God's God This!

So often we see wicked people and wonder why they think the way they do. Partly it is their flesh, the are responding to feelings and desires without concern about others.

However, I have seen people respond and act in ways that make no sense at all, even using "word salad" to justify themselves. I believe these instances are the influence of demonic patterns as the devil works in the minds of people.

Have you ever sat at your desk or on your couch and all of a sudden for no reason you begin to feel slightly fearful or sad, when nothing has happened? This has happened to me, I would begin to pray and the feelings lifted, returning me to a sense of joy and calm.

When someone is not walking with Christ, their feelings rule their life. If they "feel" bad momentarily, they must assign that bad feeling to someone else or something else, even though those things or people had nothing to do with the feelings.

Notice too that we have a rise in people on depression meds, teen suicides and man more seemingly irrational actions over the smallest matters. I am convinced these are demonically inspired feelings and thoughts to cause people to sin.

1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

We are living in the end times when there is precious little righteousness in the world and far more people given to following their feelings rather than rational thinking.

When we understand this we don't have to be drawn in, we can fight the feelings with prayer as we learn how to respond to the attacks God's way. The most important thing to remember when we are drawn into drama, is that our conscience is far more important than winning or revenge.

Romans 12:19 "19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

We don't have to train others, we can leave it to God, He really does have this, even without our help.
