I’ve been making no secret that I’ve been making positive strides to change things about me. For the longest time I’ve sat in complacency, just letting others pass me by as I sit comfortable. Blaming everyone else but myself when things go south because of my poor choices. Oh sure, I can’t step foot in the Crossing without being affected, but this change is internal.
If there is one thing that has been constant, change or no change, is that Satan knows where to get me. For the longest time is was my internet usage, then it was my anger, then it was money at the same time as relationships. Jesus has helped me in all of those areas to make positive changes to be more like Him.
Over the last couple days it seems it’s been envy. I wasn’t keeping guard and all of a sudden I feel overwhelming envy for a specific group of people. I know it’s silly and I know the reasons not to be envious, but the feeling is still the same. So my wife and I combat with prayer and just continue on, living with Jesus.
I write this as a warning. The next few months at the Crossing are going to be busy, life-changing, focused and also awesome. The next series, Angels & Demons deals with the supernatural. Satan is going to do everything that he can to mess with us. He is going to try and find those little areas where his demons can tweak a feeling, make something break, steal our money, whatever…
Be guarded. Be prepared. Don’t let there be any room where Satan can get us….
