Each time that I hear of such a thing happening, I also hear people saying how angry and how disgusted it makes them feel, how sick it makes them feel inside, what they would do to punish the one who committed this abuse. I must admit, I am angered by these things happening too, but I am more angered by those who have the power to prevent these things from happening, but don't do so! What do I mean and who am I talking about when I say those who have the power to prevent it? I am talking about all of us who say that we are a Christian, a child of God, Spirit-filled and blood washed, those who say that they love the Lord, and who are so blessed and highly favored. Mind you, I am not poking fun, I am not doubting your claims, nor am I saying anything to the contrary. I am angered because we as believers are sitting back and allowing God's enemy, satan, cause all of the abuses brought against children. I said earlier, that it would take someone who is totally out of their mind to do such a thing to a child...well guess what?...the abuser is out of his mind, he or she is operating with satan's mind. I know that many reading this, is probably thinking that I am out of my mind...guess what?...I am out of my mind, I have Christ's mind! Let's face it...either we have the mind of Christ, or we operate with satan's mind...one or the other! The sad thing is that the whole world lies in darkness and doesn't even know it, being controlled by satan, and under his influence! Before you get mad, remember that if you are a child of God, that is if you have received the Spirit of God to live in you, then you are not of the world. When I say world, I am not talking about the physical planet, I am talking about those people who are not of God, who don't have God's Spirit in them, who have never received Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. When people commit these horrible crimes, they are being controlled by satan. They are not in their right mind (the mind of Christ).
God put this earth's rulership into the hands of man! In Genesis 1:26, God gave mankind dominion over the entire Earth, over every animal, demonic powers, time and space, matter...everything but other men. Isn't it funny that we can exercise authority over other men, the thing that we don't have authority over...but we don't exercise authority over what God assigned us to exercise authority over. He said, "Let them have dominion", not "Let Us have dominion". He put us (believers) in charge of this earth, and that means in charge of the powers of darkness also. If this is true, and we know that it is because God said so, then why do believers keep begging God to do something about this abuse and about all of the crazy things that are happening in the world today? Why aren't we exercising our delegated authority over it? We spend too much time begging God, instead of commanding satan, while satan is doing everything that he wants to do...dividing men, economic woes, causing racism and hatred to run rampant in the earth, deception, adultery and fornication, murders, natural disasters, terrorism and every evil known to man.
Why does the body of Christ not want to rise up against our enemy satan? It is easier to hate someone who we can see, someone with skin on. Why do we keep attacking one another when God has plainly told us that another man or women, is NOT our problem. I know that satan is loving what he is seeing today. All of his evil has been permitted to take place whenever and wherever he wants it to!
Believers must rise up. We must be the light that shines in this darkness. We must not continue to sit back and allow satan to control the earth that God put us in control of! God is not going to do what He has given us power to do! I know that many believers will disagree with what I am saying, but God said it to us, I am only saying what is in His Word!
The world is lost. It is blind. It lies in darkness, and doesn't even know it! It is going to hell, if it does not change. Change what? Change rulers, change kingdoms, change governments, change its allegiance. People in the world has satan as its leader...they are a citizen of his kingdom, under his government, giving him their allegiance!
We who are God's ambassadors in the earth, are here to invade enemy territory, we are here to bring God's government to earth, we are here to shine forth as God's light, we are here to turn the hearts of men from satan to God, from darkness to light, we are here to intercede. We are here to take over! We must put a stop to what satan has been free to do. We can no longer just sit by and hope that God will just step in and do something. We must be good stewards. The power has been put into our hands. It is up to us!
John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Isaiah 60:2
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them
