1st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
For the time being there are several other ways and means that are employed to sway choices, and all these must now be fully unmasked for what they really are. Since the day our first parents ate of the forbidden tree, everything that pertains to the human experience has been tainted with good and evil. That’s an undeniable fact.
We should understand, that in the overwhelming majority of instances, evil is advertised as having some type of benefit. When in the garden of Eden, the cunning serpent sought to enlist Eve in his ranks, he touted those supposed benefits that will accrue to her and Adam if they would turn aside from the instructions given them by God.
And thus, it has ever been throughout the history of mankind. A lot of new illnesses have been plaguing humanity of late, and science seems to be at a loss for the ways and means to effectively keep up with the emerging crisis. Those mitigation efforts put in place to stave off the use of dangerous drugs in our day, have been met with stiff resistance from our invisible foes. And very often, such efforts deal with the symptoms, and not the main underlying cause of the problems.
Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
