Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be praise and glory forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n
You need to understand something very important: Satan, our adversary, does not always accomplish his plans merely by his own power. He clearly understands that certain things cannot happen unless they follow spiritual principles that God Himself has already established.<\/p>\n
Even though he is evil, he still operates within God\u2019s ordained systems. Sadly, he uses these principles effectively to destroy, while we, as children of the Kingdom, often neglect them.<\/p>\n
Consider the case of Job. The afflictions that Satan wanted to bring upon him could not be executed through ordinary means. Therefore, Satan chose a higher strategy\u2014he humbled himself and presented himself before God<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He laid down his pride and joined the assembly of the holy angels. He went up before God\u2019s presence with a form of submission, knowing that God, being the Creator of all, would acknowledge him.<\/p>\n And indeed, after observing him, God initiated a conversation.<\/p>\n Job 1:6\u20138<\/strong> Through that conversation, Satan found an opportunity to present his accusations\u2014and in the end, he was permitted to act within limits.<\/p>\n If the \u201cgod of this world\u201d understands that his success does not depend solely on his strength but also on appearing before God, how much more should we?<\/p>\n 2 Corinthians 4:4<\/strong> It is shocking that Satan understands the value of God\u2019s presence, while many believers avoid it.<\/p>\n He wonders why we run away from God. He wonders why we neglect His presence with excuses that have no eternal value.<\/p>\n We say we are tired. But if you rely on your own strength to navigate life, then you must accept the outcome\u2014you will remain spiritually weak and defeated.<\/p>\n Jeremiah 17:5<\/strong> Satan already tested that path\u2014self-dependence\u2014and saw its limitation. That is why he still presents himself before God.<\/p>\n There is a deep spiritual truth here: If we neglect prayer, fellowship, fasting, and seeking God\u2019s face, we should not expect divine direction.<\/p>\n James 4:8<\/strong> Jeremiah 29:13<\/strong> If we cannot dedicate even one night a month to prayer, if we cannot discipline ourselves to seek God regularly, then many things in life will remain unfulfilled\u2014not because God is unwilling, but because we are absent.<\/p>\n When you spend time in God\u2019s presence:<\/p>\n God begins to speak to your spirit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n He reveals your needs before you even ask<\/p>\n<\/li>\n He aligns your desires with His will<\/p>\n<\/li>\n He grants answers in ways you did not expect<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Just as God initiated a conversation with Satan, how much more will He speak to His own children?<\/p>\n John 10:27<\/strong> Psalm 27:8<\/strong> Understand this: God often does not speak through an audible voice, but through your spirit, your convictions, and the unfolding of circumstances according to His will.<\/p>\n If you are a believer, begin today:<\/p>\n Give God your time<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Be consistent in prayer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Attend fellowship and worship<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Practice fasting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Study the Word daily<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Present yourself before God.<\/strong><\/p>\n That is where transformation happens. If you are still outside Christ, remember this: The signs of the end are being fulfilled. The door of grace is not open forever.<\/p>\n 2 Corinthians 6:2<\/strong> Hebrews 3:15<\/strong> Repent today. Turn to Christ sincerely. The Gospel is not something to delay\u2014it is a matter of eternal life.<\/p>\n One day, it may become too late to respond.<\/p>\n Maranatha \u2014 The Lord is coming.<\/strong><\/p>\n May the Lord bless you.z2c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
And the LORD said to Satan, \u2018From where do you come?\u2019
So Satan answered the LORD and said, \u2018From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.\u2019
Then the LORD said to Satan, \u2018Have you considered My servant Job\u2026?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
