Given God’s infinite nature and His omnipotence, it is clear that He is not limited by the human ego.
Omnipotence is the quality of being all-powerful. The word comes from the Latin words "omni-," meaning "all," and "potens," meaning "powerful."
God's Omnipotence indicates He does what He desires and no one can stop Him.
He is not beholden to our wishes. He is the One who sets the rules and makes the decisions. We are called to rest in God’s sovereignty and to be at peace with His will.
When we submit to God’s will, we are released from the bondage of our own ego.
The Bible teaches that God is a spirit (John 4:24) and
He is infinite (Psalm 147:5).
This means that He is not limited by time or space.
He is not limited by our understanding or our comprehension. He is beyond our ability to fully know or understand.
The Bible also teaches that:
God is all-knowing (Psalm 139:1-6) & all-powerful (Jeremiah 32:17)
This means that He knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen. He is also able to do anything that He wants to do.
God is a spirit (John 4:24)
This means that He is not limited by the physical world. God is infinite (Psalm 147:5).
He is without limit or end. He is not limited by our capacity to know or understand, we must understand this.
God is all-knowing (Psalm 139:1-6)
This means that He knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen. Again!!!
He is not limited by our knowledge or our understanding.
God is all-powerful (Jeremiah 32:17)
This means that He is able to do anything that He wants to do. Here are some implications of the fact that God is not limited by the human ego: We cannot manipulate God. He is not fooled by our schemes or our plans.
He sees through our hearts and our motives.
We cannot use God for our own purposes.
He is not a tool that we can use to get what we want. He is a sovereign God who is in control of all things.
We must submit to God’s will.
He knows what is best for us, even when we don’t. We must trust Him and obey Him, even when it is difficult.
We must trust God’s love. He loves us unconditionally, even when we don’t deserve it. We can rest in His love and His care, knowing that He will never abandon us.
We can trust God in all things.
He is in control, and He will never let us down.
We can rest in God’s peace. He is our refuge and our strength, and He will keep us safe.
We can be bold in our witness for Christ.
We know that He is the only way to salvation, and we can share the good news with others with confidence.
We can live a life of joy and hope.
We know that God is good, and He has a good plan for our lives.
If you are feeling like your ego is holding you back, I encourage you to turn to God in prayer. Ask Him to assist you to see yourself as He sees you, which is where the freedom from self begins.
Depend on His grace to help you overcome your ego and to live in accordance with His will. Such as:
“Fill me with your love, so that I can love others with the same love that you have for me. Fill me with your peace, so that I can be a source of peace to others.”
We are free to act in accordance with God’s love and grace, and we are free to make mistakes within the parameters that He has established. We are free to be who He created us to be, but our freedom is ultimately limited by God’s will.
We are responsible for the choices we make, even though those choices are made within the context of God’s plan for our lives.
The spirit is a complex and enigmatic part of our being, but it is also a fundamental aspect that connects us to God and gives us the power to alter our lives. According to scripture, the spirit is the breath of God, and it is the life-giving force that sustains us and all living things. It connects us directly to God, and through it, we can partake of His love, forgiveness, and grace.
The spirit is the essence of a person, the animating force that gives life to the body and soul. It is eternal and immortal, and it continues to exist after our physical bodies die. The spirit is also the source of our creativity, intuition, and connection to God. When utilized for good, we can connect with God and others in a deep, authentic sense. However, when used for evil, we harm ourselves and others, damaging our relationship with God.
The scientific logic of quantum theories suggests that energy and information make up the universe, and the spirit can be seen as a form of energy that is essential to breathing life into objects and vessels created for His use. It is a powerful force that can be used for good or for evil, all-in order to destroy evil and death, bringing unity among God’s Elect.
The spirit can also be seen as a form of information that determines how we think, feel, and behave. The spirit and matter are interconnected, with the spirit controlling matter in the same way that quanta control the material world. The spirit is the energy that animates matter and the information that determines how matter behaves.
In conclusion, the spirit is an integral part of who we are, connecting us to God and giving us the power to transform our lives. It is a force that can be used for good or for evil, and it is essential to the universe as we know it. Through the spirit, we can experience God’s love, forgiveness, and grace, and we can use it to connect with others in a deep, meaningful way.
The Spiritual is real (substantial), the physical (temporal) is not.
THE OLD TESTAMENT is The Shadow (physical) of the True Spiritual truth.
The Old Covenant is temporal, material, perishing.
“Let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food & drink (material matters), or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath (temporal traditions)… These are a SHADOW of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ (Spirit).” Hebrew 10:1
“For THE LAW (physical) IS ONLY A SHADOW of the good things (Spiritual) to come, NOT THE REALITIES THEMSELVES. Galatians 3:23
“Before faith came (Spiritual), we were held captive under the law (physical), imprisoned (in flesh) until the coming faith (Spiritual) would be revealed.” Hebrews 8:5
“The place where they serve (operate) is a copy and shadow of what is in Heaven… This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
Jesus IS the LIGHT OF THE WORLD
He will reveal ALL THINGS (spiritual), there will be no more shadow (physical), the light (Spirit) reveals the shadow (physical), making the shadow (old covenant/ physical), obsolete, discontinued, abandoned…” Hebrews 8:10, 13
“I will put My laws (what was only understood as physical, revealed to be Spiritual) in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts”… …”By speaking of a new covenant (bringing Spirit into human), He has made the first one obsolete (physical obsolete); and what is obsolete and aging will soon DISAPPEAR.”
The physical is not Real
It is an image, nothing more.
“So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. The “Shadow,” has no substance or sovereign existence, but illustrates only the outline of the True Contents. “ Hebrews 8:23
“He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” 2 Corinthians 3:6
“But their minds were closed, to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.” 2 Corinthians 3:14 ‡
SHADOW: Grk: 4639 – Skia; shadow, shade, thick darkness, an outline. σκιά – the shadow of an imminent presence; a spiritual reality (good or bad) describing God’s Light or spiritual darkness. -sketch, outline, adumbration cast by an object and representing the form of that object:
The Gospel Starts with Creation (physical) ends with Revelation (Spiritual).
Bringing in the PHYSICAL: Genesis 1:1“In the beginning (before time) God created (by Spiritual power) the heavens & the earth”
John 1:1 ‡ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it or did not comprehend the Light.
John 1:14 ‡ The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
We’ve gone from death to life, we need to really understand. He’s so good to His children.
The book of 1 Timothy is filled with wisdom and guidance for living a godly life. In chapter 6, the apostle Paul warns against those who teach false doctrines and stray from the sound words of Jesus Christ. He urges us to stay on the straight and narrow path, without variation.
When we deviate from the soundness of Scripture, we risk falling into a perpetual state of discord. This discord is not just external, but it also affects our internal mentalities. Our thoughts become distorted, our understanding flawed, and our reasoning faculties impaired. This corruption of our mental faculties leaves us detached from the truth.
We must refuse the intrusions directed towards us from polluted psyches and embrace the truth of God’s Word. Only then can we find true peace and harmony, both within ourselves and with others.
The Pursuit Of Godliness
The pursuit of godliness is an essential aspect of our spiritual journey. It is a profound and transformative process of being transformed by the renewing of our minds, our hearts and minds becoming aligned with God’s divine will.
The heightened sense of the intensity of insight & understanding that accompanies Godliness is a reflection of the profound impact that this pursuit can have on our inner being. It is a condition of mental contentment that emerges from a profound sense of connection with God, which transcends the limitations of our biological existence and opens us up to an elevated reality, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Ultimately, the pursuit of godliness is a lifelong journey that requires patience, perseverance, and humility. It is a journey that challenges us to confront our deepest fears and insecurities, and to cultivate a sense of trust and surrender in the face of the unknown. But it is also a journey that offers us the opportunity to experience the transformative power of divine grace, and to discover the true purpose and meaning of our existence.
Let’s pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Let us fight the good fight of faith and take hold of the eternal life to which we were called.
“You don’t need to debate Theology, God doesn’t need us to defend Him.”
And to that, I say;
Amen! While it is true that God does not require anything from me, or anyone else, it is undeniable that we are in need of Him.
As a believer:
Defending My Faith and Beliefs
As a spirited follower of Christ, any untrue or defamatory statements about my Faith and Redemption (Who is Christ) cannot be tolerated.
The mere mention of disparaging comments about my Savior sparks a hunger within me, fueled by the divine presence of God. The Holy Spirit urges me to defend His name, as my devotion to Him is steadfast and unwavering. My belief in the gospel and the salvation it brings is absolute, and any attempts to tarnish it will be met with determined opposition. I stand firm in my Faith and remain committed to defending it against all forms of persecution.
Discovering that God chose me and continues to keep me despite my flaws was a moving experience. This revelation has sparked an unquenchable desire within me to learn more about Him and His ways, and to share this message with others.
UNQUENCHABLE THIRST FOR HIS WISDOM
As I reflect on the profound influence of God’s divine intervention in my life, I am overcome with a sense of intellectual stimulation. Despite my inherent weaknesses, I have reached a resolute understanding that God has chosen me and is the sole source of my preservation. This realization has ignited an unquenchable thirst within me to delve deeper into the limitless depths of His character and teachings.
SATISFIED IN HIS WORD, ALONE
Certainly, this newfound desire to gain spiritual knowledge and share it with others brings me immense joy and satisfaction.
SUPERNATURAL KNOWLEDGE
I was compelled by a supernatural force to intimately know the Almighty when He revealed to me His choice of me despite my unworthiness, and in His mercy and grace, He has supported me despite my inherent flaws.
CAN’T RESIST GOD
Despite the reluctance and resistance I had towards worshiping God exclusively as my Creator and Sustainer, He compelled me to surrender my entire soul to Him, even against my own will. Although some may find it hard to believe, God has the power to do this.
I WAS FULL OF PRIDE
I realize that I used to take pride in my ability to comprehend and retain “Gnosis” from various Ancient texts. However, I have come to acknowledge that these texts are the works of other gods, mere imitations from foreign sources, albeit much is true; the serpent tells the truth to trick us.
It took me a while to accept the truth, but after undergoing numerous trials by God’s spirit, I yearned for a deeper connection.
HE LEAD ME TO HIS WORD
He led me to study His Word more intently, to get to know Him profoundly. Through this process, I have experienced a transformation, moving from one level of glory to the next in truth. If you, too, are seeking a deeper understanding of God’s Word, I encourage you to embrace the journey and allow His spirit to guide you. With dedication and perseverance, you, too, can experience the transformative power of hermeneutics.
GOD’S LOVE IS AN ACTION
If you still don’t understand, you need to realize that the One Love of God is not an emotion but rather an action – God’s action.
So, no, He needs nothing from me. I’m the one who needs Him. I have to defend His name, and I’m relentlessly compelled to do so.
GOD WORKS GOOD THINGS IN US, NOT US
It is not me who works righteousness, but God alone. We are sheer vessels to be used by our Creator.
When I think about how unworthy I am, He still loves me unconditionally. This revelation has transformed my life and my philosophy on everything. I am constantly seeking to deepen my relationship with Him and learn more about His character and will for my life.
Scriptural Inspiration:
Sanctify the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. 1 Peter 3:15
The word Sanctify in context means we set the Lord apart from everyone else, making Him be the only one we worship, adore, and obey.
He is Lord of Life.
I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. Jude 1:3
He must be devoted to the trustworthy message we teach. Then he can use these accurate teachings to encourage people and correct those who oppose the word. Titus 1:9
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5
“You don’t need to debate Theology, God doesn’t need us to defend Him.”
And to that, I say;
Amen!
Of course He does not need anything from me, nor from anyone. BUT…
I was compelled to Know Him when He revealed to me that He chose me, and He has kept me, despite me; Even…
Gasp…
Against my will…
Yep, I was kicking and screaming against worshiping Him, alone.
I was only willing to remain in the prideful elation I received from my own ability to retain and understand “Gnosis” from other texts. What I now understand, after much denial, is that these texts are from “other gods” – foreign imitators. Once I truly recognized this and after enduring many trials by God’s spirit, I developed a real need for Him. So, in needing Him and studying His Word to get to know Him as deeply as possible, I am being moved from glory to glory in truth.
So, being marked by God with His Word etched in my mind and heart:
My mind cannot hear a lie about my salvation and remain unaffected because it stirs the One who owns me and dwells with me.
If my heart perceives slander against its Reviver, the Heart of God, His Spirit convicts me to become stirred to defend His Name against slander.
Why? Because I love Him… Only because He loves me. (1 John 4:19)
If you still don’t understand, you need to realize that the One Love of God is not an emotion, but rather an action – God’s action.
So, no, He needs nothing from me. I’m the one who needs Him. I have to defend His name, and I’m relentlessly compelled to do so.
It is not me who works righteousness, but God alone. We are mere vessels to be used by our Creator.
Inspiration:
Samctify the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. 1 Peter 3:15
The word Sanctify here means: set the Lord apart from everyone else to be the only one we worship, adore, and obey. He is Lord of Life.
I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. Jude 1:3
He must be devoted to the trustworthy message we teach. Then he can use these accurate teachings to encourage people and correct those who oppose the word. Titus 1:9
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5
Have you thought about how your emotions can make you act impulsively without considering the bigger picture? It’s important to recognize this and take a moment to reflect before making decisions. This allows us to tap into our intuition and make choices that align with our higher purpose.
Christians are encouraged to use reason and contemplation to guide their actions instead of letting their emotions lead them.
No Rationality, No Discernment
It’s important to strive for rationality if we want to make wise decisions and differentiate between truth and our emotional biases. Removing biases helps us see reality more clearly and make better judgments.
Transcends Logic, Broadens Vision
Being rational goes beyond just using deductive reasoning. It involves a complete process of evaluating options and making informed decisions based on evidence. This strategy helps us consider different philosophies and expand our worldview. It also improves our capacity to make wise choices.
What are the fundamentals of Rationality?
Reasoning: Rationality is based on the principle of reasoning. It involves the ability to think logically and rationally, without any emotional biases or influences.
Evidence: Rationality requires evidence as a basis for decision making or beliefs. Rationality requires that beliefs and actions are grounded upon reason, observation, and evidence.
Consistency: Rationality requires coherence and consistency in thinking, decision making and actions. It requires consistency in applying reasoning principles.
Objectivity: Rationality requires objectivity. It requires one to evaluate evidence without being swayed by personal opinions, beliefs, biases or prejudice.
Critical thinking: Critical thinking is the ability to analyse, evaluate, and critique information and arguments in order to form accurate judgments or make sound decisions.
Open-mindedness: Rationality requires open-mindedness, the ability to consider alternative perspectives and ideas, and willingness to change one’s beliefs and thinking based on new evidence.
Clarity: Rationality requires clarity in thought, language and decision making. It requires that one’s thoughts and communication are understandable and clear.
Scepticism: Rationality requires a healthy level of scepticism. It involves a critical approach to accepting claims and evidence that likely warrant further inquiry.
Beyond Ability; Rationally Gives Capacity For Ability
Rationality is not just the ability to think logically and solve problems, but it is also the capacity to understand the world around us and make sense of it. At its core, rationality is the capacity in which we attain the ability to reason and make judgments based on evidence and logic, void of subjectivity.
Foundation For Comprehending Truth
It is the foundation of knowledge and the basis for sound decision-making. Without rationality, we would be unable to distinguish truth from falsehood or make informed choices about our lives.
Rationality Is Not Simply Something To Do; But Something To BE
Rationality isn’t just about solving problems and making decisions. It’s also a way of life that helps us connect with God on a deeper level. By using reason and logic, we can overcome our biases and assumptions and see the world more clearly. This spiritual path of rationality allows us to seek out greater truths and understand the mysteries of existence.
Rationality Is Akin To Truth
The quest for truth is a sacred journey that requires us to transcend the limitations of our subjective perceptions and embrace the objective reality that lies beyond.
The Need For Children To Be Taught How To Think
Reason is a gift, granted to us by God. As such, it is our responsibility to encourage and nurture rationally within ourselves and the upcoming generation of children.
The shaping of young souls is a sacred duty, and the cultivation of reason is a crucial factor of this noble task. Reason, as a cornerstone of cognitive growth, has the power to shape our very essence, influencing our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. As such, it is essential to delve deeply into the profound significance of reason in the development of critical thinking skills in children. Yet, regrettably, the existing educational paradigm seems to neglect the vital function of reason in the formative years of childhood.
Seeking The Very Substance Of Rationality
Reason & Faith
I believe that rationality involves using both reason and faith to determine what is true and find effective ways to achieve our goals. This approach recognizes that human intelligence has limits and that divine guidance is important in gaining understanding and wisdom.
By reflecting on our thoughts, studying religious texts, and praying, we can go beyond the limitations of the physical world and connect with the ultimate source of truth and goodness. Rationality is a spiritual practice that helps us gain a deeper understanding of reality and our purpose in life according to God’s plan. It involves using logical reasoning and evidence to discover truth and make fair decisions.
God has given us the gift of rationality to guide us through life’s complexities. It is like a beacon that illuminates our path and helps us navigate the challenges we face. Ultimately, rationality helps us grasp the truth about reality.
Reason Alone Is Useless
Reason is important for understanding the world, but it has limitations and biases, and must be complemented by other forms of knowledge to achieve true enlightenment.
Rationality Without The Spirit Of Rationality Is Disorder & Chaos
Without the Holy Spirit’s light, our human reasoning is not enough. We need the Holy Spirit’s spiritual enlightenment to understand life’s mysteries. Without it, we can’t fully understand things beyond the surface. The Holy Spirit helps us unlock our hidden wisdom and knowledge, leading us to true spiritual enlightenment and transcendence.
A Stumbling Block
Without the Holy Spirit, our reasoning is a hindrance and leads us astray. It causes confusion and doubt, making our judgments unreliable. We become vulnerable to the world’s whims, and our convictions become shaky. But with the Holy Spirit, our reasoning is elevated, and we can discern truth from falsehood with confidence. Our convictions become steadfast, and we can navigate life with grace and wisdom. The Holy Spirit unlocks our minds and hearts’ full potential, and without it, we’re lost in uncertainty and doubt.
Faith & Reason Are to be Unified
Faith and reason work together to help us understand life’s mysteries. They are not enemies, but partners. Reason helps us analyze and understand the world, while faith gives us access to spiritual and metaphysical aspects of existence.
What Metaphysics?
Metaphysics is a philosophy that studies the nature of reality. It explores the relationship between the mind and matter, substance and attribute, and potentiality and actuality.
The Holy Spirit acts as a mediator between the divine and human, helping people connect the physical and spiritual realms.
Epistemological Enlightenment
The Holy Spirit’s illumination is seen as a type of epistemological enlightenment in philosophy. Epistemology deals with the nature of knowledge and how it is obtained.
Holy Spirit Transcends Limitations
The Holy Spirit’s light helps us understand the world better. It lets us see beyond our physical senses and minds to get a glimpse of reality. This spiritual insight helps us understand our purpose and existence from a heavenly perspective. We also become more aware of how everything is connected and can see patterns in the universe. This gift is priceless and allows us to see the world divinely.
Blessed be the Almighty for gifting us with the power of reason, for it is a divine tool that every follower of Christ should embrace and utilize to its fullest potential.
Do you ever find yourself making impulsive decisions based on your emotions, rather than taking a step back and logically evaluating the situation?
Well, you’re not alone.
It’s a crucial behavior that allows us to make sound judgments and decisions, free from the influence of our emotions or biases.
Rationality is not just about logic, but it’s also about analyzing different options and making informed decisions based on evidence. It enables us to consider multiple perspectives before reaching a conclusion. Rationality is an integral part of our cognition and behavior, shaping our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. In this post, we’ll explore the different facets of rationality and discover what it means to make rational decisions.
Rationality entails employing logical reasoning and factual evidence to ascertain truth and determine effective strategies for achieving desired objectives.
I believe that God has given us the gift of reason to help guide us through life. Rationality is a medium for discerning the truth.
Without the guidance of reason by the Holy Spirit, we become lost in a sea of confusion and uncertainty.
The capacity for logical, rational, and analytic thought; the ability to think abstractly and solve problems is the basis for sound decision-making and the foundation of knowledge.
Today I am reflecting on the truth which is above all.
In a world that can often feel chaotic and unpredictable, it is comforting to know that truth is the one constant.
Without truth, chaos and confusion may ensue, leading to further problems and disagreements. Therefore, it is important to seek, acknowledge, and uphold the truth in all aspects of our lives, from personal to societal matters.
Truth is the substance that is in all things.
The Creator of all, determiner of all and container of all is Truth.
Even in the darkness, Truth is acknowledged.
Death, being inevitable, reminds us of the fleeting nature of life.
Death is the truth of life and an ultimate equalizer, where everyone, regardless of their status, wealth, or power, has to face it.
Death paves the way for new life, the renewal of the circle of existence, and the perpetuation of the species.
Nothing lives without death, and it is only through the death of something that anyone can become glorified or gain Glory.
Having knowledge and adoration for Truth empowers me during vulnerable moments and keeps me rooted in periods of doubt.
God is Truth, He will bring All that is, into its True place.
Understanding this fact alone provides comfort beyond measure.

Psalm 2:1-4, speaks of the nations’ rage against God and His anointed one but ultimately declares that God sits in the heavens and laughs at their futile attempts to oppose Him.
Those who seek to oppose God or align themselves with the Adversary will ultimately be defeated.
“For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”
Deuteronomy 20:4
Scripture confirms that Satan is a very influential spiritual adversary who is given dominion over the power of the airwaves.
“in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.”
Ephesians 2:2
The Bible is clear that Satan is a mighty spiritual adversary of God, and has been given authority over the power of the air (airwaves).
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12
However, God is sovereign and ultimately has full command over all of Creation.
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:16-17
Satan Prince Of The Air
As in Ephesians 2:2 : ruler of the kingdom of the air
Prince
Air
Airwaves are electromagnetic radiation that serves as a medium for transmitting information, including radio and television signals, over vast distances.
What Do Airwaves Have To Do With My Message?
The airwaves can be described as the spiritual realm, which is unseen but constantly present and active. Just as electromagnetic radiation travels through the air, the Holy Spirit moves and works in the spiritual realm, transmitting messages and guidance to those who are open to receiving them. And just as licenses are required to use the airwaves for broadcasting, we must seek permission and advice from God before using our spiritual gifts and resources to serve others and spread His message.
Satan’s Influence
Satan has a significant influence over the spiritual atmosphere that surrounds us. Just as airwaves transmit information, Satan can use his power to share negative thoughts, emotions, and temptations with people.
We Must Remain Grounded
As believers, we must be aware of the spiritual atmosphere around us and guard ourselves against the negative influences that Satan may try to transmit through the air. We do this by staying grounded in God’s word, praying for protection, and surrounding ourselves with other believers who will encourage and uplift us.
Airwaves are a valuable aid for transferring information; we must be mindful of the spiritual realm and the influence that Satan, the Prince of the air, has been given, by God, over it.
We must keep in mind: The Lord has complete control over Satan’s control over the airwaves, and nothing that Satan does can change that. Satan may attempt to use these airwaves to deceive and manipulate, but the Lord will always be the one with the ultimate authority, satan only does as the Lord wills.
The schemes of the enemy are nothing but mere pawns in the hands of the Almighty. Satan needs permission to act because he is not the master of his own fate, but rather a mere puppet in the grand scheme of things.
The flesh may revile at the thought of God’s complete authority, but it is a truth that cannot be denied.
God is the Lord of life and death, and everything in between. He owns the very air we breathe and is sovereign over everything in the heavens and the earth.
“For in him we live and move and have our being.”
Acts 17:28a
The Holy Scriptures teach us that the Almighty Creator is the Master of all existence, both the beginning and the end, and all that lies in between. He is the possessor of every breath we take, and His dominion extends over all the celestial and terrestrial realms.
Psalm 33:10,11 proves that people may believe in their own free will, but their plans are immediately nullified by the only one with true free will – the sovereign God. He has ordained beforehand the actions of men and planned every outcome, paving every step and calculating every second, whether physical or spiritual.
GOD ORDAINED PILOT
In the divine plan, God appointed Pilate to judge the Son, and God allowed adversaries to rise against his chosen ones. While God does not author sin, he does permit evil to occur through secondary causes to fulfill His divine purposes and bring glory to His name.
In short, Satan may think he’s in control, but he’s just a pawn in the hands of the Almighty.
