βThis is a war in the eternal world β a war for our everlasting-lives β and we fight halfheartedly, forever losing parts of our armour and leaving ourselves and others wide open to attack.β
βββββββββββββββββββββ
At the start we said: βIt would be great if we could deal with the Enemy and give him no influence in our lives.β And we asked: βDo you think that we can achieve that.β
So, what do you think?
We also said: βwe must not be lulled into a false sense of insecurity.β
What I mean is this:
We have security β in God. In absolute respect for God and a complete dedication to obey everything that Jesus said β there you find security. This is a security that stretches into the everlasting world of God; it never ends. Even if we die in this life, we are safe forβ¦

As we have already said, the enemy is going to do whatever he can to make us disobey God. He is going to use all his influence to cause as much mayhem in this world as he can. This is a big question: who is actually carrying out the mayhem?
I have certainly never seen the Enemy but I have seen so much of his work being done by people β by non-Christians and Christians alike.
This is something that Paul wrote:

The Enemy is going to do whatever he can to frighten us or persuade us to disobey God and fall away from the faith. He will throw all kinds of feelings and thoughts our way to try and lead us to a place where we lose our trust in the Father.
We will face all kinds of trouble. We will come up against many problems and hardships, but, does that, in any way, mean that we cannot trust God? Of course not β it means that we have to trust Him even more.
Jesus suffered β massively β and the Enemy attacked Him. All his disciples suffered and they were also subjected to the Enemyβs tactics. Although there is so much unnecessary suffering and so much that the Devil willβ¦

If you were asked βwhat is the most dangerous thing in this worldβ β what would you say?
I am sure that there are a few good answers to that question. Perhaps pride or greed or envy; they are some of the most deadly feelings that underlie all the nonsense that goes on β but where did they come from?
Let me tell you, one of the most deadly things in this world is beauty. It has nearly destroyed our world and we really need to understand that. Do we think that the Enemy is a beast? Well, he has an interesting relationship with beauty. Here is a quote from Ezekiel:

Firstly: We would all like to get rid of the darkness or evil or whatever you want to call it. Get rid of all of it β Put it somewhere else and live a perfect life in a perfect world.
Secondly: We are all already trying to do this in our own lives. We are all trying to choose the right things to do each day. And, when we think about what this task involves, we realise that we are trying to divide our own minds and hearts to remove the evil and also the confusion that causes us all to act badly β along with all the hurt and scars left by all our bad experiences.

We asked:

So, hands up for the good side β I am sure thatβs pretty much everyone. Letβs just see how many still have their hands up by the end of this page.

Like we said, the physical world that we live on is amazing but it doesnβt have life β the life is in us.

Let me just say: when I say world I mean us β the ball of rock we live on and all the physical things that we have made are lifeless β our real world is the hearts and minds of all the people and the invisible ways in which we connect together.
So, in our world, we try our best to decide what we should and shouldnβt do; what is good for us and what isnβt β βusβ being the operative word because our decisions are generally weighted in our own favour; βWhat is good for meβ rather than βwhat is good for everyoneβ or even βwhat is good for him or herβ.

If you divided this planet in two, took all the bad things that exist and that happen, all the evil and darkness, and put them on one side so that the other side was only good β which side would you want to live on?
I guess thatβs a silly question β I am sure that the answer is obvious.
Who would ever choose Hell over Heaven?!
But what would be on the dark side β any people at all? I doubt that anyone would volunteer to go there. Could it even be possible to separate the good from the bad. Nothing is done apart from by people; you certainly couldnβt just put our actions on the dark side and us on the good side β could you?
So how would you do it β shall we try?
We should β but it may be violent process.
If we hadnβt seen so many wrongs
We wouldnβt thirst so much for right
If we hadnβt struggled for so long
Our patience wouldnβt be our might
If our race hadnβt become so fake
There wouldnβt have been so many lies
If we hadnβt made so many mistakes
We wouldnβt have become so wise
If we donβt learn from all our errors
We will never have stand a chance
If we can now see this path is failure
Perhaps we can manage to advance
If still remains when we hold dear

If will only disappear
When we are fully in His Hands
If we want to live with God
There is still much to be done
If we trust what He said
We just have to let Him come

This is the best bit:
I am sure that youβd hope it would be; most of what weβve mentioned so far has been about the difficulties we currently face and the suffering that is down every street. Well, guess what: Itβs not over. In fact it hasnβt even started yet. This messed up place that we have made has simply become the womb that will birth a perfect life for all who want to accept it. Of course, there is still evil and causes of evil to deal with; we have talked enough about that β that is in hand.
All these problems we see are the result of the behavioural issues of every person who has ever lived. We are just like a child who has wandered off from his dad and has lost sight of him, or rather, a child who was not paying attentionβ¦

What is going to happen to all this evil?
Like we said, there are (at least) two sides to this thing:
We have already said that we are causing problems in this world and we have also said that God is actively working to fix things; fix us.
Some of the weight felt in this life is down to the consequences of our actions and some is down to Godβs hand making the changes that He needs to make; changes that are for our benefit.
We have already said that God gave life to us and that we took that life and ran off it. That is what happened and look where we are now; without Him things will not work. In running off with life and living it in exactly the way we feel like, we have given birth to so much evil. That evil mustβ¦

How much of this heavy life is our fault β and how much is Godβs work?
A large part of it is down to the way we treat each other β we cause endless unnecessary suffering. For sure, so much of the burden we feel is our own fault. We are pulling against each other rather than working together; we are all, at least a bit, selfish. Going in different directions is easy because you can do what you feel like. Coming together is much harder (in our current state) because we will have to give up some of our independence.
We could certainly make our lives easier by learning to work together; conquering our feelings and doing what is right.
That said, we will not get rid of all the pressure we feel now because some of that is Godβs hand working to change us. Inβ¦

So, PaulΒ said that creation has been subjected to frustration in order to set free the children of God. Set us free from the addiction to the things that destroy us and bring us into a new life. That is a pretty deep statement but as we said yesterday, how do you think that God would help us to get out of this mess?
Letβs look at two aspects of the reason for this βheavy lifeβ that we are living. These two aspects are quite different and also very clearly connected. The first is that we do wrong, we do things that hurt each other, things that make our lives and other peopleβs lives difficult, sometimes horrible. The second is that God is and has always been helping us to see right from wrong.
The first point is easy to see; we do wrong and everybody knows thatβ¦

There are certainly many sides to the explanation for the problems we have. For a start there is now over seven billion of us, all affecting each other in so many ways; we are subject to a whole load of confused feelings and emotions that constantly lead us astray. There is also the legacy we have received from previous generations; no one has ever got things right. Then there is God, how do you fit Him into this picture; if you even think that He exists.

Once, life was spotless; a long time ago

Somehow, someone tricked us into thinking

There are huge mountains of greed everywhere
Pride heaped up to the sky
Filthy piles of Lust in every corner
Rotting jealousy ruining this beautiful planet
And all these constantly added to
By our so many, very confused, actions
Who could deal with all that; surely it is a mammoth task
But there is One; only One, Removal Man
One Disposal Expert; One Salvage Team
One Person that can deal with all this rubble

On the journey that we are on, being transformed back into the image of God, there is another aspect that we can mention: In the first place, mankind ran away from God and away from relationship with Him; away from good behaviour and away from stable life. Now we are in a place where no one really trusts anyone and it can be pretty hard to know what to do; even when you are in a relationship with the Maker of the universe.
We were free, in the beginning, to leave God and we are free now to return to Him. Freewill was given to us in the start and we still have it now; we can do whatever we want!

What does that mean? Doesnβt every Christian always say βwe can never be perfect β not yet anywayβ
So, how can flawed people βbe perfectβ now?
Here are a couple of thoughts:
1. God is perfect in nature. i.e. He has no wrong in Him and no reason to do anything wrong. Nothing to gain or lose, nothing to fear and nothing to hide. So, thatβs great for Him, but luckily for us He is our Father and does not want to leave is in this mess. He has promised to fill us with some of His Perfect Spirit which, when received, will mesh with our spirit, talk to us and help us to move in the right direction. If you havenβt done that yet; got that Spirit, then just ask, itβs free.

Jesus is not a lie, friend.
Why should we follow Jesus?
Who is He that I should worry about Him?!
You can lead a man to water
But you cannot make him walk on it
So, just how do you get a faith?
It comes to different people in different ways (we are a differing bunch):
All roads do not lead to God but God will come down any road to meet you
Let me just repeat something that my friend said yesterday:
βI dare you to put your trust in Jesus β I DARE YOUβ
I have and He changed my life
Once you do you will see just how incredibly Real He Is
Tell me about this trek that we are on
Where we have caused so much damage
And become so scarred
Travelling through time; whatever time is
Although itβs surely just the fact that we continue to exist
And that we are able to move
Which is itself only a neutral aspect of life
But how is it that we can move in good and also bad directions
That must be another dimension outside of time
Time doesnβt tell you what is wrong
It is only part of the arena
In which good and bad are played out
They say that with your life
You βwrite a storyβ or βpaint a pictureβ
We are certainly painting a picture
But time is not the canvass or the paint or the artist
It is merely the fact that we are able to move the brush
There is another question, a much more importantβ¦

I have some time on my hands
So I starving my tiredness
Hopefully to death
But heβs a resilient beast
On his varied diet
He seems to have adapted
To feed on all kinds of things
Including sleep; so just be careful
He tricked me into lying-in too long
And it just made him stronger
What a crafty animal
I have discovered
That he feeds on rest
More than on work or play
He thinks heβs so clever
Television; he drinks it in
His brain-take power-shake
But exercise kills him
A silver bullet
Heβd do anything to stop it
So watch out tiredness
Your days are numbered
Maybe I will beat you into a coma
With my tennis racket
So, let us discuss all of these crazy feelings
Theyβre causing us problems and pain to the ceiling
We have to stop doing things that are wrong
That is what Jesus has said all along!
Lust is a problem destroying so many
Fixation on bodies, to countless, is deadly
Prostitution and slavery are part of this song
That is what Jesus has said all along!
Greed is so terrible who could imagine
Weβre feeding a monster thatβs eating our children
Starvation and murder; thereβs no word too strong
That is what Jesus has said all along!
Money has got us all tied up together
So many people doing things that donβt matter
We should be helping each other along
That is what Jesus has said all along!
Our pride and our vanity they must be broken
Look at our mess; consequences have spoken
Weβre trapped by our feelings; itβs beenβ¦

Cutting corners and making life easy
Making our music and movies so sleazy
Taking risks with our lives with a grin
These are a few of our favourite things!
Cursing and swearing and telling rude stories
Being selfish and hogging the glory
Chasing riches and the problems it brings
These are a few of our favourite things!
Smoking and drinking; ruining lungs & livers
Doing our hair and staring in our mirrors
Doing what we want; forgetting everything
These are a few of our favourite things!
Hardcore pornos and strip clubs and βladβsβ books
Half-naked women every-where you look
Lots of sex attached with no strings
These are a few of our favourite things!
Shopping on credit and filling our houses
With so many shoes and handbags and nice trousers
Buying so much that it should make us cringe
These are a few of our favorite things!

Darkness, darkness, everywhere
In shadow and in light
Tell me friend, who can be spared
Without the gift of sight
How will we see the Way to flee
Before we are consumed
Now weβre settled with our eyes
Adapted to the gloom
The men have gone and sold their minds
To every evil vice
Instead of getting life aligned
Theyβd rather roll the dice
The women pander to the men
Insecurity must be stilled
Get the attention that is craved
So that they feel fulfilled
The young are given space to lose
Their lives before they start
The adults seeking wealth
Have sold the future raceβs heart
Darkness, darkness, welcomed in
By all who crave this world
Why do we love to do such things
That clearly leave us doomed
