Untangling

Sometimes you walk alone in the mornings.
The air…Gray, humid, suspicious
Apartment buildings and weed filled grass
Lonely, dangerous in a quiet way
There might be a startling visitor, a slowing car
ready to snatch, a man hiding behind a corner or a bush…

You walk across damaged cement
Dew strangling your bravery
You have a curious strain of fear, for some reason
What could be a lovely stroll transforms into a timid walk, anxiety saturated
You know there’s something wrong with this scene…possibly this whole earth.

What should be is not how it is.

You want to walk in confidence but, you are hindered by an unknown feeling, a presence…
Possibly evil….You are fearful of the dark things in this world.
It may seem like intuition. But what if those warnings are from elsewhere…

What if the moments you are overwhelmed with fear, with worry…what if they had a source…

What if it is an unseen presence? What if it is the presence of all that is evil, of Satan?

Scaring away your joy with dark fear and anxiety.

You know there is something going on in this world.
You hear the fear crying from your friends, the baby in the dumpster, the rape victim sitting in the hospital….

There is some absolute evil in this world…

It surrounds you, comes from you, enhances everything wrong in existence…

You feel it on those fearful walks….you expect bad things to happen.

Why is that? Why does evil even exist?

You might just take a look back on your actions…

People get mad at God for bad things happening, but have you ever acted in a manner that hurt someone?

Have you been absolutely good all the time?

We cannot blame God for this tainted world.
We must examine ourselves and be careful with our surroundings. We must verbally rid Satan from our thoughts with hte help of Jesus. If he becomes close to you, he can help you with your weaknesses and tendency for sin. When Jesus is with us, when the holy spirit is with us, we have a greater power to fight sin.

That does not mean we will easily stay away from doing evil things. We must always be alert…

If we are not careful, we might just find that Satan is closer than we think.

This below comes from a blog called Jesus is da Rock

“Through Christ we’ve got

Satan under our feet.

Don’t play with God and let that serpent slip out from under you.

Remember, he ain’t playin!!!

He came to kill, steal and destroy;

But Christ came that you might have life,

and that you might have it more abundantly.”
