The Holy Spirit Is Christ Jesus Alive:
This battle is action. This fight is like an exorcism. This is a battle worth
fighting. Humankind can fight but not with hands but with the word of
God because this battle is spiritual, Ephesians 6:12. This conflict does not
fade away overnight. As men are in the physical army, we are soldiers in a
spiritual army. We have a choice who we will follow, and that decision is
Christ Jesus.
Satan hates and is jealous of humanity. We are God’s greatest creation.
Satan is a spirit like God, prince of the air, but he is evil and has a wicked
spirit, and he works in the mind. Satan contends for the first place in our
thoughts, flesh, and lives, Ephesians 6: 10-12.
Christ desires to guide us to heaven and Satan wants to guide us to hell.
Hell, a place where we would burn and be tormented forever, Revelation
20:1-3. In spiritual warfare, we must keep our mind, body, and soul free of
evil and negative thinking. Those bad thoughts are the presence of Satan.
We must think pure thoughts, even though none can understand our minds
but God. God recognizes what we are considering. Sinful thought can lead
to sin. First, sins developments in thought and if dwelled on, they come to
life. Meditate on what is right, pure and with virtue, 1 Corinthians 6:18-
20. We are a temple of God, called to be a royal priesthood. We struggle
to be virtuous in thought and filled with the Holy Spirit of God and to
meditate on scriptures, 1 Peter 2: 9-10.
Hell
The bible says, Hell is a place in which Satan headed, and He made his
bed, and he must sleep in it. He knows what he has done; what he is doing;
he rebelled against God his creator. Therefore, he knows His eternal resting
place, hell. Satan desires to take everybody he can with him to hell. He will
fall forever in the bottomless pit.
God threw Satan out of heaven and he landed on earth with humanity,
Isaiah 14:12-15. God created Satan with power. God created us, in His
image, but without great powers.
