The author and finisher

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God" (‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ KJV). The devil can only get a hold of us if we let him. There is one thing satan loves to do, that is to deceive us. If we let him lead us astray from the power of God, then he will come in like a flood and disturb us. His job is to lure us away from the Truth of God and blind us from the light of Christ. King Saul was anointed by the Spirit of God, but fear and selfishness took that anointing away. He allowed his flesh to overcome him, which caused him to become rebellious and disobedient to our Lord. This man died a miserable death, being tormented by evil spirits. However, deep inside his heart I believe it reminded him of the truth, which he could not get too. Samson, another powerful man of God, allowed lust to deceive him, only to abandon the anointing given by God. God will call us all to do His work, and in that call He will prepare each one of us to carry it out, if we are willing to do so. Solomon, the mighty king of wisdom, failed in his journey. Wisdom could not save this man, for he abandoned the altar of God and was also deceived by lust. He gave himself over to strange flesh, which in return turned his heart away from Almighty God. Satan only wants us to turn from the Truth, the Word of God, and to be lost forever. However, Jesus has conquered the world, along with Satan and his dark power. Look to Christ Jesus with all of your heart. God bless you. Amen
