W rong, wrong, wrong! W hy do you
thin k it has taken you sooo-o-o-o long
to get yourself straight? It is because
you have not perm itted God to take

From an
AFRO-AMERICAN MINISTER
Satan’s fun ction on this earth is to k ill,
to m aim and to destroy. C h rist came
in to the w o rld so that we m ig ht be saved
and that we m ig ht live a more abundant
life . It is C h rist w ho heals the wounded,
mends the broken and cures the sin-
sick-soul. It is he w ho removes the
sting and the fear o f death.In his presence
there can be no e v il in the eyes.
Y ou see Satan uses the weaknesses o f
the flesh to entrap us. E v il knocks at the
doors o f our fra il temples, but i f C hrist
is there, the “ e v il one” w ill certainly
flee.
The longue, a most v ita l part o f the
body, can also destroy the temple. A
wagging tongue that lies, bears false
witness, gossips, hurts another person’ s
feelings, breaks up a home, destroys the
congregation o f the church,alienates a
friendship can also through its e v il tails
prostitute each and every one o f us.
That is, i f we let i t
The e v il sp irit knows that G od is
om nipotent. W hen w ill you recognize
that you cannot conquer Satan w ithout
the pow er o f the H o ly Spirit? ( II Cor.
4:3-4). You cannot stop drinking without
the H o ly S pirit. You cannot stop using
coke and other drugs no matter how
badly you w ant to w ith ou t the H o ly
S pirit. Y o u cannot stop any o f the e v il
w o rld ly desires w ith o u t accepting the
H o ly S pirit.
The H o ly S p irit is the big stick that
you need to use in your battle w ith e vil.
C hristian believers i f you w a lk in the
S p irit you w ill not lust to f u lf ill the
desires o f the flesh.
Yes, you know that G od is the light.
W e ll, don’ t be surprised because Satan,
him self can be transformed into an angel
o f light.
D o n ’ t be deceived. W hen Satan fe ll
from grace in the presence o f G od he
did not fa ll by him self. The scriptures
tell us that Satan was thrown from heaven
onto the earth along w ith his ow n type
o f angel. He acts in concert w ith them
in com petition fo r you r soul. It is o n ly
you w ho can subm it you rself either to
