A disreputable witness scorns justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

Proverbs 19: 28

Everyone is a witness: either of God or the devil. Those who learn with The Lord speak His Words, and they live under ITS protection and for that reason they are always content and they can overcome all of the enemy’s assaults against their lives. Now, the witnesses of the devil see no point in crying out for the blessings of The Most High. Not only they despise what is written in The Scripture and their ownership as they also scorn what had been bought for them at a high cost.

Those who serve Satan may either be humble people or brilliant scholars since it is not their background that accounts for their spiritual profile, but the spirit of deceit. In that case interceding for those lives and, with the divine wisdom preach the message of The Gospel is the best thing we can do.

The witness of Belial is all the time swallowing iniquity and that is the reason why their soul – possessed by the powers of darkness – cannot see anything wrong in dishonouring their own body, in performing acts contrary to nature and getting involved with all wrongdoing. Thus, they shape their character in line with the influence of the perpetrator of all evil, the devil, and even when they strive to do well they end up tripping over in his traps.

The thirst for evil of those who serve the enemy is unquenchable. On account of that everything he plots, and then puts into practice to devastate mankind, has in his witnesses a sign of welcome. They love saying again and again scornful words; telling fresh lewd jokes; pointing out other people’s errors and giving a push for the downfall of an innocent man. Because of the spirit that dominates them they cannot do good deeds. That state will make them embrace hellish flames which will cause them eternal suffering.

Now those who give witness of Jesus live their lives to do what is right. They are always connected to The Heavens and whenever they see any evil work causing harm to someone they begin interceding for that life. The witnesses of Jesus are like salt to the world considering that, because of them and of what they preach, people do not get completely lost.

The servants of Jesus are the pleasure of The Lord and they have a hunger of doing good deeds, and that causes admiration even in those who are against The Gospel. Precisely for that reason they strive in such a way that, whenever they need, they even get to the point of denying some pleasure to themselves.

On the Great Day, the angels of God will go to the four corners of the earth to gather mankind in two groups. One of them will be made up of the witnesses of Jesus and they will stand at His right side; yet, the witnesses of the enemy will stand at His left side. To the first group He will say: “Come, blessed of my Father, inherit The Kingdom which has been prepared for you since the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25: 34 b). Yet, to the other group Christ will say the following: “Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25: 41 b). Which group will you be in?

In Christ, with love,
