A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished. Proverbs 22:3

If God never warned us of the devils plans to ensnare us, He would be to blame for our failures because by His being Omniscient – the Lord knows everything behind the lies, the offers and deceptions from Hell.  That is why it is wise and good to always read and meditate on the Word, focusing on the attractive and apparently good because in many cases, they can be traps or snares to imprison, to chain or to tie us in the enemy’s hands.

The wise are astute and not given to capitulate to the malignant and his plots, even if their attitude upsets others and family who are not with the Word and do not have God in heart and mind. The saved and wise know how to be strong in what is the good will of God for them and their families.  Resisting is one of the good ways to guard our hearts in liberty that only Christ can give us. Seek heavenly counsel and guidance in all things concerning you and your family lives.  The Almighty speaks!

The very worst that can happen to someone is to not pay attention to God’s Words. By not considering His warnings and paying Him no attention, one falls easily into temptation. In salvation, God put us up on our feet, armed and ready to claim our rights and we must not relinquish this. Once you have understood in the Bible what God wants for you and what you must do to be successful, do not retreat!

Once you fall for the enemy’s lies you become entangled or chained directly to him. So then, to be delivered you must confess your sin to God in order to be forgiven. Jesus taught that if you harmed anyone through your sin, you have only one option: to seek that person, confess everything in order to be forgiven. Of course, in each situation we must receive wisdom from Above to be correct in the proper time.

The sign that you were forgiven comes from the presence of God flooding your being, when a joy invades your soul and you feel entirely free. As of that moment you may and must rise up to live before the Lord. Be careful on confessing your trespasses because without divine wisdom you can harm the person who will hear your confession. If that person does not forgive you, that person will not be forgiven and might be lost forever (Mark 11: 24,25).

Christians that are not in communion with the heavenly Father are equal to the lost. In little time what they won will be consumed by the birds of the skies – the demons. Those who are not in Christ cannot perceive the pitfalls and traps of the devil to imprison them and so full of self-righteousness they are much like those that Jesus spoke about: on being forgiven they met someone who owed them less and strangled them for not paying back (Matthew 8:23-25).

Why suffer punishment if you know that the Lord never slumbers or sleeps and is always ready to help those that seek Him? If you failed a trial which you hoped would never happen to you, know that there was something even more serious in your life and that’s why this terrible thing happened. Show that in fact you love the Almighty and you love yourself. Don’t let the enemy lead you to a larger mistake. You belong to God!

In Christ, with Love,
