James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. 20 For the wrath of man works not righteousness of God.
The way to avoid the middleman role is for us to be fully aligned and surrendered to God’s revealed will. For instance, when God teaches us to forgive others, if we accept His instructions with a willing mind, the likelihood of any satanic views on this matter, being in sync with ours goes way down, and as a result, he knows that he must look for a different candidate.
[Patriarch & Prophets pp 56] An expression of sadness came over the face of Adam. He appeared astonished and alarmed. To the words of Eve he replied that this must be the foe against whom they had been warned; and by the divine sentence she must die. In answer she urged him to eat, repeating the words of the serpent, that they should not surely die. She reasoned that this must be true, for she felt no evidence of God's displeasure, but on the contrary realized a delicious, exhilarating influence, thrilling every faculty with new life, such, she imagined, as inspired the heavenly messengers.
Also, a good practice for us is to first pass every idea and suggestion, brought to us, through the word of God before we speak. In that way the scriptures can become a sort of check valve, to siphon out every sentiment that does not pass the gold standard. This is not merely a good suggestion; it is an instruction coming from The God of heaven.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
