2nd Corinthians 2: 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
The mental, physical, and spiritual capabilities we were created with have all deteriorated drastically of the years. And now, folks have become considerably weaker, physically, morally, and mentally, to the point where we cannot control ourselves without Christ. This is an inconvenient truth we will have to confront and be reconciled to, if we are to understand our dire need of Christ.
You may see persons well dressed, apparently very intelligent and they may seem to have it all together but at the opportune moment, when the serpent is ready to strike, all those who are not covered by the blood of Christ will succumb to his deadly sting, and that is what you’re seeing live, in real time currently. This fact about our powerlessness outside of Christ has to be clearly understood, before we proceed.
It is critically important to establish from the Bible, the reasons for the urgency of the moment, which is driving persons into panic mode. Thus, we will have to put it plainly. A human being without Christ has much weaker will power than the devil, and for this reason, if persons have habitually yielded their freedom of choice, by doing his will he can and will dominate that person’s mind, and can literally force them to say, and do evil things, even things they had not originally planned to say or do.
2nd Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
