Great answer!
Thanks. As a young man I thought I could bang heads with the devil, and the purity of my thoughts and intentions would carry me through to victory.
We humans search for many things. But is there anything that God searches for? A Preacher by the name of Daniel Morales from Cuba told me one day that, even with His omnipotence, God is searching for three things... worshipers, intercessors and the lost.
I placed myself in the intercessor category. But then he pointed out that it is not the job of an intercessor to fight against the devil. The intercessor stands in view of God and the flock, and blocks the hole in the wall with his body. He acts as a conduit between God and people.
I’ve decided that I’m probably not crafty enough to poker-face the devil... and I don’t need to be. I have a lawyer. :)
