I know of whom you speak. I have seen him, met him, seen his deeds and I am intent on defeating him.
He only shows himself to those that resist him with the truth of Christ. It is therefor not surprising that many that are not born again in Christ have no knowledge of him, other than hearsay, and so his hand writing is no more discernible to them than the Lord’s.
The “Lord of this World”, wants polarization, right and left, as a means of providing a “Wide is the way to Hell”.
There is a doctrine of darkness that is aptly described as the “Radical Center”, found through both right and left paths, that is showing itself in the ideology of the recent violent shootings.
There are violent supporters on both ends of the spectrum. Both are trying to reach the brass ring of control.
I am a conservative, but on of the present political ilk. My conservatism is scriptural in that on a personal level, I try to do all things in moderation...eating, drinking...etc.
I am a liberal, but in a scriptural sense. I don’t believe government has any business in taking care of the poor, widow, and the stranger. That is my job as one that “Loves his neighbor as myself”, therefor, I am liberal with my own goods that the Lord has blessed me with, for, freely I have been given and freely I give.
There is only one then that controls me, that being the love that is of God. It is a self-control with a foundation that begins with the fear of God and not of this world.
Lucifer would have you fear everything in this world and the flesh is hard put to not respond for the sake of self-preservation.
It is the hope that makes not ashamed through a promise of a new creation without corruption that provides the courage to resist the author of confusion unto eternal life.
Yes, I to have meet him at various and sundry times and in many disguises.
God bless.
