As was mentioned in the last post, Satan wants to cut you off from God in any way posssible...

And he has a worldful of tools to do so...too many actually...

It can be quite disheartening if you think how many ways Satan can keep you away from your blessings set aside for you by God.

What exactly are the tools that Satan is using...after all, most of us know that he is a deceiver, a trickster, a planter of destructive circumstances...

Being a trickster or deceiver (or whatever) does not really expose the tools he employs to cut you off from God...

I mentioned above that Satan uses a "worldful of tools..."

What are the tools referred here?

Answer: your circumstances in daily life...everyone's daily life...

And on top of that, he uses another tool that actaully belongs to you...your own mind.

Your Mindset Becomes Satan's Tool

Did you ever think for a moment that your thinking can be manipulated to keep you away from God?

(I think you've realized this quite some time ago...yet it needs discussion here)

Your mindset can trigger a series of actions and decisions that can lead you away from God. All Satan needs to do is set the stage for your life to follow a different path...

One Thing Leads To Another

A mindset that is not tuned-in to God can make decisions resulting in inappropriate actions (known as Sin) that will be counterproductive to your personal relationship with God.

Let's take an example...

Say that you are an obsessive gambler; this addiction could have been prevented if your mindset was geared differently...right?

Or, if you are an alcoholic...

Or, if you are a wife-beater...

Let's expand with another example...take a married couple who have recently separated because "they drifted apart."

Granted, some relationships are doomed from the start, but there are others that started with love and deteriorated to end up in separation...

What happened to cause this?

Sometimes you look back after separation, and ask yourself "why did it happen?"

The common response would be: "circumstances in life made us drift apart."

At this point, you can add psychological-sociological-ideological theories to rationalize the reasons behind the separation...

Yet notice that nowadays there is no inclusion of a SPIRITUAL cause behind any breakup...!

It's become a common occurence to exclude a spiritual cause as part of the problem in your life...that Satan IS involved in your personal day-to-day life?

Is is reasonable to think that this evil spirit has manipulated the circumstances, developing a complex series of seemingly natural events in your personal life (money issues, selfish ambition, wanting more than the family can supply...etc), so that your relationship with your spouse ultimately fails because you feel trapped, choked, reaching a dead-end...?

 "But what does my failing marriage have to do with Satan?" you'd might ask. "What's so important about my life to merit Satan's attention?"

You need to realize that YOU are more important than you think!

You Are Important

There's more involved in this seemingly isolated story of a failed marriage...

You are important, and Satan knows this...

You are part of a deeper agenda...

Your failed marriage has more to do with your relationship with God, the lack of it actually...

Satan sets the stage for your disconnection from God by disturbing the balance of your natural life.

He sets the stage to:

1. cause problems to unbalance your life...or:
2. allowing it to be so pleasing that you abandon God as you drown in your own good time.
3. keeping you busy to the point that you set God aside (no time for Him).

As you become so concentrated with your life, your subconscious contact with God is interrupted...

You become essentially cut-off from God.

(For the first time ever, I reveal The Defeat Of Satan, and learn of Satan secret weapons used against you)

Remember that Satan's primary goal is to cut you off from God...

Period.
