War: Satan is at it, God is not

“All Warfare is based on the art of deception.” Sun Tzu: The Art of War. Satan is alive and at war for your heart!!! He will use all the deception that he can find. He views his job as to keep you from gaining access to Heaven, and if he fails that task then he moves right into keeping you from an intimate relationship with the Almighty. How does God see it? John 10:10 says, “A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of,” the Message. The thief, his job is only to still, kill and destroy. All of that is warfare, all of that is based on the art of deception. But, we must remember that there is another side to this issue. Jesus has come not just so we can experience life with the Almighty, but also intimacy with Him as well. Jesus destroyed Satan’s entire purpose all in one act. WOW kinda makes you feel sorry for the sucker doesn’t it? Not really, when you understand that he is always at war with us and for us. When we look at our Spiritual Lives through those lens we will see that even though Satan is at we God is not. Deception isn’t part of His game as He has already won the war, game over, end game, nothing left but to carry home the soldiers. And that is just what we are, we are Christ’s soldiers. Oswald Chambers said, “To say, ‘Of course God is omniscient and knows everything’ has no effect on me. I don't care whether God is ‘omni’ anything. But when I begin to realize that God knows all the deepest possibilities there are in me, knows all the eccentricities of my being, I find the mystery of myself is solved by this besetting God.”
