SATAN’S TRUMP CARD, APPETITE.!!!
My friends I want to take you inside a board room today, to a special called meeting. The CEO, and god of this world, Satan himself, and all of his elite forces are in attendance, and there is only one item on the agenda YOU.
One of God’s chosen, a Child of the King, an elite in the army on the other side of the conflict, the ARMY OF THE LORD. One of Satan’s elite starts the meeting with a power point presentation. He shows that his regiment of forces has tried everything to get you to change your allegiance in this great controversy.
Everything from ADULTERY, LYING, BUYING BOOTLEG DVD’S, HOMOSEXUALITY, TIME WASTED IN FRONT OF THE TV in fact all of the “SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE SINS” we have tempted him on, but with no success. Satan stands, cohorts I need some suggestions even if we can’t recruit him into our army, how can we render him, or her inoperable before the final battle.
We do not want them on the front line winning souls for Christ, time is short, and no prisoners are allowed to be taken. A hand is raised from the back one of the elite who has been following you from birth. Satan why don’t we try your original tactic which still has them falling even after six thousand years and that is YOUR TRUMP CARD, APPETITE.
My friends you finish the scenario. But I need you to focus on, How do you as God’s chosen conquer the indulgence of SATAN’S TRUMP CARD, APPETITE, because once most of us have conquered APPETITE, we will then have the moral power through God’s Spirit to finish this journey that God has placed us on, because if we do not recognize the sin of SATAN’S TRUMP CARD, APPETITE, then we begin to loose the victory over other temptations and sins that Satan attack us on.
Remember those who remain slaves to appetite will forever fail, in perfecting Christian character that prepares us for God’s kingdom. So as we near the close of life’s history, Satan’s temptation of the flesh, and the passion of improper eating habits, will be more powerful and more difficult to overcome.
But Satan can only attack our weaknesses and infirmities when we allow the affairs of this world to outweigh our relationship with God and the amount of time we spend each day in studying His word and doing His will. Remember Christ was also tempted in appetite, But His words to Satan are one’s we as Christians should all use in our war on APPETITE “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (and not just the words we deem appropriate for our lifestyle) but every word of God.”
While allowing the power of His word to dictate our appetite through His Holy Spirit. Yes my friends SATANS TRUMP CARD, for most of us is APPETITE, because we have won the battle over everything else but we really don’t see the problem with APPETITE because you know you have to eat, but Our eating habits should always and forever, be regulated from a moral and religious standpoint, that is based on Christ example.
So we are to be temperate in all things, Paul states in 1 Cor. 10:31 “Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ”Providence has been leading the people of God out from the extravagant habits of the world, away from the indulgence of appetite and passion, to take their stand upon the platform of self-denial, and temperance in all things.
The people whom God is leading will be peculiar. They will not be like the world. If they follow the leading of God, they will accomplish His purposes, and will yield their will to His will.” (E.G. White Councils on diets and foods) And the temple of God will remain holy.
My friends our goal is to finish this journey, and not allow Satan to stop our progress in spreading the good news of Christ soon return because if we allow appetite to Rule our mind and body then the final result will be the disintegration of the spiritual part of what God intended for us from the beginning.
One of the strongest temptations that we will ever have to face is probably upon the point of appetite. So let’s all be “conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,” Can make me fall at the threshold of the New Jerusalem
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
