What Satan Wants!

Good Morning! Well it may not be morning when you read this but nonetheless. As I type this itis 4:46 a.m. Wednesday morning and I am in College Station, TX. I am reminded this morning and therefore compelled to share about, "What Satan Wants?!" There are two main elements in life that if we don't get control of, they will inevitably take control of us and send us into a cycle that we will find ourselves in week after week, month after month and year after year.

I believe that everyone at some point in their life ask themselves the questions; what was I created for? Why do I exist? Why was I born? I would venture to say that every single human being at one point in their lives internally seeks the answer to that question.

I heard a man ask a question one time that went something like this, " What is the wealthiest place on the Earth?" Immediately, I started doing the same thing you are doing right now, thinking what it could be. I never in a million years would of ever guessed or expected the answer he gave. He said, " the wealthiest place on the Earth is a cemetery because people go to their graves with all of the dreams and purposes they were created for unfinished, unaccomplished and in some cases never even started." He said, "they died with books they never wrote, songs they never sang, business's they never started, buildings they never built"; and so on and so on. I have to admit to you that, that was a rude awakening for me.

I immediately thought to myself, I don't want that to happen to me. So what could I do to prevent that? I have to get self control of " MY TIME and MY ENERGY". You see that is what Satan wants. He wants you to be distracted and busy with things that prevent you from fulfilling the things you were created for. As long as we are unproductive for the Kingdom of God he will allow us to do whatever we want unhindered. Myles Munroe made this statement, "the worst thing that could ever happen to a person is they live there lives successful at the wrong thing". You see sometimes we get excited about doing good things, but if it is not the thing you were created for it is a waste of your time and your energy. I don't know about you but that is very difficult for me to accept.

Recently , I have been releasing a statement that there are two types of frustrated people. The first type of frustrated people, are those who are frustrated with their situation and circumstances but enough to complain about them. The second type are those those who are ready and willing to do something about it. I am apart of the second group. Many times we believe that one day we are going to wake up and its all going to just magically be better, yeah go ahead keep believing that. I don't believe for a minute that God the Father made the investment that He did, giving us dominion over the Earth and the authority to demonstrate its power, so He could do it for us. Sorry I have trouble with that Mentality.

I do believe He intervenes and helps us, but I also believe when he said, "greater works shall YOU do", He did mean YOU! So if this is something you have asked and not yet found the answer the word of God is a good place to start. I can tell you this, It will revolutionize your life and you will find that your TIME and ENERGY will be spent a whole lot different than it is now. I will probably do a part two on this just because I believe there is more to it. May the Blessing of the King be with you.
