"Wrestling With Satan"

Hello, my dear friends,

         I learned  what wrestling was like in the days of the apostles. I read that it's not like the planned wrestling of today. Two guys would go into the arena, naked., The wrestlers would fight till someone died. Then the winner, would desecrate the dead body. He would poke out the eyes,  pull out the tongue, take off the persons genitals and stuff it in his mouth. Then to top that , he would cut open the abdominal cavity,
 making fun of the looser. Leaving the dead person. To be fully humiliated.

This is what we need to keep in mind as we read in Galatians six, that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against all the powers in the heavenly realm. This is what Satan wants to do with you and me.  When we read that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, the bible is serious. We are on his hit list.

  We hear the words,  Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy,  so often, that we do not take it to heart.

I want to leave you with this. Isn't God wonderful, he does not leave us at the mercy of the devil. Jesus was manifested so that the works of Satan, would  be destroyed.
The word of God says, greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world. And no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and last of all, The weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but mighty....

We serve a powerful God!!!!!     

May God fill you with his strength, wisdom and power!!
