Beware of the counter 'why'

Beware of the counter 'whys'



 Dan.11.32 - Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits

For every original there's a counterfeit, be warned!  They are the voices that question the purpose of God in our lives.  The voice of disobedience,  confusion,  unbelief,  fear, impossibility, lack, weakness, procrastination and the likes. Right from the beginning the devil has been contending with man, wanting to take over and control our imagination and decisions. He's been working among us through subtity. He subtily manipulated the commands of God to Adam until he sinned against God. He has never stopped deceiving humanity.  The Creator, made all things for His good pleasure. He works within us to fulfill His good will. So, the LORD has a purpose and plan for us all,  just as the wicked does too. 

John.10.10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

There are always two influences on the thoughts and decisions of man. One is the original voice of purpose while the others are basically to steal,  kill and destroy. Unfortunately,  the voices of the counter 'whys' seem always louder than the actual 'why'. God is working His purpose out within as many whose life has been covenanted to Him.  But when you knowingly or unknowingly pledge your destiny to the devil, having succumbed to his deciets, he becomes your master and lord and so control your life, thoughts and destiny. This is why so many destinies end miserably and shattered. This is why everyone who wants to fulfill purpose prays and surrenders to Jesus Christ for enablements over the deceptive power of the wicked who brought about the counter why.

In these last days the deceiving spirits are all over the earth and are becoming the most sought after.  Men with itching ears believe their lies than striving or waiting upon the Lord for answers to their 'whys'. Many people have taken the easy way out because they think they have waited too long. If the days were not shortened even the very elects would be deceived Matt. 24:22.  If anyone thinks he stands,  take heed lest you fall. The devil has no regards for status or title, therefore,  watch and pray. The real answer to all your 'whys' still comes from the Almighty,  don't allow the counter 'whys' from the evil one derail you from purpose.  


Readings. Gen. 3:1-15; Dan. 11: 30-39; 1 Tim. 4:1-16; 2 Tim 3:1-5


Prayers

Lord,  give me grace and strength to withstand the challenges of the wicked one against your will and purpose for my life. I rebuke every manipulating spirit sent out to confuse me, or render me distracted in Jesus Christ’s name.  Amen
