Don't Believe Satan's Voice

When we look at this world we live in, we could see that evilness, that wickedness, that ungodliness is so ever-present in this world. Why? Because Satan rules over this world. That's why, in the world, there is destruction, killing, bloodshed, division, evil.

That's what you see in the world. Pure evil. Because Satan rules over it.

The evil one. Now the first thing Satan did, he made Adam and Eve both fall. And he said to the woman, has God indeed said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Genesis 3.1. Satan came to the woman and whispered in her ear, he said, did really God say you don't eat from any tree in the garden? God didn't say you do not eat from all the trees.

God said do not eat from one particular tree, which is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But Satan is known to falsify the truth, twist it and do it in a way that is contradictive to what God is truly saying. And God said to Adam, the day you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, surely you shall die.

Satan came and said, you will not die, trust me. God said you will die. Satan said, no you will not die, trust me.

In fact, if you eat from that tree Adam, you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Just like God knows everything, good and evil. You will become like God.

Eat, you're not going to die. What a liar. What a liar.

And look at the world. Biggest lie. People lie to each other.

Act toward one another. Because that's the fruits of Satan. Very vividly clear and seen in the world.

Now who among us, my beloved, when Satan whispers in our ear, we do not listen to him and do it, do what he whispers in our ear. We do it accordingly and at the end we regret it. All of us have fallen into that trap of Satan, where he comes, whispers in that ear like he did with our mother Eve.

This whisper that says to you, go and do this, go over there, meet that guy, take that powder, go and gamble, go and drink, go with this woman and that woman and every woman and every guy and make yourself it instead of he or she. Go and do whatever you want to do. That's the whisper of Satan.

And haven't we all fallen into this whisper? Oh yes. Oh yes my beloved. We do have a lot of regrets every now and then.

I wish I had not said this. I wish I had not done this. I wish I had not gone over there.

I wish I had not mixed with these people. I wish, I wish, so many regrets. But stop listening to Satan's whisper.

Stop. Every single person in humanity, I'm not talking about Christians only, every single person in humanity has been targeted and marked by Satan. Every single one has been targeted and marked by Satan and influenced by his counsel and influenced by his counsel.

However, Satan came to one called Jesus Christ of Nazareth and tried to give counsel to Jesus and he ended up leaving in a big failure. He failed miserably. The Lord Jesus put Satan to shame.

Satan was shocked for the first time in his entire life. A human being in the flesh, a human being puts me to shame. I overcame all people.

Who is this Jesus that put me to shame? You see, Satan fought with Adam and Eve with food. He also fought with the Lord Jesus with food. He said to the Lord, if you are the son of God, say to these stones to be bread.

Just like he fought with Adam and Eve with food, eat from this tree. So as he did the same thing with Jesus Christ of Nazareth, if you are the son of God, say to these stones to be bread. The Lord Jesus replied and said, it is not by bread alone a man shall live, but by every word that is uttered from the mouth of God.

Could not win, could not win. He fought the Lord with glory. He said to the Lord, he took him up to the pinnacle of the temple, to the edge of the temple.

He said, throw yourself from here. And because it's written that God will charge of his angels to come and carry you, lest your foot, you know, dashes against the stone and you will be glorified before all people. Glory.

The Lord Jesus said, do not tempt the Lord your God. Don't put him to the test. And then he fought the Lord Jesus with ownership.

He took him on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said, if you bow down and worship me, I'll give you this kingdom. I'll make you a king.

Ownership. He said to him, away with you Satan. It is written that you serve the Lord your God and you worship him alone.

You worship God and you serve him alone. Away with you Satan. What the Lord Jesus was saying that I do not seek ownership, neither from you Satan, nor from any man.

I seek it from God alone. I seek it from God alone, my beloved. Alone.

So the Lord Jesus, in all the trials that he was put through, he came out triumphant. Satan could not win with Jesus, the man. He could not win with him.

No matter what he tried to do, he could not win with the Lord Jesus. So the Lord came out triumphant. Also I can say to all of us, the Lord Jesus sent a very comforting promise.

What did he say? In John chapter 14 verse 30. For the ruler of this world, who is Satan, for the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in me. So the ruler of this world is coming, who is Satan, and he can't find any error in me.

Not one mistake. He tried every way possible to make me fall and I always put him to shame. For the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in me.

John 14 verse 30. Now can we claim the same statement as the Lord Jesus said, the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in me? Can I say that? No. Only Jesus was able to say it as the perfect man.

Only Jesus, my beloved. We are unfaithful, but Jesus Christ of Nazareth, all glory to his holy and mighty name, is always faithful, is always faithful. Then if he is the only one who is faithful, if he is the only one who was able to overcome Satan, then what about us? What do we do now? The Lord Jesus says, don't worry, I will give you myself.

You can't overcome Satan, but I will give you myself so that through me you can overcome Satan. Without me you cannot do anything. John 15 verse 5. Without me, says the Lord, you cannot do anything.

Without me Satan will devour you. Without me you will be lost. Without me you will be dead 100%.

My son, my daughter, don't ever let any whisper come and brainwash you and say, look this is easy, I can do it myself. The smallest of the smallest of the smallest things, you better pray and ask the Lord to be with you in it. In small things and big things, in all things, you must ask the Lord to be with you.

Otherwise, forget it my beloved child. Forget it. You cannot do it.

So the Lord says, I will give you myself, don't worry. You will receive me fully. You will receive me fully.

The Lord says to us, you have a spirit in you. My spirit will dwell in you. There is a soul in you.

You are a soul. I Jesus Christ will give you my soul and my soul I give to you through the blood because the soul lies in the blood. That's why he gave us his blood.

He gave us his soul because my spirit became corrupt. He gave me his holy spirit, the incorruptible. My soul became also corrupt.

He gave me his pure soul and then he said, you have a body. I will give you my body. Here take, eat my body and drink my blood.

He who eats my body and drink my blood lives in me and I in him. So I'll give you all of me in order to overcome Satan because the only person, the only man that stepped and crushed the head of the snake, the serpent Satan was Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Every other man failed and fell into sin including all prophets, all holy men, all patriarchs, doesn't matter who that person was.

Satan overcame all except one, Jesus of Nazareth. Amen. And the Lord says in you there is a thought.

However this thought became perverted. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Philippians 2.5, Saint Paul says. Let this mind be in you as it was also in Christ Jesus.

Your thought, your mind became corrupt. Christ gave us his mind and how did he give us his mind? He gave us his word, the holy bible. Who hasn't read it yet? Who hasn't opened the holy bible yet? Who hasn't opened this book yet? My beloved, the moment you read the holy bible, you are receiving the mind and the thought of Christ.

That is the only way. How does your mind get shaped by what you hear? How are you influenced by what you hear my beloved? If you allow the world to infiltrate you and give you the knowledge of the world, you will become worldly. Because whatever you hear and whatever you receive and accept, that's what you're going to become.

And that's what you will end up doing. You hear a foul word, before you know it, you will start speaking foul words. But you hear a holy word, before you know it, you will start praising the almighty God.

He will give us his mind through his word which is the holy bible. He said I'll give you my word, think and contemplate, contemplate on this word in order to be transformed and be renewed by your mind. Romans chapter 12.

Do not be conformed to the world but rather transformed by the renewing of your mind. How do you stop being worldly? By being transformed. And how will I be transformed and become different to the world when my mind is renewed? And how is the mind renewed through the word of God? The holy bible.

You want to change? You want to give up on addictions? Trench yourself with the word. Swim in it. Drink it.

Breathe it. Let it be your spiritual food. You will change.

Because the word changes the mind. And in this, the first quality of the man is given to us fully. The first quality of the man is given to us fully.

And this first quality is, what did we say? He did not what? Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. You want to avoid satan, his temptations, his attacks? Hold on to the word of the Lord. Second quality.

Second quality, nor stands in the path of sinners. Nor stands in the path of sinners. That is the second quality of the man who is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

This particular statement here or verse is misunderstood sometimes. Nor stands in the path of sinners. Now how is it misunderstood? You see my beloved, some think that when he sees, when the Lord Jesus sees sinners, he walks away.

Because he did not stand in the sinner's path. So the moment he saw sinners, he turned, he veered off and walked away from them. No.

This verse means, he did not stand in the way of sinners. In other words, he was never an obstacle in the sinner's way. He was never an obstacle in the sinner's way.

Let me elaborate more. With us, when it comes to us my beloved, you know when we know a certain person and then we hear this person has done something wrong. And a lot of people heard that this person has done something wrong.

So what do we do? We walk away from that person. Why? Because we don't want to be associated with him anymore, lest people start talking bad about us. So the moment we hear that they've done something wrong, we avoid them and we walk away from them.

Yet the ones who walked away from that sinner are as sinners as that person. So sinners walk away from sinners. Yet the holy of holies, the blameless, the perfect man and the perfect God came and embraced sinners, never walked away from them.

The perfect man who is the man, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the holy of holies, did not stand in the way of the sinners. He was never an obstacle in their way or to them. But rather he said it very clearly.

The Lord Jesus said, I have not come to call righteous but sinners to repentance. I came exactly for the sinners, exactly for the sinners. My beloved, in Luke 15, when we read in Luke chapter 15 verses 1 to 2, it says the following, that all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to him, meaning Jesus, to hear him.

And the Pharisees and scribes complained saying, this man receives sinners and eats with them. So the scribes and the Pharisees approached the apostles of the Lord Jesus and they said, how come your teacher is going into sinners homes and eating with them? You're claiming that your teacher is holy. He is sent from God, from above he came down.

How can he mix with sinners and eat with them? So in a way they were trying to put the blame on the apostles. Why are you still walking with this man who is associating himself with sinners and eating with them? Now, what do you think my beloved, if I ask you this question, does the Lord Jesus enters sinners homes and eats with them? What do you think? Does the Lord Jesus enters sinners homes and eats with them? Yes. It's very obvious, isn't it? Come on, does he enter sinners homes and eats with them? Absolutely not.

I disagree. The Lord Jesus does not enter the homes of the sinners and eats with them. The Lord Jesus, however, he asks sinners to let him into their home.

He does not enter, but he awaits for the sinners to let him in. There is a difference. If he himself enters, that means he likes the company.

The Lord Jesus loves the sinners, hates sin. The Lord Jesus loves the sinners, but hates sin. He can never enter willingly into a sinner's house, because that means, since he entered willingly, that means he enjoys their sinful life.

Never ever the Lord will accept sin, but he came for the sinner. That's why he will not come in, but he will do everything in his power to let you open the door and allow him to come in. He wants the call to come from you, not from him.

He wants you to open the door. Also, the Lord Jesus did not eat with them, as the tax collectors and the Pharisees said to the apostles in Luke 15 verses 1 to 2. He did not eat with them. Actually, the Lord gave them himself to eat.

He fed them. He did not go and eat with them. He came to feed them.

So the Lord, my beloved, says I don't enter sinner's homes. I am waiting for them to let me in. Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with me. Revelation 3 20. He's standing at the door and knocking.

You need to open the door. If you open, he will enter and he will dine, meaning he will have dinner. It is night time, my beloved.

Dinner is served at night and night, biblically speaking, is sinful life. So the Lord will enter in your sinful life and he will eat with you and you with him. The question is, what will the Lord eat from your plate and what will you eat from his plate? He will enter to do what? He's entering your sinful life.

So what is he going to eat? All of your sins, jealousy, envy, bigotry, hatred, pride, anger, you name it. He will eat from your plate and your plate is full of sin and then he will allow you to eat from his plate and his plate is all holiness, all salvation. So in fact, the Lord did not enter the sinner's home but rather waited for them to allow him to enter and when he entered, he did not eat.

He gave them himself to eat because unless you eat the body and drink the blood of the son of man, you have no life in you.
