Today, become a “Whole” believer, integrate the light and the dark by accepting and being aware that there is a never-ending war between God and Satan, and the trophy is your soul. God calls us to renew our mind, not destroy it, but your mind is where the battle wages. This confusion attacks every sphere…your brain chemistry, your emotions and personality, your relationships with others, with Satan’s primary goal being to disrupt our relationship with God. His strategy is to create constant confusion and distraction in your mind. Satan not only wants your attention, he wants your soul, your family, your job, your relationships. However, we need to know and believe that Satan’s primary mission now for existing is to thwart God’s plan by separating us from Christ.īe clear, each day, especially for believers and followers of Christ, we are embroiled in diabolical spiritual warfare. I bristle at even having to write about him. We must believe that Satan, the Prince of Darkness, is as real as Jesus. But to be a “Whole” believer we need to accept the dark side as well. The promise of salvation, the grace and mercy of our Father, the power of forgiveness are just a few of the “light” elements. As a believer myself, I spend most of my spiritual energy on the “light” side of things. There are two sides to being a believer one of light and one of darkness. Like an Oreo, black and white need to be seen together to see the whole picture, because nothing exists that doesn’t nave an upside and a downside to it. One developmental milestone we all need to master is the ability to integrate good and bad in the same entity. Both sides will use those “always” and “never” words and make everything so extreme. With political elections coming up, the same black and white thinking is everywhere. The popular girl would never go out with you because you weren’t cool. Rock-n-Roll was the only music worth listening to. Pink was a girl color I would never wear. Money was the answer to having a successful life. Parents were always an obstacle to my pursuing the good life. Authority was always corrupt or out of touch. ![]() I remember life as a teenager, everything seemed so simple.
