Greater – Not Equal!

 
 
 
Remember the old movie from the 1950’s titled “The Invisible Man”?
In order to be seen the invisible man would put on a long trench coat, wear gloves and wrap his face in bandages looking somewhat like a mummy.
The real problem for others was when he wasn’t able to be seen. He could create havoc or harm wherever and whenever he chose, all the while remaining undetected.
 Our adversary, the devil takes that tact sometimes.
He has convinced many, perhaps even most, that he does not really exist
except in the over-active imagination of some.
He’ll allow that ‘evil’ exists but it is only as a result of mans’ inhumanity to man.
This allows him the cover of anonymity to continue his destruction.
It also allows him to ridicule and mock those who do believe the Truth of the Bible and of his existence.
It is an effective strategy against most of humanity but it is still a lie.
We know, without a doubt, from scripture that he does exist and that his plan was, and continues to be, to rob steal and destroy.
But, as we have said before, he is not God’s ‘equal’ opposite.
He has an ending in the Lake of Fire which was created for him.
This may be his ‘heyday’ but his end is coming.
Don’t be deceived by buying into the ‘imaginary’ devil.
But be encouraged that God’s power to work in your life is greater!
