If you believe in God, you must believe Satan or devil is real too. My understanding is God brings good upon His creation and the devil bring evil upon God's creation. The devil was created by God. My Bible tells me the devil was once an angel . Knowing the devil was once an angel terrifies me. This is because He has gotten to experience God's goodness. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to be the only one missing on God's goodness. He is therefore working day and night to get companions. Not having a companion in this world is hard. Can you imagine not having anybody to talk to? You are doing everything for yourself. I mean being alone and lonely. The devil was put in hell alone and well he is doing all he can; not to be alone any more. Back to the topic.
When I met God, He was clothed in black and the devil was clothed in white. Are you confused? Guess its because we have always been led to believe that black is evil and white is good right? Well my meeting was beyond the norm. When I met God He gave me comfort. He reminded me the great plans He has over my life. He went on to tell me that I look very beautiful in the outfit I am in. Yes I was wearing a black and white dress. I went on to tell Him that this is quite an old outfit and perhaps its time He blessed me with another. He told me not worry, I am His daughter. All I need to do is to bring all the desires of my heart Him. Soon after that He was gone. I was left with so much happiness and peace within me. Then I met my colleague, I have been away for leave and needed to catch up with the office. They filled me in and I went to sit at my desk. That is when the devil came.
He wasn't in a hurry , he was calm and collected, then he told me its a new month. You are so behind on your project. When are you ever going to finish? The busy time of the department is here. How are you going to balance all this? I don't think you have it in you. You are not going to make it. That is how my peace went to the dogs. I became anxious. I saw all these things I need to do and how time is limited. I decided to take a breather to get me some noodles. On my way to the supermarket I got robbed. I had to go back and settle at my desk without anything to eat. Hot water wasn't helping end the anxiety. My colleague visited me and I snapped at her. She walked sneering. The devil had won. I was now his agent. I called my husband and for some reason I also snapped at him. He hang up. I was no longer calm.
I decided time to listen in to some music. It relaxed me. Moments later a message was shared in a what app group about believing in oneself. I could feel peace being restored. I became calm. I got a moment to have a meeting with myself. No God , no devil in this meeting. You do realise this isn't possible God is everywhere but lets get to it. Its called, the meeting of "What just happened?" and "Whose am I?".
We keep looking forward to meeting God and dread meeting the devil without realising we meet with either of them in our everyday lives. Actually we too have been God and devil in life. See the spirit is what makes the body. Without the spirit the body cannot be. It has no colour or life.That is how we know someone has died. Their spirit departs from the body. God is a spirit and the giver of all spirit. God exists in the spirit of a person. That is how a person does good because they have the influence of God. The devil too is a spirit and looks for a body to house him. That is how we witness so many evils and ills happening. Yes they are being done by the body of so and so but its because the spirit in that body has given room to the devil. That is how people steal, kill, abuse, beat and do all these evils to each other.
This idea of waiting to meet God in a white robe and devil in a black attire is a fallacy. The God and devil we are waiting to meet lives among us and we interact with both everyday. Its for us all to have the spirit of discernment to know which of the two we shall entertain. Remember when we allow evil to rule us we are saying I am happy being the devils companion in hell. When we allow good to rule us, we are saying I am happy being God's companion in heaven. Whose companion have you been? Which place are you choosing? When someone offends you, pray that the devil may depart from them. When a person does something good , pray that God may continue to reign in them.
