[tenac]

Good morning brother plugger....Its funny how sometimes we can read something that on the surface seems so simple...so to speak...but from that and the Holy Spirit prompting us...a really good discussion can come forth in our head and heart. You said....

Sort of a net thing to keep in mind, we are not in this war of evil vrs good all by ourselves

I would "guess" that the majority of folks say...."good vs evil"....but when i read your "evil vs good"....i thought....you know...that really is the truth is it not in todays world. Now dont get me wrong...there is a lot of good still in this ole world and people....BUT...it seems that maybe not even 50/50....its like evil is 70% and good 30%....just throwing a guess and number out there...but we need to remember that maybe 5% of the world is born-again....so...95% of the world is living for satan...so....im thinking on this for a spell about the context of evil and including all the bad stuff in the same category as evil....and yes...that is SIN which is running rampant! So....putting the evil in front of the good really is kinda sorta the way it is....i mean....just look around....all the natural disasters...war and conflicts....a world that has embraced that anything goes living in and loving SIN with every fiber of their being...the mentality of do unto others BEFORE they do unto you.....This old world has been sick and in SIN ever since Adam and Eve decided to partake in the forbidding fruit...and i know each and ever day is Bible prophecy being fulfilled leading us to the Rapture....i know God is still in control and as you said....the battle still rages but of course the war is won by the death and resurrection of Jesus...but....sometimes it all just seems like when you say it cant get any worse...look out....here it comes! BUT...in and of all that....im cool...im living my life each day knowing i have a home in heaven one day and God in my stronghold my strong tower as i walk this earth so im living the dream thru the power of the Holy Spirit living in me! No matter how bad it may seem....God is still in control and it is God who is allowing satan to have at humans to fulfill Gods plan for humanity. Those that will be saved and go to heaven will...and...those that choose satan will burn in hell....its just that simple though i wish no one an eternity in hell...but...its their choice!

So my long winded point....often time even the simplest of words can light a fire....bad or good....and this morning you ole plugger and the Holy Spirit thru this evil vs good thingy....got me to thinking about ...well...all this i just typed and more. We never know how our words and actions are going to influence others. And yes...that can be in a evil or a good way......

So thank you plugger for giving me a topic for my JESUS time this morning...and....Y'all have a awesome day telling folks about JESUS!!!!!

And remember...God has us always!
