The Devil Can Bless You Too:
Yesterday I was having a conversation with a man who was telling me that he prays with rosary beads because the rosary beads have produced good results for him. He told me that several times in his life while in desperate situations his rosary prayer had rescued him from his situation. However, Ironically enough, he never considered the possibility that those rosary bead prayers were what was getting him in those desperation situations in the first place. Why did he always find himself in a desperate situation in which he needed to use the rosary beads to escape? That’s the bigger spiritual issue that was left unaddressed. Isn’t that something A devil would do? Wouldn’t the devil get you into a bad situation, and then help you escape the situation that the devil put you in? All so you can credit the tool of the devil for your rescue and forget he was the one who made you need rescuing.
Here is the thing:
If the devil’s methods didn’t produce results the devil would the devil have a single follower? Therefore yes, Rosary beads can produce results, witchcraft produces results, black magic produces results, meditation produces results, visualizing your future produces results, chanting produces results, praying 5 times a day to allah produces results and so forth. These all produce results because if they didn’t produce any results NO ONE would do it and keep on doing it. People do these things BECAUSE it produces results, however, are those the results the will of God or the will of your own self? When you face The Lord on judgment day and have to give an account for your life who will you say you served? The True God or yourself or other Gods? What does Jesus say?
Mark 8:36
“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
You can gain the whole world using the devil’s methods and you can get ALL the results your heart desires, but at the end of your life will those be results that pleased GOD or results that didn’t please GOD?
I was once a young man who didn’t have money or success, but after reading a few books about how to manifest my own reality and visualization techniques I began to practice these things. After a short time, I had climbed up the ranks and had more success than I ever expected to have. I was grateful and happy and I thanked God every single day for all the success I believed that God was granting me. I told everyone “All glory be to God for blessing me with this success” but was it really God blessing me? How could it be God blessing me when I was living in sin and the Bible says that any person who continues in sin has never seen God and does not know God?
1 John 3:6
“Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.”
I prayed to God every day, but did I know God? In my own brain, I thought I had a relationship with God, but the Bible says I did not, because I was in sin and sin separates us from God. So how could be blessed by GOD if according to the Bible God did not know me? The reality is my relationship with God was an illusion because I was living a sinful lifestyle, and my success was not coming from God but was coming from the Devil. Have you ever seen celebrities at award shows who make music and movies about all the things that GOD hates thanking God for their awards? Are their awards from GOD or the devil? Their rewards are from the devil because GOD would not reward their sin, however, just like me, many of them believe it is God who is blessing them. When the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness this is what he said to him:
Lukas 4:5-7
“Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
The Devil told Jesus “All the kingdoms of the world, all the wealth, and all the power and the splendor of this world are mine and I give it to the person I want to give them to.”
Do you know the Bible calls Satan “The God of this World”(2 Corinthians 4:4)? Do you know that Satan rewards the people who worship him in this life? He gives them wealth, power, and status so that he can use them to lead more people astray. Do you know the number one way people worship Satan? Not by sending him songs, but by living a lifestyle that is pleasing to him. The majority of the people who worship satan have no idea, they think they’re worshiping God. But you can not worship God if you are living a lifestyle of Sin.
In Closing: The Bible says there are many “gods” and many lords”.
1 Korintus 8:5
“For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),”
There are Fallen Angels, Evil Spirits, and other Powers and Principalities that exist in the spirit realm and they have the power to listen to the prayers of those on the earth who pray to false gods and reward them accordingly. Don’t think because a rosary prayer produced a result that this result was from God. Witchcraft produces results every day and witches know their result is not from God. It’s no different from every other religion in the world that tries to get to GOD without going through Jesus Christ. If the devil didn’t give people results people would stop following him. The devil can bless you too.
If you’ve done these things please repent. Don’t mistake getting results for your resulting being “The Will of God”. And if God does bless you, don’t mistake God’s kindness, to think God has acceptance of a sinful lifestyle. The Bible says God shows mercy to both good and evil people (Lukas 6:35).
God bless you all who are in Christ Jesus
