Daily Devotional. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the Knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the Holy Commandment delivered unto them. 2 Peter 2:18-21. Again, these are not Believers who lose their salvation. There are more sinister tricks and traps going on here. This is not a “Satan divided” household, and we’re looking at this from a Satanic perspective. A man is on his way to Hell and Satan knows ALL his weaknesses, and what it will take to keep control over the man. The man looks like a “big time sinner” and all his friends see this. Satan loosens up his grip on the man just enough so the man looks like he’s found “religion”, and all his friends see this too, he’s a changed man. “Maybe God really can change people”. Satan tightens up his grip again and the man “falls back into sin even worse than before”. Nothing gained, nothing lost. NOT TRUE!!! All this guys friends who heard God can change people when they “get religion” now see that God can’t keep people Saved and they fall back into sin worse than before. “What good is a God who can’t keep people on the straight and narrow when a little adversity shows up? If that’s your God, I want nothing to do with Him”. And now, all those lost friends turn even harder against God, AND WARN ALL THEIR FRIENDS TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT GOD THOSE GUYS PREACH ABOUT. Satan had now turned even more people “off” to Preaching, and they all will not, Be Blessed.
