Influenced By Whom

Today we will look at Isaiah 14:13, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:”

Notice another statement of Lucifer in Isaiah 14:13, “… I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation; in the sides of the north:”  Not only does he want to knock God off His very throne; but, he wants to rule in the lives of God’s people too.  He tries all kinds of trickery to get us to follow him.  This is why decision making is so important.  You could be doing the will of satan and not the will of God.  We must be people of the Word and know the Scriptures well so that when things arise that we can test them through the filter of God’s Word and know if they come from our Father or from our enemy.  This is important if we are going to accomplish things for God and if we are going to live pleasing to Him.  You do want to live a life that pleases our Heavenly Father, right?

If we are not careful we can be influenced by satan and then that influence can work into God’s Church.  This is a big reason for receiving members who are born-again.  These are the only people in the body of Christ so they are the one’s that should populate His Church.  Let God influence you with His Word, His Spirit, His people.

So, how are you doing?
