LIVING IN THIS “WICKED” WORLD.


To kick-start a meeting with the Managing Director(MD) of a government Agency who was really being oppressive to him and his firm with regards to an assignment they were handling for the MD’s organisation, a learned gentleman spoke to the effect that he was not at that meeting as a lawyer but as a simple human being and suggested that both parties should consider the matter at hand as human beings subject to the Creator of all. The MD countered that he would rather take a “legal stance”!  Of course, that was just to retain his earlier oppressive and rather unfair stance. At that instant our lawyer knew inside of him that the battle had been won! The lawyer had tried to speak to the spirit of the MD but going by his response, the MD had most probably chosen instead to take matters intellectually. He hardened his heart as most people who have succumbed to the influence of the darkness do. A few months later he was removed, and a new MD solved the matter swiftly, fairly and amicably.

Most likely, you too have encountered people who shamelessly put their wicked ways on display. It may also happen that ill health, adversity or conflicts stare us in the face, and we feel certain that we are under the attack of evil people who hate us, who are strong and are connected to “principalities and powers”! Certainly, there are humans who have become minions of the evil one and operate as servants of darkness. Lucifer needs these people to work as his operatives as he himself cannot work directly in this world. We therefore come face to face with these numerous minions of Lucifer in all places, in families, in the professions, in society both religious and social, and in every walk of life. How are we to live with this reality?

I have good news! These dark and wicked slaves of Lucifer are inferior to any man who is striving upwards! Your strong, constant and unchanging decision to stand for the Truth and to be pure will activate a strong shield and armor which can be employed such that with your single act of will, an army of them will disappear without trace! They cannot withstand one who stands in the Light! So, the saving grace is to live by the Laws of the Lord Almighty. His Power that flows through us remains pure and potent once it is not passed through impure channels of impure thoughts, words and deeds. These three forms of our actions (thoughts, words and deeds) can be strong and impenetrable shield for us as well as spears to ward off attacks.

Therefore, let us live our lives with childlike and calm confidence in God our Heavenly Father and His Commands. The war we really need to wage is not with our perceived enemies but a war to conquer ourselves, our vanity, our own faults and adhere solely to the Laws of God. We should also avoid relying on astrologists, occultists, medicine men, and all kinds of “men of god” who give their clienteles nothing but disquiet which is the soul’s most dangerous enemy. No matter the outward storm, we should never allow such to cause us internal instability. Rather, we need to remain calm, prayerfully seek for guidance and clarity on the right steps and that it be given to us to act aright.

Our greatest shield and weapon remain: keeping our thoughts pure. This leads to pure words and deeds. That way, we will be victorious and  bring to ourselves nothing but everlasting peace and happiness!
