Assignment #1

     It is really depressing to hear about people that have been decieved so much by the satan and his lies that they would worship him!  When I read things like this, it awakens me to how real the spiritual world really is and that things like this go on every day and we don't realize it.  Every temptation is a spiritual war in us and every time we give in, the devil wins.  We need give God our all and he will sustain us, we don't need the things of this world when we have a Savior that came and died on the cross for us to forgive us of our sins.  Ephesians 6:10-13: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."  We shouldn't be so ignorant to the battles that are going on around us and in our own lives.  We need to be in the word every day and have our armor on to fight off the devil's schemes when he hurls them at us.
