Greetings, my dear children. Today, I come to you to discuss a topic that has been a source of confusion and fear for many of you - sorcery. The practice of sorcery has been used by Satan to deceive and mislead people throughout history. In this blog, I will explain how sorcery is a tool of Satan to lead us astray and how we can protect ourselves from falling into this trap.
Let us turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance. In Galatians 5:19-21, it says: "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." This verse reminds us that sorcery is an act of the flesh and that it separates us from God.
So, why does Satan use sorcery to deceive us? The answer lies in the fact that sorcery can seem enticing and powerful. It can give the illusion of control and provide a sense of security. However, this false sense of power is an illusion that ultimately leads us away from God and towards the devil's agenda.
What can we do to protect ourselves from this deception? Firstly, we must pray. In Matthew 26:41, it says: "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Prayer is our direct line of communication with God, and it is through prayer that we can ask for forgiveness for our sins and seek guidance on how to protect ourselves from the devil's deception.
Secondly, we should turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, it says: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Bible provides us with the wisdom and insight we need to stay focused on our spiritual growth and to protect ourselves from the devil's deception.
Lastly, we should seek accountability. In James 5:16, it says: "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Having a community of believers who can hold us accountable and help us stay focused on our spiritual growth is essential in overcoming the temptation to engage in sorcery and other acts of the flesh.
In conclusion, my dear children, we must be careful not to allow sorcery and other acts of the flesh to deceive us and lead us away from God. Through prayer, guidance from the Scriptures, and accountability, we can protect ourselves from the devil's deception and stay focused on our spiritual growth. Let us pray together now, asking for forgiveness for our sins and for strength to resist the devil's attempts to lead us astray. May God bless you and keep you always in His loving embrace. Amen.
