Living with Lucifer

Did you cringe when you saw the name of this post? Do his favorite numbers, 666, cause you to cringe? Do you get creeped out by either of them?

The raw truth is, folks, we live in proximity with both Lucifer and God. That may surprise some. I realize, and I’d almost bet, that there are those who would say “no way”, I’m solidly grounded in the Lord. The fact remains, Lucifer is alive and well in this world we live in and will be until the end times when he will ultimately be cast into unending torment.

Here it is as I see it, and I’m certainly not a theologian or a very studied man. In fact, I’m a rather simple man; Lucifer (Satan) is “alive” and well just as he has been since the beginning. He comes in the form of temptation, lies, deceit, and sin. And, we are all, being inherently broken people, are fair game for him daily REGARDLESS of the strength of our belief in God. Some folks don’t like to hear that. Be as it may, Lucifer is an unwanted guest in our daily lives, just as much as God is when we make the choice that we want Him in our lives. The more we make that choice and live accordingly, the less the impact Lucifer has on us—but he is never not around us.

Perhaps if we more willingly understood that we live with Lucifer, instead of alluding to the fact that he is all around us, we might better prepare ourselves to withstand his influences on our lives, influences that will and do occur.
