I have . . . Of course, as the pastor of a Southern Baptist church, you KNOW I will see him. I saw him in the last couple of months in what happened to some of my friends and colleagues at First Baptist Florence and a couple of other churches in our association. Over the years I have seen his handiwork in our church, when pride and arrogance creep in to the lives of our people. Honestly, I see him trying really hard to bring our current Habitat for Humanity project to a grinding halt.
And the irony here is this: He has NO POWER other than that we give him in our lives. Satan only gains ground in the kingdom of God WHEN WE GIVE IT TO him. And, when it comes to the Habitat project, he is having a lot of fun. And that really disappoints me.
What can we do?? Pray and make sure he does not get a foothold ON US. If EACH MEMBER of Ebenezer would do this, there would be absolutely no problems whatsoever. Truth is, some are too proud to even admit that Satan could gain a foothold, and they won’t pray that prayer. And, we are in for a bumpy ride.
With all of that said, please pray for the Habitat project, and pray for me!!
