A Letter to You from Satan

Hey you all! Halloween has passed and every year I go to a drama called “Hell Night” in Kansas City, KS. It is so awesome. We all hear about heaven and hell but many times we forget that hell is real and not a place of fiction. As I talk more about it, keep in mind that it is because of Love that Jesus took our place on the cross and it is because of love that we choose to accept and live for him, not a fear of hell.

God respects an atheist more than a luke warm christian. SAY WHAT?! Let me explain. God knows where an atheist stands. He knows exactly what they are choosing to believe, but lukewarm, He can’t stand because that person has not fully given themselves to Him. They have not picked a side, instead, trying to stand in the middle. We are either for him or against him. It’s better to never have known his power than to know it and deny it.

Lukewarm is having one foot in and one foot out. For example, living one day as if you don’t know God and then the next day putting on a front just to be in the assembly of worship on Sunday morning. I struggled with this and I was honest to God about it. I had a willing heart to change so God sat me down and lovingly set me straight. He had to isolate me from the world and some friends and I’m so glad He did 🙂 He will do it for you if you desire Him to.

You could have put my name next to almost every one of them on that list, but I chose to get off. I asked Jesus to save me from my sin and instead of just confessing with my lips, I let Him change my heart through the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Does this mean that I walk a perfect life all the time? No, no one does. Now I depend on the one who is perfect to help me overcome sin, Jesus. What salvation means is I don’t have to pay the price for my sins by going to hell and being separated from God for eternity. Instead, I accepted Jesus who has already paid the price for them so that I wouldn’t have to. Talk about love!  He wants to make the same exchange in your life today. He will take your sins in exchange for His righteousness so that you may have eternal life with Him.

It’s an eternity where there will be no more hurt, no more tears, no more death, and no devil. It’s an eternity with God in a place with streets made of gold. Wow, can you believe that? It sounds to good to be true huh? Believe it! God is real and heaven is glorious. Check out this letter I found years ago that’s truly life changing and decide today to choose life.

 A letter from Satan!

“I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful. I like that about you! I can not tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living. Fool, you are mine! Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don’t love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I’m going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, God LOVES YOU and He has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I’m going to make your life a living hell! That way we’ll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I’m really showing Him who’s boss in your life. With all of the good times we’ve had…we have been watching dirty movies, cursing people out, partying, stealing, lying, being a hypocrite, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, backstabbing people, disrespecting adults and those in leadership position, not respecting the church, bad attitudes–SURELY you don’t want to give all this up!

Come on, Fool, let’s burn together forever! I’ve got some hot plans for us! This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I’d like to say THANKS for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in! HA! HA! HA! You make me sick! Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older now. I need new blood! So go ahead and teach some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate (sex before marriage), and listen to and dance to the top 10 jams. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too! Kids are like that.

Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I’ll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart you would run somewhere, confess your sins, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It’s not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning is becoming a bit ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate you…It’s just that you’d make a better fool for CHRIST!”

When Jesus saves you, a change comes. His Holy Spirit enters you and as you walk with Him, you will grow to be more like Christ. What a joy. We all possess a body (this outer shell or earthly suit), a soul ( our thoughts, desires and emotions), and spirit ( connection to the spiritual world). Once we get saved we now possess God’s spirit which comes to take over our soul, hence the saying ” He saves souls”. Now we have His perfect spirit in us to help us turn from what our souls told our flesh to do, sin. Combine the Holy Spirit  with the word of God, the Holy Bible, and you have a life worth living. Those are the ingredients to defeating the enemy.

The good news doesn’t stop there. Not only did he become our sins and die on a cross in our place, rise again 3 days later with all power and authority in Him, He is coming for a final show down.  When He does He is taking those who believe in Him to heaven with Him, to dwell with him and God forever.

 

Romans 10:9 “If you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in

your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that

God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
