The problem with our world is that we have so many people, who let their perceived intellect get in the way of knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is their considerable IQ’s have lead them to believe too deeply in themselves.  They have become egotistical and eventually  deny Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, this along with the ever present reality that we live in a fallen world, tells us that the world we live in evil and influenced by satan.

This world that we live in is filled with evil. A question was raised by Rick Warren, Pastor of Saddleback Church, at his recent Civil Forum; Is there evil in the world and  he suggested three ways to deal with it?  The reality is evil is everywhere. If it is in the world and the world is inherently evil. There is only one way to defeat evil and that is through  the shield of faith. The Bible says we must Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the devil’s strategies. That is what we are confronted with in this world.

No political directive. No declared war will defeat evil.  Evil will be defeated once and for all, when Jesus Christ  returns and all of us will ultimately be judged at the Judgement seat of the Lord. In the meantime we must be sure we keep ourselves in fighting trim to  resist the devil’s enlisted demons who are all around us.  In the meantime, we must keep ourselves in fighting trim with the shield of Faith. We must take authority through Christ to defeat the devil and evilness on this earth.
