THE FORCES OF EVIL...GOD WANTS TO TALK TO YOU
The Force of Evil
The force of evil is also in your mind and it is at war with you. Evil is always connected to a feeling of fear. God is connected to a feeling of peace. Satan is the accuser. God is the comforter.
Evil seduces you into breaking God's law and then shames you for what you did. Evil knows where you are vulnerable. If you are afraid of being poor, evil will tempt you with money. If you have sexual vulnerabilities, evil will tempt you sexually. Satan says you are stupid, ugly, no good, broken, worthless and unlovable. The goal of the Devil is to destroy your relationship with God. Evil never wants you to communicate with God. It will laugh at you as you read these words.
Remember, God has more power than evil and he loves you. You are God's child, his perfect work of art. God offers you a wonderful free gift--union with him in everlasting paradise.
Essential Elements in Communicating with God
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me." (John 10:27)
Certain elements are required to make your first contact with God. This is where you practice listening for God's voice. It's like tuning in a radio station inside of your mind, but you are tuning for God’s thoughts. Once you know what God's voice is like, it's easier to find it again. Here are the components that are helpful in establishing the connection.
Silence
Find a quiet place. Little noises may be distracting, particularly at first. It helps most people to close their eyes. Choose a quiet place, get into a comfortable position and relax.
Willingness
Be open to the possibility that there is a God. You don’t have to have a deep religious faith, but you have to be willing to let go and allow the communication to occur. You can’t make it happen. The words will come naturally without effort. Some people try too hard and get frustrated.
