Are we giving Satan too much credit?

Ben Lunis's picture

Blessed Lord, I often hear people giving Satan the "credit" for unwanted or "bad" events in their lives. They blame Satan for what has occurred. I recognize that things can just happen, as the huge tree that fell across our deck in a wind storm this week. Lord, how do we separate actual satanic attacks from things that just happen?

Ben, too many of My people are prone to giving Satan "credit" for things that transpire in their lives.  Why do they not come to Me and ask Me about that which has happened? When they give Satan credit for something, they are cutting Me out of the picture. I want My people to come to Me for everything, and I do mean everything! When My people do this, I am enabled to help them, to guide them, to comfort them,in whatever is taking place. Just blaming Satan for some event and then going on about "living" cuts Me out of the picture, and when it does, it cuts Me out of what I am wanting to do in their lives.

Thank you, Lord and Ben. I was also reminded today to remember the character of our God and that all things go through His hand before they enter our lives.

Marni, thank you for your thanks!  Regarding your statement, I felt prompted to ask our Lord
for His comments on your statement.  Here is what I received for your consideration: 
Ben, this is incorrect theology.  While I am aware of all that is happening,
I do not interfere with the wills of people.  This is why I want everyone to
first come to Me in any given situation.  When I am asked to interfere, to
be involved, then I will.  When people choose to believe I am filtering
everything ahead of time, they will not be relying upon Me.  Rather,
they are hoping that this is the case.  I so want My people to come
to me for everything and in every situation.  I will hear and I will respond!
Many blessings to you,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Thank you for your response. God is present and active in all situations. Knowing that He is there is the reason why I seek Him in all areas of life.
Being passive and fatalistic (...it was meant to be) is not the answer.

How Could I Have Been So Wrong? MP3s

Mark Virkler | 16 sessions of MP3

This is my story of how my cardiac event was resolved by combining the best in medical care, Christian spirituality, and nutrition. 

I was NOT supposed to have a cardiac event. I ate a healthy diet, exercised several times a week, consumed lots of great nutrition and sought to live destressed by abiding in Christ. This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.

How Do YOU Know? MP3 Downloads

by Mark Virkler | 12 Audio Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.

How to Speak in Tongues MP3

How to Speak in Tongues MP3

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4). The goal of this short teaching is to help people understand the part they need to play and the part the Holy Spirit plays when it comes to the miracle of speaking in tongues.

How to Walk by the Spirit MP3s

How to Walk by the Spirit MP3s

by Mark Virkler | 12 Sessions

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
