The Devil

Who is the devil??

This is what I believe:

The devil is that part of you that is fearful, resentful, impatient, selfish, unconscious, & disconnected from God.... your emotions & your ego. The Devil is not some supernatural force, or a big red beast. Your devil is you & my devil is me.

My spiritual counselor spoke from Romans 8: "...everything works for the greater good."

Is it that everything works for the greater good, or is it just that God is present in every situation? Meaning that the devil resides in you & when you listen to that part of yourself, the God in you is activated; called & comes to save you from yourself... you are awakened in the midst of your unconsciousness. You are reconnected to God in the midst of your bad decisions b/c He never leaves you. The devil resides in you, but so does God, & your God side is your more powerful side, it is who you really are, it is where/how you find & fulfill your purpose. God is who you really are.

God allows you to make those bad & unconscious decisions b/c He knows that He can pull you out of them, & sometimes He knows that you need to endure them to be awakened. God never leaves you, nor does he leave you confused or misguided. God is certainty. God is peace, serenity.

There is no need to go searching for what's already in you & there is no reason to blame other people, the devil, or other spirits for your wrongdoing... but, you have to awaken to your real self, to the God w/in you to be found, redeemed, & accountable for the mistakes in your life.
