DOES EVIL PROSPER?
Evil (Satan) has no source of income. It steals from God who is good (Mk.10: 18). God has set the sun to shine over the good and the bad (Mt.5: 45). Only man is capable of discerning between good and evil (Gen.3: 22). When Satan, the source of evil, was cast out of heaven (Rev.12: 9), he took command of the world (Lk.4: 5-7). He always sets up his headquarters near Christians (Rev.2: 13). The devil has children called evildoers and they prosper under the umbrella of goodness (Jn.8: 44; Mt.7: 23).
It is disturbing when evildoers prosper and when God's people envy them. The earth is the Lord's and everything in it (Ps.24: 1; Ex.9: 29). God put Adam in charge (Gen.1: 26-28); but man yielded leadership to the devil by disobeying God and because of it lost control of the world (Gen.3: 1-24). With evil being in charge, evildoers prosper (Mal.3: 15). The wicked become wealthy by treachery (Jer.12: 1; Job.12: 6). They do not live by God's laws (Ps.10: 5). It is very tempting to envy their prosperity (Ps.73: 3). But please, do not envy their end or destination (Ps.73: 17). For that is all the wicked shall ever have and then they may not even be allowed to enjoy it in this life (Lk.12: 20). There is an everlasting difference between laying up treasures on earth and treasures in heaven (Mt.6: 19-21).
The children of the world are more clever and shrewder than the children of light (Lk.16: 8). Jesus' advice to his messengers on the road for Him was, "be wise as serpents and innocent like doves" (Mt.10: 16). Unfortunately, like Eve, we are still being trapped by Satan's designs (I Tim.5: 15). Satan is on the loose, a roaring lion ready to devour (Rev.20: 7; I Pe.5: 8). He begins with intimidation before he persecutes. He can have our bodies only and not our souls (I Cor.5: 5). While we are in the body, Satan will assault us. He wants our bodies so he can hurt our spirits. He even dared to desire the body of Moses (Jude 1: 9). He tempted our Lord with fame and prosperity (Mt.4: 4-10). Jesus warned us that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak (Mk.14: 38). Satan wants to sift us, but our Lord Jesus intercedes for us (Lk.22: 31; I Jn.2: 1-2).
Satan knows that his time is short (Rev.12: 12). He shall make life for Christians so difficult that the Lord shall shorten their days so that they survive (Mt.24: 21-25). If material things occupy us more than God's kingdom, then we do have a serious problem (Mt.6: 33).

Thank you very much for this great blog post; this is the kind of post that keeps me going through the day. I've been searching around for your site after I heard about them from a buddy and was thrilled when I was able to find it after searching for some time. Being an avid blogger, I'm pleased to see others taking initiative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my appreciation for your work as it's very encouraging, and many bloggers do not get the credit they deserve. I'm sure I'll be back and will send some of my friends.
Hi Zusammen, Wie gehts wie stehts? Ich habe ein unterhaltsames Spielzeug fuer Jugendliche zum Bestellen gesucht.

I have read couple of articles on your blog and can say it was really interesting, thanks for sharing that.
If she's as adamant as she sounds about not having you read her blog, then she probably doesn't have it searchable. If she does, you may check Blogger or Technorati. Honestly, though, should you respect this woman and you would like her to respect you, then have some consideration for her privacy, be mature, and do not go trying to hunt it down.
I just needed to say that I found your blog via Goolge and I am glad I did. Carry on the great work and I will make sure to bookmark you for when I have a lot more free time away from the books. Thanks!
I'm really loving the blog, and hope this, as well as the excellent article some other people have written, will help somebody
I was wondering what is up with that unusual gravatar??? I know 5am is early and I'm not looking my best at that hour, but I hope I don't look like this! I might however make that face if I'm asked to do 100 pushups. lol
Awesome tips. I’ll be passing this post on for sure.
