Fighting the invisible...

...through morality.

I was in fifth grade. During a math test I got up to ask my teacher a question, and when I returned to my seat I accidentally caught a peek of a classmate's test, learning an answer I could not figure out. I sat at my desk, deliberating about whether I should use the answer, or leave the question blank. I opted to use it, and proceeded to go through a week of inner turmoil.

When choices are correct, and in line with Christian morals, we experience a peaceful existence that is directly in contradiction with what Satan tries to throw at us. By walking through life, telling the truth, treating people well, and exercising powerful compassion, we lead the fight against evil...by not fighting at all.

Working towards good is challenging, especially when money is involved. Have you ever seen $500 lying on the ground, and then returned it? I had a friend who did that. At the time some of us thought he was crazy because we were not even sure that it got back to the rightful owner. But he was fine with it, because he did the best he could. A proper Christian? Absolutely. In church every week. Takes care of his elderly mom. And a fabulous friend to me and others.

Watch how the invisible demons flee when awesome Christ-filled morality comes into play. They are really there and they really do run when faced with a sincere Christian. No other belief system can offer that. None! Walk the proper walk, talk the proper talk, and Satan himself will get upset. But do you have anything to worry about? Nope. Jesus will provide powerful protection.
