The SELF.

Satan is what we battle the most, Satan is what we rebuke mostly everytime, knowing him as cause of sin who has just three missions To steal, Kill and destroy. Normally we know he is the one to rebuke along side with his servants and followers.

     But there is one thing we are forgetting and probably we might not really notice it but I'll tell you. This thing dwells within us, we do not seem to know it but it is like our shadow it derives from earthly desires and sometimes it controls us, using one of this weapon to overcome us and control the heart desires.

    This is nothing but the "self", some of us might be strong in prayer physically and spiritually knowing when to pray, when to rebuke the devil. Although it is not of your own volition to choose whether to pray or not. But one must be certain that prayer is very necessary and vital, like it is said "what you don't know is bigger and stronger than you" we all know the devil as an enemy of us, but forgetting that when eve ate the "forbidden fruit" a lot changed starting from the mind. Knowing that they were naked, second another door was created making it two in total.

My own very explanation, The first door was "the door of light" this was the door that God created us from and the other door is "the door of darkness" this is the door that mankind follows a lot and the same door that God is trying to pull us out from. A man can only "ONLY" take one of these doors. Your decision, but your reward awaits you at the end.

     

     Third thing is from Adam and Eve action the door of darkness was first made on earth and from that door death was summoned through the door of darkness. Another thing is God banished  them from the garden of eden but he did not take away the light he gave them from the start. Now they now wield the darkness and the light in them because there decisions are not yet made.

     We sin because of the dark door. I stated that "as far as an offspring is been produced on earth the first thing it inherits is sin, humans are born from sin but are not made with sin" the first inheritance will be from there first parents."...
I continued " when the child grows to maturity age, then it is up to the child to choose his or her
Own door", that is from my own very explanation. Yes sin is not born it is made. Let me add on this statement: the child has to make his or her own decision. The choice they pick depends on the proficiency of there parents. 

     So now, our weaknesses in living a spiritual life that God wants will become "the self weapon", and its best weapon is the earthy affections of ours. The things we love the most on earth, virtually we can't do without them, this is our greatest weakness and also result as ones falling. 

Our love should be on heavenly things and not the mundane things, because of the love you have for these mundane things,  your weakness grows the more and succumb in life and in spiritual life as well. Your self pushes you to sin, pulls you to immoral habits and illegal actions . 

     The self blinds your focus on God, But did you  know the absurd part of This "self"? It make use of your earthly desires, the self never created this desires, you did. It controls you, all because you shared this earthly desires with it. And now it have something in common with you. You must fight this self then. Because the self is your greatest weakness, You can not just stand up and say you want to fight sin without knowing your weakness. 

     Your weakness in living a spiritual Iife that God wants from us is the strength of your sin. So you must fight the self so hard that it will obey you. Once the self (your weakness) has surrendered, it now becomes the weakness of your sin. Making you times two stronger than your opponent (sin). Fast, pray, Go deep in God to beat this self. Once it is down you can now gain full control of yourself. And now set out a new rule for your "self" the rule of light not of dark anymore. And share it with the self.

Always have it in your mind that the God you worship is a spirit, so therefore you must worship him in spirit and in truth.
