Temptations are Satan's Metubishi

The art of sight removal or metubishi is that of using hidden objects, be they shuriken, or a 35mm film tube of cayenne pepper, to blind and strike an attacker or to be used to evade. This is how the ninja, really a bunch of thugs, would vanish in blackish night or in plain sight.

The concept is elementary. A flashlight can also be used to temporarily remove sight, block that haymaker, love tap, maybe a kick to the nerve in the thigh, escape. Against multiple opponents it works wonders.
Blind, a few hits, and gone, carried away like Jesus into the multitude.

However, Satan is the highest created being, Ezekiel 28.12-18. A third of heaven rides with him; though this number is debatable, we see in Matthew 25.41 & Revelation 12 is is plausible; and he like the other sons of God shouted, Job 38, before the world was made. He is the most intelligent being ever made; to take him on directly even with a thousand saints, 500 apostle Pauls, 300 Peters, and ten thousand seers is very hazardous. The charismatic just does not understand how powerful the devil is, as most in Christ. Let me show you from the word of God how Satan uses a spiritual metubishi, blind then strike.

Satan never can cast himself out; an house divided cannot stand. As it is written, http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Mark-3-23_3-26/
Before he can do anything, he must appear before the most high, Job 1.5-6. As any competent general does he scours the planet for targets continually, but how does a spy go about in the walking to and fro without being seen; if a general wore his ranked cover, uniform, coat, these red herrings would find him out.

Now, the why is found in verse eight. Why does God allow Satan's trickery? And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Tap, tap, this is just a test. Read Job to see why. Magnificent book. Better is that which we have, Psalm 34.16!

How can so many billions be ignorant, dumb? In 2 Cor. 11, Paul gives an answer:
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The world is blind as a bat, so be wise if you have tasted of that heavenly gift!

Again, Paul states,
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
The Jews are still blind to this very hour. What they refused was taken and given elsewhere, Mt. 21. Do not be cut off as they were, Romans 11.22!

And in the fourth of Ephesians,
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

Once more in the second letter to Corinth,
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Satan knows your faults & burdens. Don't be a dupe!
Jesus told you as did Jude how to resist him!
Jude says when in Ezekiel 28 the serpent was disputing Moses' body, Micheal the archangel, no slouch, was out ranked, out gunned, but not out-foxed.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending withthe devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. Jude vs. 9

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 2 Jn. 2.11

Silly rabbit, you must love the brethren, even heretics. As much as Paul in Galatians wanted them cut off so does this servant, but there must be a place for wrath. You cannot grind them to powder because they err. Shall you fall into a pit for their sin?!
Rich like Laodecia? The diner in Heaven does not serve lukewarm soup! http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Revelation-3-15_3-18/

Why do you think it is commanded by Cephas,
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

You are not a Christian by works or a choice, or by merit (John 1.9-14), but because of this:
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Too often this passage is quoted disorderly and dry!

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11

Satan's metubishi are those things we must give to God, else he will destroy us as we think we have him on the run; fool, you merely stepped on the platform & left an hanging rope! All Baalezebub has to do is yank that lever!

Now, if I may be excused, I have burdens to lay down.
Psalm 115.1

 

Huh. I thought this post went into the aether.

Lucifer's loss is not our gain if we do not humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.

 

'Xcuse me while I die laughing!

 

Huh-huh, you had better not try to stomp Satan as he will outwit you! Only the blood of Jesus is where Satan dwelleth not, for it makes the vilest sinner clean.
