When the Will of Satan is Superimposed by the Will of God


Superimpose: To lay or place (something) on or over something else. Place over, position, overlay, lay over, apply to, cover. As I was cleaning at my church this past tuesday this topic came to me, and moments later I felt an energy of rejoicing come upon me. This energetic force seemed to overshadow me. Have you ever been in a situation in your life when it just seemed as if your circumstance(issue) overshadowed your peace of mind. There was a time in my life when I co-signed for my cousin to get a television, living room set, and bedroom set from value city. The total came to over $5000. He failed to make the payments to me for the items, and the stress of the situation superimposed itself upon me, unto the point where I acted out of character. I found myself in the back of a police car. The grace and mercy of God superimposed the situation and eventually the issue was resolved. This was a situation where the will of Satan was superimposed by the will of God.

There are times when Satan will seek to gain influence in your life. Just as rain drops fall upon the ground, he seeks to saturate the soil of our heart and mind with thoughts of error. I heard a quote from a gentleman a little over 3 months ago. He stated that "tests can either refine you or define you." Are you allowing the will of Satan to define who you are? The choices we make can be likened to tools(instruments) which have the capability of shaping who and what we will become. We all have the volitional ability to choose. Will you allow(choose) the will of God to be the tool which shapes(molds,carves) you into who and what you will become?

This is definitely an eye opener. Who are we allowing to influence our lives. I sometimes "lay my religion down" to get a point across to someone who hurt me or disrespected me. Now I realize I allowed satan to influence my decision on how to act on those particular situations. God should be our only influence in our daily walk. As we grow spiritually it will be easier for us to allow God to influence us everyday.
