Mid-Week Manna From Pastor Nat
- God’s Saving Enmity Part 46 : ONLY AUTHENTIC BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS RECEIVE DIVINE ENMITY AGAINST SIN
MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:
November 29, 2023God’s SavingEnmity
Part 46ONLY AUTHENTIC BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS RECEIVE DIVINE ENMITY AGAINST SIN
“Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” John 8:34. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8:8, KJV.“In the ungenerate heart there is a LOVE OF SIN, and a disposition to cherish and excuse it. [In stark contrast] “In the renewed heart there is HATRED FOR SIN, and a determined RESISTANCE against it.
“When Christians CHOOSE the society of the ungodly and unbelieving, they EXPOSE THEMSELVES to temptation. Satan CONCEALS himself from view [a key cog in his deadly original strategy of deception as ‘the father of lies’] and stealthily draws his deceptive covering over their eyes. They CANNOT SEE that such company is calculated [by the master strategist] to do them harm; and while all the time ASSIMILATING to the world in CHARACTER, WORDS, AND ACTIONS, they are becoming more and more BLINDED.
“CONFORMITY TO WORDLY CUSTOMS CONVERTS THE CHURCH TO THE WORLD; IT NEVER CONVERTS THE WORLD TO CHRIST.
“Familiarity with sin will INEVITABLY cause it to appear LESS REPULSIVE. He who chooses to associate with the servants of Satan, will soon cease to fear their master [Satan].
“When in the way of duty [see Eccl. 12:13,14] we are brought into trial [by temptation to disobey God’s law], as was DANIEL in the king’s court, we may be sure that God will PROTECT US; but if we PLACE OURSELVES [by our self-pleasing, self-justifying choice, not by God’s commandments and leading], we shall FALL sooner of later.” – E.G. White, Great Controversy, 1911 ed., Pacific Press Publishing Asso.(all emphasis and words in brackets supplied).

- God’s Saving Enmity Part 45: MAN’S VIGILANT ENEMY IS TRACKING HIM EVERY MOMENT EVERYWHERE
MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:
November 22, 2023God’s Saving Enmity
Part 45MAN’S VIGILANT ENEMY IS TRACKING HIM EVERY MOMENT EVERYWHERE
“By their fruits ye shall know them.” See Matt. 7: 16-20, KJV.Both Jesus Christ and Satan and their respective PERSONS are currently invisible to mortal eyes. (Their respective appointed times, manner, and appearance are specified in prophecy). The ascended Savior of man is still in the most holy in heaven, closing out His intercessory work as merciful High Priest and righteous Judge of all the earth. Christ’s actual Presence on earth is resident in and manifested by the invisible Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead.
On the other hand, Satan, the enemy of God and man, is “the central power on the earth,” directing and implementing his “wrathful” plans and works through his “grand masterpiece of deception” on earth called the “man of sin,” “the son of perdition” of “the mystery of iniquity.” 2 Thess. 2: 2-12, etc.
Now this:
“While men are ignorant of his devices [‘unnumbered schemes’], this VIGILANT FOE is upon their track every moment. He is intruding his presence in every department of the HOUSEHOLD, in every STREET of our cities, in the CHURCHES, in the NATIONAL COUNCILS, in the COURTS OF JUSTICE—perplexing, deceiving, seducing, everywhere ruining the souls and bodies of men, women, and children, breaking up families, SOWING hatred, emulation, strife, sedition, murder.“And the CHRISTIAN WORLD [mainstream Christianity] seems to regard these things as though God had appointed them, and they must exist. [one of the many ways of transgressing the second commandment of the Ten, “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” Exo 20: 7; Deut. 5: 11, etc.SATAN’S STRATEGY AGAINST GOD’S PEOPLE
“Satan is continually seeking to overcome the people of God by BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS which separate them from the world [1 Pet. 1:9: Deut.14:2; cf. Rom. 12: 1, 2]. “Ancient ISRAEL were enticed into sin when they ventured into FORBIDDEN association with the heathen [‘Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers.’ 1 Cor. 6: 15-20; cf. James 4: 4; 1 John 2: 15-17].In similar manner are MODERN ISRAEL led astray. [2 Cor. 4:4 quoted. Read!]. ALL WHO ARE NOT DECIDED FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST ARE SERVANTS OF SATAN.” -E. G. White, Great Controversy, 1911 ed.. p. 508, Pacific Press Asso. [all emphasis and words in brackets mine].
