Shared Ryan Michlers post from 26 April. Powerful. Satan is around us and looking to exploit our weaknesses.
Whether you believe in God, the universe, karma, or something else, I believe that evil, in the form of Satan, wants you miserable because it's easier to control and destroy a man who is down. Here are six ways to counter evil's attempts to rule your life.
Realize what's happening. A war is being waged for your soul. Satan uses vices and weaknesses like alcohol, drugs, pornography, laziness, pride, and arrogance to weaken your will. Operate from truth, not delusion. The foundation for that truth is realizing that life is hard, messy, and painful.
Replace negative activities. Satan knows your weaknesses, and will confront you with opportunities to indulge in them. Finding healthy, positive activities to replace those negative activities is the way you take control of yourself. Involvement in productive communities, clubs, and organizations will ensure you aren't isolated and tempted to indulge in negative, destructive activities.
Surround yourself with men who stand against it. No man, no matter who they are or how successful, has everything figured out. But each man has something he's good at. By banding together with these men, you gain their strength and together, you can fight the weakness and negativity that Satan wants to sew. So reach out to other men. Don't let yor ego get in the way.
Evaluate your day. There will be days when you fall short. Document your shortcomings in a journal, because doing so will build your awareness of your weaknesses. And then, you will be able to recognize and counter your negative impulses with positive actions.
Try again. As long as you are alive, you get to wake each day and try again. You have the power to change yourself! If you failed yesterday, today does not have to be another failure. But you have to do something different. That's key. That thing you did yesterday that resulted in failure is not the thing you want to do today. Learn, and improve.
Have a plan. Satan has a plan for your destruction. If you just "wing it," you are already at a disadvantage.
