What the deceiver really wants....
Often we are perplexed and often we are astonished at the level of oppression that comes against us. Some of you may feel like the "life breath" is being sucked out of you, slowly, steadily and without hesitation. Today I want to share with you what the deceiver really wants...
The scriptures tell us that we who are in Christ uniquely have the Holy Spirit living within us and that we are now God's Temple. That is that our bodies are His temple and He dwells therein.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (The Message)
16-20There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
Being that God's Spirit uniquely resides inside of Christians it is manifest that God sits on a throne inside of us. What is that throne and where is it? The throne of God within us is our heart.
Many people wonder what the Bible has to say about the heart. The word "heart" is mentioned 743 times in the Bible, and it is used in various contexts. The references that have the most significance for Christians involve the heart representing a person's will or desires. God wants people to love Him with all of their hearts. When they stray, God wants them to return to Him with all of their hearts.

Today I want to share with you that the deceiver has always desired, planned and carried out schemes to sit within God's temple on His throne. I want to make it clear to you that the evil one is divisively planning how to overtake your heart so that he can sit in it's place in lieu of God.
We know that the Antichrist will appear at the temple in Jerusalem and will incite the "abomination of desolation" by sitting on the throne inside of the temple as if he were God. This is no surprise or it should not be because this is manifest in the Word of God.
Matthew 24:15-16 (The Message)
The Monster of Desecration
15-20"But be ready to run for it when you see the monster of desecration set up in the Temple sanctuary. The prophet Daniel described this. If you've read Daniel, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you're living in Judea at the time, run for the hills; if you're working in the yard, don't return to the house to get anything; if you're out in the field, don't go back and get your coat. Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard. Hope and pray this won't happen during the winter or on a Sabbath.
This Monster of Desecration is working according to this same model in our physical bodies as he attempts to influence, gain control over and subdue our hearts for himself. He intends to sit upon the throne of your heart as if he were God. The Proverbs tell us in Proverbs 4:23 the following words.
Proverbs 4:23 (The Message)
23-27 Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that's where life starts.
Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.
Today as you feel oppression coming upon you... Today as you feel evil thoughts carousing about your heart and mind...know for sure that you overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of your mouth. You have been given authority to speak life and command authority if you are indeed in Christ, to guard your heart and to leave evil in the dust.
The serpent of old is a "dust licker" as he slides along seeking how to surprise his next victim with his venom that goes directly to the heart. Keep vigilant watch over your heart. Keep God on the throne of your heart because by grace He made a way that you could be pure and holy restored to a right relationship with Him. Keep your eyes straight ahead and ignore the sideshow distractions that come from the Monster of Desecration. Learn how to guard your heart and minds in Christ Jesus. Meet the intruder at the door of your heart for it is better to defeat him outside of the door than to battle him within.
In closing allow me to say that one of the most pervasive and dangerous mentalities that anyone can have is a "Robin Hood Mentality". This is a mentality that says, "I know what I do is bad, but God will continue to bless me because the bad that I do I do for good". What a lie. What a slight of hand. What a deception. Evil is evil and good is good. In Christ there is no evil. In Light there is no darkness. Do not deceive yourself or be deceived with a "Robin Hood Mentality" because in so doing you turn over the throne of your heart within the temple of God (your body) to the Monster of Desecration.
What does the Monster of Desecration really want?... He wants to sit on the throne of your heart where he can give orders to your flesh that will result in death, eternal death, anguish here and anguish for eternity along with suffering and utter desolation. Above all else guard your heart for from it flows the issues of life.
You can have hearts wide open and abandoned only to God. Any other heart that is left unguarded, wide open and abandoned will be filled with a usurper of authority, a liar, a slave master, a demon, a enemy of God. Set your hearts and minds apart consecrating them to God alone for He alone is God and you if you are in Christ, belong to Him, heart, body, mind, spirit and soul.
Have a blessed week and remember to praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise the Lord for He inhabits the praises of His people.
