How to Overcome Evil

There have been so many plans or prescriptions of how to live your life throughout history: philosophy, ethics, religion, life coaching, taking of medicines, and exercise regimens. Nothing gives you a way to fight off and overcome evil though, except Christianity. Jesus is the only way and the only one throughout the entire history of mankind and the world that has ever succeeded in actually doing it. He is the only one who has ever defeated the evils of death, devil, and hell. Evil is that sickly thick malicious wicked force of twisted fate and prevalence that destroys harmony and goodness of conduct in all men. You don´t have to be a daily practitioner of murder and malevolence to be influenced by the most diabolical evil forces. Your character tells the tale of whether or not evil forces are at work in your life. Is your perception of life twisted and always pessimistic, or do you constantly practice deception on a daily basis, and do you constantly curse God for your condition in life?

Why does another human being allow himself to be controlled by evil and subjected to killing other innocent human beings? How can another person be influenced by evil to the point of going to an elementary school in Uvalde, Tx. and shooting 21 innocent school children and their teachers? All the factors of influence are not exactly known, whether there were drugs involved, cult participation, or simply just the absence of Jesus and Christianity in his life. That is actually all it takes to have a weak mind persuaded and corrupted to the point of utter insanity and chaos. Just the absence of Jesus in your life destroys that bond of love and decency that any other human being might have for one another. It doesn´t take years of torture and brain washing, or mandatory attendance of a Communist re-education camp for evil to be able to get command and control of one person´s mind and actions. Just the absence of good, or the complete void of Christianity, and a total abandonment of God in the life of one person can subject him to the control of evil. God does not do these things, but his absence will ensure calamity and malicious anarchy among us. We have to make a conscious effort to maintain God in our lives.

Within your own actions, the roots of evil are constantly trying to take hold on your mind and your life, on a daily basis. You have the responsibility to your own loved ones, to yourself, to your society, and to your entire nation to practice Christianity on a daily and regular basis. The influence of just one person can affect the lives of others, who are living in a weakened state of flux, a state of mind that can become twisted and diabolical at any moment. Protect others within your entire periphery of influence from evil by practicing Christian principles all the time. Pray constantly, memorize the scriptures, and let Bible reading and study be always on your mind. Remember the words of Jesus Christ in order to prevent the evil from taking root in your life. You never know when your actions and the presence of God will turn the tide of evil aside and let goodness prevail. Evil is always with us, in the news, on the internet, in your dreams, in your waking hours, in your conversations, and always trying to displace the presence of God with wickedness. There is not a single moment when evil does not try to insert itself into your business, your relationships, and your mental state.

Evil is the absence of God. So, let Jesus Christ constantly be your guide and your compass for the soul. With His Holy Spirit inside your soul at all times, touching the end of your fingertips within you, encompassing your total being and your reason for living, and never abandoning you regardless of your station or condition in life, you are safe from evil. First, correct the deficit within your own mind and let God be constantly present in your life. You will then be able to influence others and to change the entire world for good. Without the presence of God, school shootings and evil will become common practice. For evil to prevail, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing.

Luke 18:1

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;”

John 6:63

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

Romans 8:9 - 8:11

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
