Before It All Began.
Believe it or not, while my parents were on earth I had never thought about the devil. Why? I didn’t need to. However, there was something about watching 3 members of my family being put in the ground that suddenly expanded the focus or bandwidth of my attention. When you experience death you wake up to the reality of evil not as some far fetched concept or idea but up close as a reality of this phase of our existence. My father was buried last and thankfully so because my tolerance for pain needed to be built up to that final crescendo. I remember hearing myself shout in that moment because even though I knew it was coming I still wasn’t prepared. What does your family’s funeral have to do with the devil Honey? Good question. I’m explaining to you the moment that the work of his hands became vivid in my psyche. When I read of the serpent’s scam of my grand parents in the garden of Eden until this point in my life it always felt distant to me, but on that day, standing in the compound of a house my father had just completed building and having no option but to put him in the ground beneath it, that story became very real to me. How? When GOD said “you shall surly die in the day that you eat it” I bet the fact that grandma eve had a very long life may have skewed that statement for a while but in the moments that she buried her son Abel and the one where she drew her final breath God’s words must have come alive and the magnitude of what she had been conned out of by the devil must have hit her like a ton of bricks. This nigga (the devil) knew that she and her family (aka us) would start to experience death from the act he tricked her into doing and still he did it. All these years later I had to experience the pain of the sting of his scam in 3 doses. That is not nothing to me. What that means is before the devil happened to my human family we all had eternal life, death was only introduced to our paradigm because of the devil and for that, he must pay. Since then I have done a great deal of learning about this shadowy nigga and in this blog I will attempt to show you reader a portion of what I have gathered and try to describe the conclusion I have since come to about this guy. This post could easily be titled when you finally become your enemy’s enemy. Let’s begin.
“And I will put enmity (open hostility) Between you and the woman,
GOD speaking IN GENESIS 3:15
And between your seed (offspring) and her [a]Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, And you shall [only] bruise His heel.”
Thou shalt endeavor to know thy enemy. Even better if you know things he doesn’t even know about himself. How you ask? Well, the PERSON who made him is on the inside of you.
