Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:16
So, if God did not judge Haiti. how could this have happened? Again, Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) and that is exactly what happened and is continuing to happen there.
Satan has left his calling card, he is the guilty party, period! How do we deal with this? First things first, you pray for the people in Haiti. Second, go help with the rescue work if you can. And finally, if you can not help, give to help those organizations on the ground that are there now. Here are a couple of great choices:
Samaritan’s Purse– lead by Franklin Graham or the American Red Cross, I know there are many other places/charities to give, but my point is, if you can not go, help those that can.
Satan has been defeated by Jesus, but he has not been vanquished to the Lake of Fire. That presents a problem for us here, we must continue to do battle with Satan. The $20,000 question most ask is, how? I thought you would never ask. (This is not a complete list but a great start)
How to defeat Satan
-
Submit yourself to God (1st), resist the devil (2nd), then he will flee. (James 4:7)
-
Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)
-
Blood of the Lamb, word of your testimony and a sacrificial life. (Revelation 12:11)
-
Your words have power, faith filled words speak life or death. Speak death to the lies of the enemy. (Proverbs 18:21)
So what does this have to do with Haiti? Satan can only destroy where he has been invited in. Satan goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) He can not devour at will, he has to have an invitation. Enter Voodoo, do you think it is a coincidence that Voodoo has such a strong hold in Haiti? This is nothing more than a door for Satan to walk through.
Pray for the people of Haiti, but pray that the Truth will come and set the people free.
Until next time, remember: You overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony, and by becoming a living sacrifice. Revelation 12:11
