1-25-09 "I Gotcha Where I Wantcha."

Yep, another one I'd held back for a while but it's coming together. Here it is, "I got ya where I want ya and want ya where I got ya."

There'll be a time when Satan thinks that way and wants to call checkmate. So, don't let his scratchin zombie claw get into your twilight zone. Let's start with Psalm 37:18-19 "The days of the blameless are known to the Lord, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster, they will not wither; in days of famine, they will enjoy plenty."

Just like the chorus of Disturbed's "Prayer", life won't always be easy, we will be tested. Even in 1 Tim. 4:1, "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons." I also put up in a blog from "The Purpose Driven Life" that once we become saved, Satan, like Agent 47, will accept a contract for our hit. That is, even before, he still wanted to bring us away and assume checkmate.

As in chess, the King will always have at least one more move, God won't call "Checkmate" just because there's nowhere else to go. Don't listen to Satan's taunting, making you declare checkmate. Let's not forget how he tempted Jesus for the 40 days. After all that, Jesus still came out strong and never gave in. An hour, day or two is one thing, but try 40 days. So, in the end, Satan may just say, "I got ya where I want ya. You failed at everything-your life, job, happiness, even at you faith. CHECKMATE!" Don't listen to them and either ignore it or recite some verses to annoy him.
