Introduction

We continue our study on the theology of victorious warfare. Today is the sixth lecture: "Even the demons submit to us." In our early days of ministry, whenever we cast out a demon, the excitement was palpable. You know that feeling. But why has that excitement faded today? Back then, we were thrilled, thinking we had done something right, that we had achieved some breakthrough. Later, we realized the truth: it was not because we did anything right, but because the Lord Jesus did it right.

Frankly, I was astonished. Look at ourselves. The reality is, we were a mess. When our church first began this journey of casting out demons, we were completely disunited. Can you comprehend that? The church was far from victorious. Yet, in those early days, we had immense audacity. There was a Chinese student who was possessed by a demon due to unrequited love. The police took her in and sent her to a psychiatric hospital. While she was waiting to be admitted, we gathered around her bed and prayed. She was snarling and grimacing—it was a grotesque, terrifying sight. Yet, through prayer, the demon was cast out.

After her admission, they examined her again. There was no mental illness; everything was perfectly normal. So she was discharged. I then arranged a job for her. I told her, "Stop this foolishness of unrequited love. Get a job and work like a normal person." But what happened? She could not let it go. It was an obsession. She went back to her old ways, even consulting some spiritual "master" to chant mantras. Consequently, she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital a second time. I went back there, into the reception room, and cast the demon out once more. At that time, I thought to myself, "I must be quite formidable."

But let us look at the facts. At that time, the church did not even have a prayer meeting. We were in a pathetic state. We were baffled: how could we, in our extreme weakness, cast out demons? And these were not minor spirits; they were formidable ones. The explanation is simple: God had already won the victory ahead of us. Do you understand this? This is why I find it absurd when people cast out demons and then tremble in fear, asking, "Will the demon come back to attack me?" I have met such people.

I never had that fear, and the demons never bothered me. What amazed me was this: we were so flawed, yet the demons did not destroy us. Why? We were useless, yet neither the demons nor God wiped us out. The first point is this: God goes before us to secure the victory. The second point is that even though God saw our wretched state, He did not destroy us. God is a God of salvation, not of destruction. Jesus Christ came to save. So, if you look at yourself today and feel inadequate, let me assure you, you are in a much better position than I was back then.

Later, the church went through major upheavals, and we transformed into a praying church. Shortly after that, a remarkable thing happened: every sick person we prayed for was healed. One after another, without exception. We were still astonished. What was the underlying cause? The reality is that Jesus Christ had already secured the victory for us long ago. Do you understand now? God goes before us. Remember, it was not because the Israelites were righteous that God brought them into the Promised Land. No. It was because the inhabitants of that land were utterly wicked, so God drove them out and established the Israelites there.

When I read the Scriptures, I realized there is a clear logic to this. Look at the twelve disciples Jesus chose. They were a mediocre bunch. Why choose such flawed men? Why not select the best, the brightest, the near-perfect to dominate the scene? But upon reflection, I realized God's wisdom. I said, "Lord, I thank You. Because You chose such flawed disciples, people as imperfect as us now have a chance." If God only selected the top academic scholars, where would that leave the rest of us?

Thank God, He does not recruit based on academic excellence. He chooses based on His grace, His mercy, and our trust in Him. The early disciples were highly flawed. Yet they returned exclaiming, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name!" Jesus must have thought, "What is there to boast about?" He had already dispatched the heavenly hosts to clear the path. Do you honestly believe that the moment you command a demon in Jesus' name, it leaves solely because of you? No. When you command in His name, the angels bind those spirits. The disciples simply could not see the spiritual reality.

Consider the seventy disciples. The Scriptures do not record any rigorous training program for them. What was their instruction? Carry no purse, no bag, no extra sandals, and no luggage. When you enter a town, if someone welcomes you, stay in their house and eat what is set before you. What kind of training is this? To live off the hospitality of strangers?

And if they do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet and move on. That was the extent of their training. Off they went. On the road, these seventy disciples must have had their doubts. If they were observant, they would have realized: "Those twelve apostles are quite ordinary. If Peter and the rest can do it, why not us?"

Others might have hesitated, thinking, "No, they are different. They are the twelve." In my vocabulary, they were just twelve "flawed apostles." Yet, off the seventy went. Some were half-hearted; others had faith no larger than a mustard seed. They went in a daze, yet they possessed a strange boldness. When they commanded the demons, to their utter amazement, it worked. The demons fled instantly. They were astonished at how easy it was.

Suddenly, the realization dawned on them: it does not matter if I am weak, as long as God is almighty. When the seventy returned, they were ecstatic. I understand that joy; it was exactly how we felt in our early days. When we first cast out a demon, we felt an immense sense of significance. We walked with a swagger, like a proud dog on a walk. Those seventy disciples were no different; they walked like victorious conquerors, practically leaping with joy. They had finally found their sense of worth. Even today, when someone casts out a demon, they shout, "Pastor, we have done something great!" I understand that feeling completely; we were once exactly like you. They returned saying, "Lord, even the demons submit to us!" and the next person would push him aside, saying, "Step aside, let me tell Him! The demon I cast out was even bigger than yours!"

They would queue up, arguing over who cast out the larger demon. But Jesus saw right through it. The reality is that God had already won the battle ahead of them. You think you are powerful? You are mistaken.

This is a matter of fundamental theology. Modern theology has turned things upside down, and we must correct this distortion. Today, theologians treat deliverance as some elite, monumental task, saying, "We are not ready; we should just stick to Bible study. You must reach a high level of holiness to cast out demons." This is nonsense. It is not what the Bible teaches.

Were the seventy holy? Even the twelve were far from holy. The twelve were flawed, and the seventy were even more so. As for us today, we are even more imperfect. But holiness is not the prerequisite here. The outcome does not depend on our perfection, because God has already secured the victory ahead of us. Do you understand? You think you are the one performing the work, but God has already laid the groundwork.

You walk along, you find a household that welcomes you and feeds you without you even asking. That is God's provision. You encounter a demon-possessed person. That, too, is God's setup. You shout, "In the name of Jesus, I bind you!" and the demon flees. God did all the heavy lifting beforehand. He set the stage and gave you a minor role to play, yet you walk away thinking you are the protagonist. The protagonist is Jesus Christ. Do not flatter yourself.

God allows you to experience this so that you realize the absolute reality of the spiritual realm. It is all orchestrated by Him. Later on, however, you will encounter demons that refuse to leave. We have all experienced this. Why did it work so easily before, but not now? Someone once asked me, "Pastor, what is the longest deliverance session you have conducted?" That question stumped me. The longest one is still ongoing today. Why is this so? It is because God is training our faith. I have absolute confidence; if there is one thing I can boast of, it is faith. But we must understand the underlying spiritual laws. How does a demon enter a person? It is linked to a curse. How does a curse come about? It comes from disobeying God's Word. Disobedience is sin, sin brings a curse, and a curse gives the demon a legal right to inhabit the person. Sin is the root cause.

In the process of deliverance, the curse must first be washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ, so that the sin is no longer counted against the person. Once the sin is removed, the demon loses its legal right to remain. When its presence becomes illegal, it is easily cast out. The logic is clear: the person must repent. They must desire deliverance. If a person refuses to be delivered and chooses to align with the demon, deliverance is impossible.

The flesh and worldly value systems are magnets for demonic oppression. We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Let us be clear: justification by faith does not mean you have become perfect. It means that because you believe in Jesus Christ, God accounts you as righteous. Why? To render the demon's presence illegal. The moment you rely on yourself, you cease to walk in righteousness, and the demon regains its legal tenancy. That is the cold, hard logic of the spiritual realm.

Therefore, if a person does not believe in the Lord, what is the point of casting out their demon? Just a few days ago, a sister called me in the middle of the night. Her ten-year-old grandnephew was being tormented by a demon and was terrified. I led her in prayer, but the demon did not budge. I realized something was wrong. I asked, "Who is this child?" She replied, "My nephew's son." I asked, "Do his parents believe in the Lord?" They did not. They knew nothing of repentance.

I told her this was highly dangerous. Even if we cast the demon out, it would return with seven spirits more wicked than itself, leaving the child in a worse state. Furthermore, why cast out a demon from someone who does not believe? They do not need perfect faith or total commitment immediately, but they must acknowledge the truth. For a minor, the parents are often the source of the demonic open door. When people live according to the flesh and establish their own righteousness, they invite demonic oppression. If you establish your own righteousness, you reject God's righteousness. Without the covering of the blood of Jesus, you are vulnerable. The logic is simple: trust in God, and the enemy cannot touch you. It is not because you have become perfect, but because of His grace. This is the essence of "the righteous shall live by faith." Through faith, the demon loses its foothold.

Therefore, deliverance is a process where curses are washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ. You might argue that at that point in the Gospels, Jesus had not yet gone to the cross. But even before the work was fully accomplished, Jesus declared His purpose on earth. He was drawing upon His pre-ordained victory. The ultimate victory was already predetermined. Do you understand this now?

Therefore, let me be absolutely clear with you. It is of paramount importance that we confront the unbelief within us and dismantle our carnal value systems. This is precisely why the Lord Jesus asked, "What are you rejoicing about?" Do not rejoice because the demons submit to you—that was My doing, was it not? Rather, rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

Let us ask ourselves a fundamental question today: Are our names written in heaven? Are they? If a person believes, what exactly do they believe? They believe the Word of God, not their own opinions. What did the Lord Jesus achieve through His death, burial, and resurrection? He put the flesh to death. We must all walk this path of putting the flesh to death. Do not be astonished by the casting out of demons; that is a straightforward matter. Rejoice instead that your names are written in heaven. This is the theology of victorious warfare.

Scripture

The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!" He said to them, "I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." (Luke 10:17-20)

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You. We thank You for conferring such authority upon us. Lord Jesus, we thank You for shedding Your blood, dying, being buried, and rising from the dead to secure all authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Today, we thank You for delegating this authority to us, enabling us to tread upon serpents and scorpions, to overcome every power of the enemy, and ensuring that nothing can harm us.

Lord, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude. We praise and thank You because You have paved a concrete path of victory for us. We shall overcome not only the devil and his forces, but also every lie he unleashes. Let us not only command the submission of demons, but also, by Your power, put to death the deeds of the flesh, so that our names are permanently recorded in heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Background of the Scripture

There is an intriguing context to this passage. Luke Chapter 10 begins with the words, "After this." What exactly does "this" refer to? What had transpired? Prior to this, the twelve disciples had gone out to cast out demons, and they did a competent job. Following their return from healing the sick and casting out demons, Jesus demonstrated something profound to them. What was it? The feeding of the five thousand with five loaves and two fish.

I asked myself: What was Jesus doing here? He was establishing a fundamental reality. He was showing them that while they cast out demons, their daily sustenance was already fully provided for. He eliminated all their anxieties about survival. Do you understand this? Food, drink, daily necessities—none of these should concern you. Survival is actually a very straightforward matter. After feeding them, He took Peter, John, and James up the mountain for the Transfiguration.

There, they opened their eyes and saw Jesus, Moses, and Elijah conversing. Peter, completely missing the point, said to Jesus, "Let us put up three shelters here." Why stop at three? Why not six? If you build only three, where are the disciples supposed to sleep? It was completely nonsensical talk.

Yet, the Transfiguration was meant to show them glory. First, He showed them His authority; then, the miracle of provision; and finally, His glorious state. And then what? They descended the mountain. At the bottom, they encountered a man severely tormented by a demon. Jesus rebuked the demon. Why? Because His disciples had failed to cast it out.

This is highly peculiar, is it not? They could cast out some demons and were very pleased with themselves. Why did they fail this time? Jesus lamented, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?" It was a failure of faith. Let me share what I learned from this. When deliverance works, people rejoice; when it fails, they get depressed. Is that not true? But that is the wrong attitude. A failure is simply a test of faith.

Let me speak to you with absolute candor. Healing the blind or the lame is relatively straightforward. The real challenge is removing the stubborn, hard-headed mindsets—the "mental blocks"—in your brains. If an unbeliever comes to us with an open mind, healing happens rapidly. But for believers, especially those who have experienced healing and then backslid, it is far more difficult. Why? Because it is extremely hard to break their stubborn mindsets. Do you understand? Then Jesus predicted His death. Later, the disciples saw someone else casting out demons in Jesus' name and tried to stop him. Jesus said, "Do not stop him." What does this mean? It means the more people operating in His authority, the better. This authority is not an exclusive monopoly; it is readily available to those who seek it.

Following this, He appointed seventy others. Jesus observed that the harvest was plentiful, but the laborers were few. The demand was overwhelming—so many were oppressed by demons. Sending seventy was just the beginning; even sending seven hundred, seven thousand, or seventy thousand would not be too many.

His instructions to them were stark: "Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves." This sounds absurd, does it not? Lambs among wolves. How can a lamb survive such an environment? Logically, it cannot. Yet, these seventy disciples went out as lambs among wolves and returned safely. How?

He told them to carry no money bag, no knapsack, no sandals, and to greet no one on the road. Whichever house they entered, they were to pronounce peace. If a worthy person was there, peace would rest on them; if not, it would return. They were to remain in that house, eating and drinking what was provided, for the laborer deserves his wages. They were not to move from house to house.

Whichever town they entered and were welcomed, they were to eat what was set before them, heal the sick, and declare that the Kingdom of God had come near. If they were not welcomed, they were to go into the streets and wipe the very dust of that town from their feet as a testimony, warning them that the Kingdom of God was nevertheless near. This was the operational mandate.

What is the lesson here? Do not worry about provisions. God has not only prepared the targets for deliverance and the authority to execute it, but He has also secured your food and drink. Everything is pre-arranged. The preceding miracle of the five loaves and two fish proves this. Do you honestly believe your daily bread is solely the result of your own labor? It is not; it is God's provision. God provides everything, culminating in the ultimate reality of heavenly glory.

This is the background of their mission. Sending lambs among wolves means that even as a lamb, the authority in your hands is superior to the power of the wolves. The wolves cannot defeat the lamb. Not because the lamb is inherently strong, but because God is with the lamb, granting authority to tread on serpents and scorpions.

When these disciples went out, they were astonished. They entered homes and were treated to excellent hospitality, akin to staying in a five-star hotel. Their sandals did not wear out, their clothes did not get dirty, and they had free food and lodging. It was an extraordinary business trip. They traveled light, with no money or spare clothes, yet they lacked nothing because the authority they carried was immense. If I were one of them, I would have returned and said, "Lord Jesus, what a magnificent trip! No money, no food, no extra clothes, yet everything was provided." The disciples might have taken the physical provision for granted, but the immediate results of casting out demons—commanding spirits and seeing them flee—were too obvious to ignore. That is why they returned in high spirits.

Jesus' response was profound. He said, "I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you." This is a powerful truth. If the enemy had the power to harm us, I would have been destroyed long ago. We deal with all kinds of demons; if they were truly powerful, they would have finished me off by now. But they cannot.

In other words, God has handed you the ultimate imperial sword of heavenly authority. You can tread on serpents and scorpions and overcome all the power of the enemy. Nothing can harm us. This statement by Jesus is critical. It is not based on your personal perfection. Today, people tell you that you are not holy enough to cast out demons. If you wait until you are perfectly holy, you will end up in an urn—that is the only time you will be completely incapable of sinning. This religious mindset must be completely overturned.

We must eliminate these mental blocks. Do not think you must be perfect before you can walk in victory. It is precisely because we are flawed that we need to overcome. We do not seek victory because we are good; we need this authority because we are weak and need to triumph. God is marching ahead of us, not lagging behind. He leads us from the front and guards us from the rear.

Cast aside all anxieties. Stop establishing your own righteousness and seek only the righteousness of God. Our God does not bless us because we are perfect, but despite our flaws, He bestows these incredible gifts upon us. He did not just give us authority; He demonstrated that five loaves and two fish can feed five thousand, and He commanded the seventy to travel without money bags, spare clothes, or luggage.

You might ask, "Surely they brought some spare undergarments?" No, they did not. Did they wear borrowed ones? I do not know. But the point is, even the smallest details were taken care of. Imagine arriving at a stranger's home with nothing. After a few days, wouldn't things get unpleasant? Yet, perhaps the host had just purchased a brand-new pack that fit perfectly.

I say this to illustrate a fundamental truth: everything was provided. Do you understand? Everything—food, drink, and daily necessities. Our God is a God of total provision, supplying both authority and physical needs. This is magnificent. Satan has been cast down. Our Lord Jesus died, was buried, and rose again. We possess this authority not because we are good, but because our God is good. Our church has survived to this day not because of our own greatness, but because of God's provision. He has prepared everything. Now, get on with the work.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, mark these words—they carry immense weight: Do not rejoice because the demons submit to you, or because people welcome you, or because you enjoyed five-star treatment on your journey. Rejoice because your names are written in heaven. This is a profound charge. Since God has provided everything for us, is it not our duty to dedicate our entire lives to Him?

We must dedicate ourselves entirely to God. We must no longer live for ourselves, but for our Lord Jesus! Stop living for self, stop establishing your own self-righteousness, stop inviting demonic oppression, and stop relying on the foolishness of the flesh. Stop being self-righteous and argumentative. Offer yourselves completely. My name must be written in heaven!

No matter how much grievance you suffer, it is of no consequence. What matters is that your name is recorded in heaven. These grievances are merely God's training ground to test whether you will fall into the trap of judging good and evil. Thank God, we have already secured this supreme portion. If you hold the authority to subjugate demons, what else could you possibly lack? Absolutely nothing.

Therefore, conquer yourself today. Make no mistake: the carnal mind is hostile to God. To be carnally minded is death. Dealing with the flesh is a tough, gritty business. It is powerful, and it sets itself against God. You must rely on the Spirit of God to put to death the deeds of the body and master yourself. I once preached a sermon titled Exorcising Oneself. In the end, after casting out this and that, we must cast out our own self-will. We must deal with this body of death. It is a sobering reality.

You cannot allow your flesh to corrupt you any longer. Do not permit self-destruction. Act according to God’s Word, not your personal preferences. What value do your preferences have? None at all. Stop living for yourself. Live for the Lord. May God work in us to take every thought captive. By His immense grace, He will bring our minds into submission to Christ.

Satan Falling from Heaven Like Lightning

This is the foundation. Satan has been defeated. Make no mistake about it—Jesus Christ defeated him. How? Through absolute submission. In the Garden, Jesus prayed with sweat like drops of blood. He said, "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me." You too have a bitter cup to drink. But He chose obedience: "Not My will, but Yours be done." If God commands it, we drink it. That is victory. Is it painful? Yes. Is it hard work? Extremely hard. Look at the disciples—they were a mess. It was agonizing for Jesus. Walking to the cross was brutal.

The scourging was brutal—flesh torn, bones exposed. Yet, He submitted. That is how you crush Satan. In this world, victory does not come cheap. It comes from the painful process of putting the flesh to death. Jesus had a physical body, and He crucified it. It was agonizing.

We must pray the same prayer: "Father, if possible, take this cup. Yet, not my will, but Yours be done." This is spiritual warfare. This is how you win. If you do this, not only will demons submit to you, but your own flesh will submit. Your spirit will take command, and your flesh will be subjugated.

Most of our worries are trivial—petty, insignificant matters. Are we arguing over underwear, or a few loaves and fish? We must put the flesh to death completely. If you indulge the flesh, you will reap corruption. But if you walk by the Spirit, victory is guaranteed.

Our Lord died, was buried, and rose again. If we follow the path He forged, we will reign in heavenly places. For that glorious destiny—that supreme portion—we must defeat Satan. Jesus has paved the way of victory, and through it, we inherit absolute authority.

Authority Has Been Given to You

The authority given to the seventy disciples was born out of victory. Jesus won it, and we draw from His triumph. But you cannot bypass the crucifixion of your flesh. To pamper the flesh is to align with the enemy. Satan’s primary strategy is to indulge your flesh. Let that sink in.

If your mind is set on human concerns, you are in trouble. Satan loves to make you feel self-righteous, turning you into an ungrateful person who shifts blame onto everyone else. Yet, authority has been given to you to trample on snakes and scorpions. Why? To show us the weight of our glorious calling, our glorious destiny. When the seventy tested this authority, they were astonished. It drove them to seek ultimate victory and have their names written in heaven. This authority is not based on our merit, but on God’s sheer goodness. Armed with this sovereign sword, we can command the spiritual realm.

In the spiritual realm, defeating the enemy's strongholds is straightforward. We will overcome every obstacle. God will make our name great. Our church is known for deliverance, but our Mingding Doctrine is not limited to that. Our ultimate goal is to have our names written in heaven. By the Spirit, we trample on demonic forces, liberate the captives, and bring our own minds into captivity to Christ. That is true victory.

Power Over All the Ability of the Enemy

Where does the devil’s power lie? It lies in deception. How many lies have you believed? We must stop taking the path of unnecessary suffering. The enemy's strength is built on lies. Take fear, for example. The spirit of fear is weak, yet it paralyzes you with a single lie. What are you afraid of? You have been given power over all the ability of the enemy, and that power is anchored in the Word of God.

How did Jesus defeat Satan? When tempted, He declared: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." That is the power to overcome. If you know the Word and act on it, you will not waste time judging good and evil or wallowing in self-pity.

I was reflecting on 2 Corinthians. Paul said we are not ignorant of the devil's schemes. To counter them, he used gentleness to win back the Corinthians. He spoke of being the aroma of Christ—to some, the aroma of death; to others, the aroma of life. His words were measured, but they carried immense weight.

Understand this: God has given us power over all the enemy's ability. The enemy's leverage is your flesh and his lies. If Jesus has provided everything we need—not just deliverance, but our daily sustenance—what can the enemy do to us? Cast aside your anxieties. Too often, people sacrifice substance for the sake of "face." That is foolish. We must expose the enemy's lies; they have no power over us.

Nothing Shall by Any Means Hurt You

Who can harm you? You are lambs sent among wolves, yet you are secure. The wolves' teeth and tactics cannot touch you. Why? Because you hold absolute authority. A wolf may see a tender lamb and prepare to strike, but an invisible barrier stops it cold.

The wolf is baffled; it cannot get close. The lamb remains untouched, protected as if by an invisible shield. That shield is the power of God. You have the power to overcome the wolf's teeth, the enemy's schemes, and every serpent and scorpion.

Or perhaps the wolf's jaw is locked, unable to bite. For God, neutralizing the enemy is a simple matter. Do you believe that nothing can harm you? If you do, you will stop trying to protect yourself. Whether in the workplace or elsewhere, do not worry. Trust in Christ.

Let me tell you a practical truth: if you engage in deliverance, your professional performance will improve. One sister managing online influencers noticed that when she systematically prayed and cast out demons for her team, their emotional instability vanished, and operations ran smoothly. If you want results in the physical world, deal with the spiritual forces first. Conquer the enemy, and the rewards will follow.

Nothing shall by any means hurt you. Stop trying to protect yourself. If God cannot protect a lamb, He is not God. Fear and anxiety must be banished. Walk boldly on this path of victory. Our God is a victorious God, and our theology is a theology of warfare and triumph, not of human strength.

Rejoice That Your Names Are Written in Heaven

Remember God’s objective. It is not to give you a cheap thrill from casting out a few demons, nor is it to boost your ego. His objective is to have your name written in heaven. How do you achieve this? By laying down your self-will. People love to say, "I want to be myself, to be unique." That is not wisdom; it is foolishness. You must surrender your self-will.

When men offered to follow Jesus, He laid down the hard terms. To one, He said, "Foxes have holes, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." To another who wanted to bury his father first, He said, "Let the dead bury their own dead; go and preach the kingdom of God." To the one who wanted to say goodbye to his family, He warned, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

People are paralyzed by endless worries and personal attachments, never truly living for Christ. They fail to realize that victory requires self-denial. If you indulge the flesh and establish your own righteousness, you face destruction. We must rely on the Holy Spirit for self-correction, rather than pointing fingers and shifting blame.

If you waste your energy blaming others, the consequences will eventually land squarely on your own shoulders. The Son of Man did not come to destroy lives, but to save them, that we might inherit eternal life. Therefore, choose the path of faith. Stop living by your own will; live by the will of God. Amen. May God bless you all.
