Finally decided to write something here after a month plus. Well, many things had happened, and my spiritual walk had been up and down. Just when I thought I would sense God much clearly before I leave for Taiwan, it turned out to be otherwise. For a month plus, I could not hear or sense Him clearly and closely as I did before that. But it didn't seem like God has forsaken me and I know He will not. Perservering through it, keeping the hope that He is with me and will lead me through, I've made it to Taiwan.
Upon reaching Taiwan, somehow things started to change. Day by day i felt closer to God, for I have no one here to depend on but Him. It seems like the previous experience I had was a deception from satan that I am distant from God and leading me from glorifying God. God spoke and affirmed His faithfulness through Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you He will not fail you or forsake you." and Hebrews 13:5 "Let your manner of living be without covetousness, and be content with such things as ye have. For He hath said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee". Testimonies followed after I am led closer to Him again. I have then learned from Him many things which I have been blinded from.
Our bodies, actions and thoughts, they can be a tool to do great things or evil. Satan like to deceive us using words in our minds like "I am, I will be, ...". Often he led us to sin and then putting thoughts into our mind like "I am sinful.." Just like Paul mentioned in Romans 7:15-25, "Now if I do that which I would not do, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Our bodies are tools to the spiritual realm. Our soul chooses to seve either the good or the evil.
Now then, temptations. It is like a rotten apple dipped in chocolate: appealing to the eyes, destruction for our bodies, assuming the body is the soul. Last word, by the fear of the Lord, one departs from evil.
