Who or what influences you? - be-014
Are you being influenced—or are you choosing the right influence?
Let’s take a look from the 30,000-foot view. In life, we’re constantly influenced by four sources: people, spirits, ourselves, and, of course, God. But from that higher perspective (30,000 ft), it really comes down to just two spiritual influences: God and a spirit known as satan.
When it comes to these two, the decision by choice is ultimately ours. Will we follow God—or satan? Our decision is based on the information we have and what we choose to believe. It comes down to the Bible (Word of God) or the word of man/satan.
Now, if you’re still with me, you’re doing great. Here’s where it gets deeper:
These two influencers approach us very differently.
God influences us through love, truth, and He respects our will and gives us the power to choose. This MAKES us free. It is written.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you free.

satan, on the other hand, influences us through hate, deception, and manipulation. he has no regard for our free will—and once he gets a hold of our life, he aims to take all freedom away. The word is called bondage.
FINAL OBJECTIVE
God's objective is to save his creation called man; OUT OF LOVE.
satan's objective is to destroy God's creation called man; out of hate.
The next time you have to make a decision, small or big, ask yourself this, what would God want me to do? Hint: Read His word to find out.
Your decisions will determine your final destination.
