The Accuser
Who is the accuser?
In islam, judaism and christianity we read about Satan, he is God's enemy and an fallen angel, if you have read the part where we go into the fact about religion and holyness we aknowledge that there are things humans can not see, but we can sence it. Since we now appreciate the fact there's something we call holy, therefore we have to (regardless) admit there are even something we call (d)evil.
How do we know there are an accuser?
First off all; this being a fact and not just fiction is so overvelming you migth not beleive it. And that why Satans brilliant move (in my opinion) is to convince humans he doesn't exist. In that way he and his fellow demons may be able to do their work (almost) without resistance in our time of history. If you look into church and other history for one or two centuries ago you will find people being genuin concerned about the fact we have a powerfull enemy whom affects us in many ways. Today we seem to be embarrased while only mentioning the topic, and that even goes for being religious and speaking about God in public. The secularisationprosess are about to get a decent grip in the western world.
Anyhow, I beleive once again this is the accuser doing a "good job", you migth wonder why I choose to use the name "the accuser"?
I have to admit the name is related to the last revelation I had about the christianity in general. I seem to learn about this topics the hard and in an experianced way at the same time, I may say this because I suddenly realized Satans' work on me hit me in the fysical way. In other words I've been in a long period of time with fysical injuries and pain (details are not important, but it's a fact).
"There is a real and open channel between God and Satan"
I was reading a theology book from 1949, the book was written for explaining the content in the book of Revelation. At the same time I learned how it explained the fact about God being honest in his way of treating us having one flause (though it's logic in a sence) which Satan of course choose to take advantage of; when you, me and everybody else do something wrong we all have a huge problem. Since there are actually an open channel between God and Satan, we'll all stand corrected by; Satan and his demons, and this makes us suffer in one or many different ways.
This even means it's not God judging you when you stay away from him, it's you inviting the accuser because you choose to act in "his way"and he will make you suffer because Satan (in fact) hates human beings and espesially christians.
Even if God doesn't like this he can't to anything about the situation. Remember from the theory "Objective doctrine of atonement" by Anselm where we see God using the justified system because he in fact is the definition truth. In other words; God created truth and can't go back on it. It's hard to wrap our heads around this, but in short: anger and all the negativety comes from the accuser and his demons and they are "in the rigth" while using those as actions against you. When we think of it we can thank ourselves for "inviting" him and his evil actions against us, because it's you, me and everyone else not being able to keep ourselves to Gods ways and therefore we need to face the consequences.
So how to deal with the accuser and this situation?
I had to take a new round with my selfreflection and search myself in a thoroughly manner, finding out I wasn't clean of sinning at all.
Three years after my redemtion I walked around thinking I was "clean", but no I was not. My problem? My mouth and words comming out of it. Because the words coming out was about other people. I couldn't "help myself" pointing out what I thougth about other peoples behavior, and my intensions were correct (actually), but I was corrected for it anyway. I had to make a choice; Is it worth talking about other peoples behaviour and face the consequences being corrected by the accuser? For me the answer was easy; not at all.
New life with new rules
Today I keep my mouth shut when it comes to negativity, on the news or in family affairs I just shut up. Reminding myself it's not my business what other people do or say. If someone ask me, I say; "It's not my business" or "I don't like talking other people down". There are many ways avoiding this, and it's actually quiet easy. I'm just being honest about it; "I wanna stay close to God, therefore I try to stay away from negativity". Don't beleive for a second I'm trying to blame the Accuser for what happened to me, it's definetely all my fault since I opened myselves up for him. I "gave myselves" to him in those situations and therefore I needed to face the consequenses.
Search yourselves and find your weakness
A new task for you is to search yourselves again, are you "clean" or does the accuser have something on you?
Remember Satan is extremely good in what he does, he know you and all your weaknesses. It's your weaknesses he'll use against you.
So search yourselves; are you proud, jealous, envy, angry, bitter, cocky or do you tag along when people talk behind others backs? (like I did). The list is long for the accuser to pick from. If you wanna make this work you really need to be honest with yourself, but if you're not? Well, just wait and see. He'll get you.
If you don't beleive me, just live "normal" and see how it works out.
