TheoErotic

If you are saved by Jesus and born again, you are a new creation in Him. You are an Alien to this planet. With your home being in a dimension far far away. Sent out through time and space to bring a message across the great divide.

If you listen to the Bible you ARE a super hero, more than a conqueror (Rom 8:37 ), always at the top and never at the bottom (Deut 28:13), Successful in all we do (Ps 1:3 ), Able to do all things ([bible]Phil 4:13[/bible] ) and much, much more. IF we decide to abide in Him and bind his law upon our hearts, meditate on it day and night. Our super powers include, but are not limited to exorism, healing (Mark 16:17-18 ), Prophesy, Visions (Joel 2:28 ), speaking languages we never heard (Mark 16:17), Feats of strength (Judges 14:6 ), raising the dead (Acts 20:7-12 ).

But all this only when we are on the battle field (Remember what happened to Spiderman when he decide not to fight evil, his powers where no longer needed so they drained away), armed and armored with the full armor of God (Eph 6:10-18 ) Salvation, righteousness, faith, truth, readiness and the sword of the spirit the word of God, the message we are to bring.

Now like all Super heroes we have an arch enemy (John 10:10 ) Who has come to destroy us. His weapon is sin. Sin is our Kryptonite, When a super man is confronted with Kryptonite he becomes weak, looses all his powers and is unable to act. Kryptonite is small and can be smuggled into our pockets and boots in tiny bits, just like secret thoughts brought on to the battlefield. When we sin (even if it is only in our thoughts) We loose our breastplate and we are open to attack, further more we get discouraged and tend to look at our own frailty and thereby loose our shield. We become drawn back and reluctant to join the battle and thus loose our place in the frontline.

We need to be on constant watch for sin and battle it wherever we might find it in our own life and in our fellow believers life so that we can form a formidable fighting unit, a justice league, fighting evil wherever it rears it’s ugly head.
