We know and love and quote passages like
- John 3:16
- Do unto others
- God is no respecter of persons
But we become squeamish on
- Romans 16:17
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. KJV
- Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. KJV

Just to wear you out
Satan came as a serpent in Eden
- Acts 16:16-18
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination(Putho, Python, Delphi) met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved,(root meaning anguish, to toil for daily subsistence, to starve) turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. KJV
· Death – not a bite but squeezing pressure
· Poison – roots of bitterness not a bite
§ Satan cannot kill you but the poison he leaves if left unchecked will
Time to be free from that thing
- Mark 16:17-18
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18.They shall take up(loose, make to doubt, put away, remove)serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. KJV
• I am cutting off your access to my life
• Jesus walked through the crowd and they were not able to catch Him
Don’t allow them to make you king of their drama!
• Though He loved them all the same not all had the same access to Him.
