WHAT IS NOT OF GOD IS OF SATAN

    Look at it this way.  Satan loves to imitate God.  He is the Master Deceiver, and will do anything to draw us away from the Truth!
    God gives His children gifts - right?  On the other hand, Satan bestows his gifts - lust, greed, resentment, etc. to his demons.  That, I believe, is why we get the terms "spirit of Lust," "spirit of Greed," etc.
    So often truths of the Bible are stated differently by each believer.  For example, the word 'anointed' may be stated by another believer as  'chosen for a purpose.'  Us fellow believers all end up reacting negatively to each other by overreacting that the other may not be claiming it strong enough because they don't use the word 'anointed' or whether anointed seems like someone is heading off the deep end.  However, if we really searched what the person really meant with the words used, you'd find that in the spirit realm they think no different than you!
    I have a friend in Australia.  If I had not sought the Holy Spirit's guidance in understanding this truth I just shared, we would not be friends now!  Praise God I did seek His clarity on this as she is one of my most godly friends I have in Christ!
    In Australia, when they greet you they say "How are you going?"  In America, we say "How are you doing?"   Both mean the same thing!  Even the use of the word "allow" is different as I have learned!  Australians believe it means God is actually causing something to happen, where Americans are just using the word to say that God is stepping back and letting a person endure something hard.
    One more thing, the word, "Fanny," is a bad word to Australian culture!  So make sure your fanny pack does not say 'fanny' when you go on your trip to Australia!  However, my friend really wanted one that says it just for kicks.   However, I never found one...
 We must be careful not to over-react to other believers who speak in different terms than us. The only time we need to be concerned is when the Word of God is being twisted or added to.
