I <strong>AM</strong> : M. M. Ninan<br />
Darkness - is not real. Darkness is the absence of light. Darkness is<br />
not the opposite of light. It is not a real entity. Evil is not a reality<br />
-- it is only a moral reality. It is lack of goodness. God did not<br />
create evil -- indeed by nature, he<br />
cannot.<br />
there?<br />
Then how come it is<br />
Evil is the misuse of<br />
ourselves, of things given to us,<br />
misuse of our privileges etc.<br />
Satan is not a negative God. God<br />
does not fight with Satan. Satan<br />
is an evil being -- a person who is<br />
evil. Satan is a creature of God who went against God and is the<br />
leader of the disobedient. Most of us have the mistaken notion that<br />
God has to fight Satan to defeat him. God does not have to. God<br />
wants us to defeat Satan because the evil is in us. We have to<br />
overcome it for ourselves.<br />
Evil is not a reality -- it is<br />
only a moral reality. It is<br />
lack of goodness.<br />
Rom 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The<br />
grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.<br />
James 1:13-14 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me."<br />
For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each<br />
one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and<br />
enticed.<br />
How do we defeat Satan? How do we bring light in dark place?<br />
You cannot remove it by hand. You have to bring light into that<br />
area. Bring God into all the areas of life so that evil is overcome.<br />
Satan is defeated when the Mafia leader Satan cannot get his way.<br />
