Satan's Best Tools

I have repeatedly said that Satan’s best tools that he uses against us are fear, anger, and hatred.  I can’t put it in any more simple terms than this.  I could be sharing here all that I read, see, and hear, but the fact is that my experiences in life for the past 23 years have all been filtered through my one experience with my Angels.  They took from me all these negative emotions and replaced these negative emotions with one VERY positive emotion, which is Peace.  I do NOT experience in life the same emotions that most everyone does.  It may seem to some that I live with a great deal of faith, but that in fact, what most people call faith, which is believing, I live with KNOWING.  But this knowledge I have from my Angels will be perceived by those who don’t know me and my experience with my Angels simply as living with a great deal of faith.

What then did my Angels do for me that night that I am unable to do for others?  I don’t live with these negative emotions.  I can worry about what people think in regard to most anything I do or even wondering if they will think I am sane or not, but the fact is, when it comes to my relationship with God, I NEVER worry about what God thinks about what I either do or don’t do.  I have NEVER had a problem with God.  But how I transfer this knowledge of knowing God to others has been a puzzle to me for all my adult life.  I have been asked HOW I acquired this knowledge I claim to have about God.  Some people seem to be born with knowledge that others never seem to acquire.  I can’t say why this is, particularly in my case.  Our lives are constantly being affected by the decisions made by people.  We tend to think that God somehow uses people to punish us for our sins.  God doesn’t work that way.  Satan uses anger, fear, and hatred to work against every one of us whose lives in some way are touched by others.  These are the emotions in others that can do harm to us. 

Very frankly, I avoid people as much as I am able.  But no man is  an island and no person can live lives untouched by others.  As someone once explained to me, life is all about our relationships with others.  From the moment we enter into this world, our lives are constantly touched in some way by the decisions others make.  It begins with our parents and continues all through life with every person with whom we have some kind of a relationship, whether those relationships are love related, work related, church related, and even our nationalities.  Our lives are interwoven.  Interspersed with our lives are the people that love us and perhaps to some degree, the people that hate us the most.  We can’t avoid people.  So, instead of worrying about how we believe people will respond to us, our only concerns are for ourselves.  How we respond to others, often is a reelection that comes back on us.  Do we then sow seeds of peace, or do we allow Satan to use his tools against us.  The only way we can live is to NOT worry about what God thinks of us and only worry about how we live that reflects God in our lives to others.  I say then that seeds of Peace will sow Peace.  But it’s up to us to make that a constant decision every moment of every day.  There will be those who will say that if my Angels are my reality, then my reality is very different.  I can’t help this.  I don’t live my life as if I am called, but I live knowing I am chosen.  And since I am one of a very few, I really can’t relay to others how to live their lives.  I am different and this is something I know too.  Peace.  I am Brother Ralphie writing for my Angels from The Angels of Life Institute.
