Wise As A Serpent
In order to illustrate how the enemy works I will give you a hypothetical illustration. Say a black man, a white man and a woman share the same house. A good man comes along and says,"You guys are awesome, you live in love and unity in spite of your differences". Then the good man leaves and time goes by and they forget what the good man said. Then a bad man comes along and gives the black man some money and says, "Those guys don't like you because you are black", and gets him all stirred up and says, "you need to fight for your rights because you are being treated unfairly". He gives the white man some money and says, "They don't like you because you are white", he gets him all stirred up and says, "You need to fight for your rights, because you are being treated unfairly". He gives the woman some money and says, "They don't like you because you are a woman". He gets her all stirred up and says, "You need to fight for your rights because you are being treated unfairly". Then he gives them some time to destroy each other so he can come back and buy the house for cheap. The good man comes back and sees how they are destroying each other and says, "You have been played, can't you see that the bad man doesn't care about you, all he wants is to buy your house for cheap". They then all turn on the good man and say, "You're wrong, he was there when I needed money and he gave me the courage to fight for my rights".
Isaiah 14:12 says How you are fallen from heaven,
Isaiah 14:12 says How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
Jesus said that a house divided against it's self can not stand. God has made us uniquely wonderful because God loves uniqueness. Every diamond is unique and That is why they are so precious. I Peter 2:4 says
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in ZionJesus said that a house divided against it's self can not stand. God has made us uniquely wonderful because God loves uniqueness. Every diamond is unique and That is why they are so precious. I Peter 2:4 says
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”They stumble, being disobedient to the word,to which they also were appointed.
9But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light.
God created us to be a collective Temple/Body to dwell in. We are members of the same body and stones of the same Temple.
