“For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)”
Romans 5:17 KJV

Wow! Jesus has given us an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness! But, for some reason, we are still beating around the bush! We run to satan for the things God has already given to us. It's like having everything but taking someone else's, who doesn't have everything. This is a bit like the story the prophet Nathan told: “And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.”
2 Samuel 12:1-4 KJV

We shouldn't go to satan for things God provides us. This is because we want ready-made things all the time, but it doesn't happen this way. This is how satan easily traps us, catches us and cages us. Many of our problems begin from unforgiveness and bitterness. We can aim to forgive, but inside we've done nothing. You must have an inside love, which can only come from God, to forgive. So, if you are not a REAL Christian, you cannot love. You cannot show REAL Jesus love! Forgive, with the Holy Spirit, and you can achieve mighty things in Christ!
