Mercy Has Many Faces

 It is mercy to shake what can be shaken. 

If followers of the Messiah have become drawn away by the "riches" this age has to offer, it is mercy to remove them.

The, intelligent evil, described as principalities and powers in this evil age, have four unchanging strategies. 

 Plant questions about the truth that God has revealed. 

Distract followers of the Messiah with the lust of the flesh.

Distract followers of the Messiah with the lust of the eyes.

Distract followers of the Messiah with the pride of life.

Humility that trusts God, His heart, His kindness, His faithfulness is key.

Seeing the truth that everything in this evil age is temporary and passing away is key.

Seeing, with gratitude, the great mercy shown to gentiles to be included in the family of His chosen people is key.
