Drop that bat!

Someone is trying to hand you something . . . . 


Satan is a liar and an accuser. And he knows something very important about you.



He knows that you accuse yourself just as much as he accuses you!


So satan stands by and calmly holds that bat, your bat, in his hand. He has no intention of ever hitting you with it. He simply from time to time says, "Excuse me, ma'am (or sir), you seem to have dropped your bat."

The next time you hear that voice; don't take the bat from his hands. It's at this point when many 'feel' that they are hearing God speak. Many believe God must be convicting them of the sinfulness. But it's not God's voice they are hearing. Rather, it is usually satan doing his 'torturing thing'. He's good at his job. Really quite good at it!

Satan wants you to beat yourself up.

He wants to remind you that you're not worthy.

And, most certainly,  he wants you to know
that no matter how hard you try,
you'll never be good enough
 - or pure enough -
for God to speak to you.

Well, that's just plain silly, isn't it?  Of course, you're not good enough! That's why Jesus came as God with skin on. He came to die for you because you're not good enough! That issue has been long planned for and dealt with. And it has been forever settled!

You are not good enough! That's why He made the point of dying for you while you were still a sinner - to forever settle that issue. Oh, by the way, do you hear something?

It's that voice again.

It's His Voice!

He is still talking - to you!
