On Conquering Evil

To break any ill or curse, it is paramount to engage the root cause, that is, us. We are our greatest enemies. We start from ourselves by taming our passions, manifested basically through sex and anger, or broadly speaking, the 7 capital sins: anger, envy, pride, lust, sloth, gluttony, avarice. I do not say we can manage to break these ills on our own, even if we can, extreme taming of these can work to our disanvantage, which becomes a greater evil, virtue lies in the middle, and to keep this median we need a greater intellect. Any curse can only make use of blood as link,and the more we replace the cursed blood in us with the Blood of the new convenant in Christ, the better it shall be with us. True , one communication suffices with faith, but human that we are , we live in the realm of time and God uses time to enlighten us and others and to conquer evil whose root lies in us , but which effects lies in poverty, corruption and death.And as far as we communicate positively, and practice communication often,evil can not have a chance, because evil does not exist in things but in corrupt hearts, evil is nothing, we see evil because we are evil.Communication is important, and Christ itself is that communication, the Word, and the Word has become flesh and blood, and Flesh and Blood has become bread and wine, so let's drink His Body and drink His Blood to conquer evil!

Spectator,Player, Refree, Body

In a contest, the man on top of the competition always profits the most, true, the winner do profits, but through toils, and he can not always guarantee winning, he is often ruled by the fear of loosing. 2 groups appear to be on top of the situation, the spectator and the refree, but to actually enjoy a game , you need to have a flair for a side more than the other , so it still boils down to emotions on the side of the spectator, leaving only the refree who is appointed by the body, and they make all the gains, the man on top of the situation profits most because he sees the big picture and is able to apply judgement without exhaustion because he is unbaiased, the act of the contest is itself his gain. The ultimate winner is the man who can balance the act of engaging ,observing , judging, and most importantly being the body( the organisation ). The body is Christ, he alone is on top of issues, we need to win Christ if we hope to win all, in Him we engage,we observe, we judge , we rule and we gain, full measure, pressed down, shaken and abundantly!
