The beast you saw was alive but isn't now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from before the world began, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.
Do not settle for the temporal enjoyment the Devil offers you on this Earth. The Devil will appear in any form to deceive you. He might even do some incredible 'miracles' before you, to trick you. Watch it! He will be making you an eternal slave to wickedness and condemnation, if you accept that offer . His offer will be something that will appeal to the sinful nature of the Devil in you. Do not settle for the sinful nature but put it to death. Go for the divine nature of Christ to be formed in you instead. Remember, you cannot have the divine nature of Christ formed in you in the spirit of the old self. Christformation can only occur in the born again spirit, the new self. God the Holy Spirit is The Helper sent by the heavenly Father for full Christformation in you. You must be led by Him, step by step, towards full Christformation in you. Your obedience to everything Christ had commanded will ensure full Christformation in you. God the Holy Spirit will remind you, step by step, everything Christ had commanded. Listen to Him. Obey Him always. If you are not led by Him, step by step till the end, you will be easily deceived by the Devil. Remember, "greater is He who is in us, than he who is in the world". God the Holy Spirit who dwells in us is greater and more powerful than the Devil. You can defeat the Devil in your life through the power of God the Holy Spirit in you, if you obey Him at every step of the way towards full Christformation in you.
Galatians 5:24-25
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
