Ravin R10 man Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 [h=2]Conversion Brings Conflict[/h][h=4]March 1 | Taken from a message by Adrian Rogers[/h]There was a man who went duck hunting with the farmhand who worked on his farm. The farmer wasn’t a believer, but the farmhand was. The farmer said to the farmhand, “You are always talking about fighting with the devil. I never have to fight with the devil and I’m not even a Christian.” The farmhand responded, “Boss, if you and I shot two ducks and one was wounded and one was dead, which one would you go after first?” The farmer said, “Well, I guess the wounded duck.” “That’s right. The devil knows you’re a dead duck,” concludes the farmhand. If the devil doesn’t bother you, it’s because you’re a dead duck. He doesn’t have to bother you. You are already one of his. There’s no conflict without conversion. You never really understand the power of Satan until you get saved. If there is no conflict, then you and the devil are traveling in the same direction. You turn around and you’ll have a collision with him. Right now, you are in collusion with him. It’s a false gospel that tells you if you come to Christ, there will be no adversity, no misfortune, no persecution, and no pain. Romans 8:16-17 declares, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
