We all are in a spiritual warfare on a daily basis.

There are two distinct entities that vie or


contend for the souls of men. In God's view (is what really matters, since He created
everything and is in charge all alone) we are either in His camp or on Satan's side. No
person can serve them both. No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. (Luke
16:13) And one side or another will be chosen. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and
the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (1
Corinthians 10:21) If we try to serve both we will wind up serving only one, the side of
Satan because God is jealous. He wants best and your all. Be ye not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believes with an infidel? And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will
dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing; and I will receive you. (2 Corinthians 6:14-17) Thou shalt have no
other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the
LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto
thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:3-6) The first
of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (Mark 12:29-30)

In whatever state or side that you die in/on therein you will remain. Where a tree falls
there it stays. If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if
the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there
it shall be. (Ecclesiastes 11:3) Hebrews 9:27 says specifically that man does not have a
second chance after death. It says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27) Decide on which side that you abide on now. May
you have a blessed day in the Lord.
