There are many people that the devil will tempt into taking a bribe and if they fall into temptation, satan’s temptation, it will keep them from the best God has for them.
This world will offer us things or money and it will give us a false sense of security. We become comfortable in what the world has to offer, and what God has for us, we may never see because satan has offered us a bribe and we took that instead of a good and perfect gift from above.
No amount of money will speed up the answer to God’s prayer in your life. If you believe you received it when you prayed, that is when the answer came. Now the devil steps in and offers a bribe and something far less than what God has for you. But because it looks a lot like what you want, or it is close to what you want, you take satan’s bribe. But you can be sure if you take satan’s bribe you will need to give him something in return.
Kind of like the world’s welfare system, you can have it, but when you take it, you limit yourself to that and become comfortable. It is a bribe from satan. It becomes hard for you to let that go, because you see it as security and the real security, the good and perfect gift, trusting in the power and promises that Jesus Christ offers by faith, you give up on.
The world’s bribe, is a choice we must have in order to exercise our free will.
The choices must always be present, because we have free will.
How to know which choice is God’s?
His answer to your prayer will not require oppression. God answers to your prayer will not require you stay sick, so that you can recieive His promise.
Jesus Christ came to this world so we could have life more abundantly.
Satan’s job is to offer you bribes. Give you other choices that will keep you from God best, and money is one of the things satan offers to keep your faith gears in neutral.
That explains why; the love of money is the root of evil.
