Dancing With The Devil is about the evil strategies Satan uses to capture the soul of a Christian and how his destructiveness infiltrates the government of a Christian nation. When we let this enemy inside the temple of the Lord, (our heart and mind) and into our government entities we will begin to live a life of deep sorrow and regret. However, regardless of his strategies he cannot enter those places where he doesn’t belong unless we give him access through the choices we make that reject Christ’s statutes. To dance with the devil is to ignore scriptural wisdom, willingly trading biblical truth for personal lust and power while still claiming to be a Christian, attending church, and influencing others, especially tender hearts and innocent minds. It is to flirt with an evil attitude, and/or participate in evil behavior. Through my own personal experiences, as well as those shared by close friends and family, I have come to realize how the sinful choices each of us makes contributes to our own demise and to the brokenness in our families, which leads to a spiritually and physically broken nation. Every Christian must choose to help reduce evil, bring justice to the innocent, and help turn people to Christ by using wisdom and understanding to make good choices. Dancing With The Devil teaches Christians why it is important to let the Lord open the eyes of our heart so we can understand how that living in disobedience to His Word jeopardizes our soul and creates a world of evil-evil that begins with the smallest intent of the heart and mind, ends with the most wicked action, and sets up our people and our nation for failure. While we will never eradicate all the evil in the world, we must believe that it exists and accurately define it. Then we can judge and punish it, taking warlike action against it when necessary, minimizing its affect on humanity. Those whose goal is eternity in heaven with Jesus must understand His character and His commands. To live a life that contradicts His character and commands is to dance with the devil and endorse evil. When we discover that we are caught in this bondage we must repent; to repent is to stop, then turn around, and return to Jesus with all our heart, letting Him redeem us. When we renew our minds to conform to Jesus and His statutes, and change our behavior then the Lord will hear our prayer and will heal our land.
