I. Reality Check: Evil Is Real, and It’s Active
- “I’ve seen the devil’s eyes” — that’s not fiction, that’s life.
- 1 Peter 5:8 – “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
- Evil works through habits, temptations, pride, and lies.
- Recognizing the enemy is the first step to defeating him.
II. This World Is Twisted—And We Helped Twist It
- “We demonized religion, brought corruption to the church…”
- “We know the price of everything but don’t know the worth.”
- Romans 1:21–22 – “Although they knew God, they did not honor him as God… claiming to be wise, they became fools.”
- The world is upside down—wrong looks right, right looks weak.
- We’ve all played a part. Nobody’s innocent. That’s why grace matters.
III. God Is Not Silent—But He’s Not Going to Shout Over Our Sin
- “I never seen God’s eyes…” — a line of longing, not disbelief.
- Isaiah 59:2 – “Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God…”
- God isn’t absent—sin builds a wall between us and Him.
- He waits for surrender, not excuses.
IV. The Fight for Your Soul Is Real
- “He tried to get my soul but I’ll never settle.”
- James 4:7 – “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
- This is spiritual warfare—your soul is the prize.
- You can fight back, but not in your own strength—you need God’s power.
V. Redemption Means Returning the Vessel
- “I take the gift we stole and return the vessel.”
- That’s repentance: surrendering your life back to God.
- Romans 12:1 – “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God…”
- God doesn’t want perfection—He wants you, surrendered and willing.
VI. We’re Living in a Broken System—But That’s Not an Excuse
- “The intelligent fall while the stupidest all thrive…”
- The world celebrates wrong and mocks right.
- Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed…”
- Your past doesn’t give you a pass—God calls you to stand out, not blend in.
VII. I’ve Seen the Devil—But I’ve Heard the Call
- Seeing the devil proves your soul is valuable—he wouldn’t fight for what’s worthless.
- God’s call is stronger: “Come to Me, all who are weary.” (Matthew 11:28)
- You’ve heard the devil’s lies. Now answer God’s call.
- Don’t settle—Jesus already paid for your freedom.
Key Takeaway:
You don’t have to see God’s eyes to know He sees you.
You don’t have to stay trapped—you can return the vessel today.
