The Fowler
Hi I want to tell you about a sheet I recently read from David Wilkerson about fowlers.
Fowlers were professional bird catchers in the time before firearms. They caught birds by putting a net on the ground attached to a spring trap or a snare. Then they would sprinkle some corn near the trap and as soon the bird would eat the corn the net fly’s over the bird and it is caught.
With us Christians it is often the same Satan put up a trap for us to be caught in. Satan try’s to trap every believer who walks in holiness and devotion to Jesus Christ.
Satan and his angels try to get you with every thing they can, if it’s TV, pride, jealousy, self righteousness, or laziness or anything else that keeps you from getting closer to God.
The scripture in Psalm 124:7 describes that only God can free us ones we are trapped in such a trap and got caught in it.
There are so many Scriptures about Satan’s traps in the bible and God wants us to know that we have to watch out for these traps. Prob. 1:17, Psalm 140: 4-5, Psalm 119:110.
Maybe you are trapped right now in such a trap from Satan? You were one’s like a bird singing and flying around You spread your wings of faith and soared into heaven you knew what it meant to be free in Jesus Christ. But then you saw a pleasure something nice maybe an old habit and you went for it and got caught.
The devil knows your weaknesses and will try to ensnare you all the time.
But as soon you stop trying to get out by your self and cry out to God to help you and you admit that you can’t make it by your self God will help you. And then we should praise the Lord Psalm 124:6.
