Hot again

The heat has returned, after a lull of cooler temps. Humidity too. Did I make a mistake building a deck onto my house? Will we only be able to use it in spring and autumn (fall)? I do have a back up plan, the gazebo I built a couple of years ago. That is screened in, to protect us from the state bird, the dreaded mosquito. These mosquitoes are satanically trained to inflict the most damage to a person, they can also carry Lyme's disease, which can be fatal. Such is life here. In Britain, we don't have a single dangerous creature, only man. There are a few vipers that can bite and cause sickness, but not usually fatal. Here, we have bears, moose, elk, wolves, racoons just north of us, and rattlesnakes to the south. Where we live in the city is mercifully free of death dealing animals, except the mosquitoes.
We can't say the same about demonic entities, which present themselves everywhere. I'm not a person who sees a demon under every tree, but I was always interested in the story, apparently true, of Alistair Crowley, who was Britain's biggest satanist by all accounts. Crowley was in London, in a house, and looked out of his window, screamed, and ran out of the house. He ran down the path and stopped a man walking by. "Who are you?" Crowley asked. "You are the first person I've ever seen who does not have personal demons attached to him."
"My name is Oswald Chambers", the man replied.
One thing I've been seeing recently is more of the spiritual realm. I was unsure of the things I was seeing, so I started testing them, and have been surprised how accurate they have been. It seems so easy for us to do or say something and open ourselves up to demonic interference. That's not to say we should be afraid, but it's to say we should be careful what we say and do. I am guilty about being too casual about this. As one preacher said, "Don't be surprised if satan comes to your house to check on, or take his property."
If we don't walk in God's ways, and keep close to Him, we are walking around with our defenses down in dangerous country populated by demons who love to torment and harm us. If we keep walking in the Lord's will we know whatever happens to us, it is in His will and control. It doesn't mean we will be safe, just under His care at all times.
