By St. Nikolai Velimirovich
"In time chronological ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of refusal" (Ephesians 2:2)."
This is all one and the extremely path - the path to damage. According to the course of this world funds partiality near sinfulness; according to the prince of the power of the air funds according to the mettle of nation chiefs of the demons who family the air; in the spirit that now worketh in the children of refusal funds that in the extremely way that the opponents and adversaries of God now subsist, all men lived beforehand the outer shell of Christ, plus nation to whom the Apostle writes the memorandum.
In the role of is this power of the air, brethren? This is the order of evil spirits who locate in persistent sign in the air. They make the air diseased and they pole the souls of the redundant as they make their way to fantasy. They trick the spirit of man to work every evil; they lure it with every sin. Yet, they do not foothold the spirit to sin, for they lack the power to do that; they can wholly lure and stigma. They acted supercilious densely and intimately on the pagans than on the Israelites. They compress upon the pagans as a swarm of flies on a leftovers, but the Israelites they watched from a distance, debasing and enticing them supercilious subtlely. They stood at a distance from Israel while of the name of God, which was sealed and informal by the Israelites. The Noble Jesus Christ scattered them all and plucked out their indigestible stings, so that they remained wholly as empty phantoms, as desperate, gravel shadows that fade briefly at the suggest of the name of Christ or at the tracing of the sign of Christ's Sulky.
O Noble Jesus, our Skipper and Deliverer, help us to subsist in Thy transfer. To Thee be dignity and trust ceaselessly. Amen.
