Day Fifty-Six.
Verse: "'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.'"
John 10:10
Fighting the real enemy aka The Devil.
We (as Christian) have an enemy aka the Devil. The Devil has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Devil will do everything in his power to pull as away from God. The Devil can and will send us trials, problems, and horrible circumstances in hopes that we will fall away from God. The Devil is real and he will do everything in his power to pull you away from God.
But, we (as Christians) have God on our side.
God has already destroyed the Devil and put the Devil in his place: hell.
With God on our side: we can and will fight the Devil and win! Because God is bigger, stronger, and mightier than the Devil. Yes the Devil has power but the Devil falls very short in comparison to God's power.
God's power has conquered death, the Devil, and the grave (John 3:16).
With God on our side: we can do anything!
So how do you fight the Devil?
You HAVE to have God on your side to destroy the Devil. Grab God's hand and God will help you fight the Devil. Put your faith, hope, and trust in God. With God on your side: The Devil doesn't stand a chance. So grab God's hand and let's do this!
We ( as Christian) need to pray everyday. We need to have a close relationship with God to fight the Devil and one of the best ways of building a good relationship with God is fervent prayer. By praying throughout the day however you pray best: writing it down, saying it out loud, and/or praying in your head. We have to stay connected to God by talking to Him and getting the Devil out of our heart and mind. By praying to put God in our heart and mind, where God belongs!

God speaks through His word so we have to read the word to fight the Devil. The Devil will try to keep you so busy so you don't read the Bible because the Bible has God's power. Don't let the Devil win and read the word of God!
When we lift our eyes above our problems, trials, and circumstances: we can see God and all His goodness. The Devil will try to keep you focused on your trials, problems, and circumstances so all you see is pain and suffering. Lift our eyes to God and God will show you all your blessings and God's goodness.
Just relax, sit in silence, and listen for God to speak to you. God loves to speak to His children but you have to be listening. The Devil will try to keep you too busy to do this: do this anyways! Because God will and can speak to you.
Remember you can and will fight the Devil and win with God on your side! Because with God on your side, you can do anything like put the Devil in his place: HELL!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray you grab my hand and stay close by my side. Help to fight the Devil with you on my side because with you on my side Lord, I know I can do all things. Please come into my heart and mind. Get the Devil out of my heart and mind. Help me to fix my eyes on you and see all your goodness. Lord I believe you are stronger, bigger, and mightier than the Devil. So please put the Devil where he belongs: HELL!
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Fall of the Supreme
What is it that you desire? Longevity? Strength? A Holy Lord has it all, but at what price? None of them really knows. But they know that their fate is in the hands of someone else. Most of them got used to that, their lives controlled by some being they’ve never even seen. However, one of them is not willing to pay the price of being a slave. One day, he encountered a dark energy that changed him. It merged with him. Now, with his newly found powers he was granted the opportunity to retaliate. All he desires is to find answers and get in control of his own fate. No matter what he has to sacrifice, no matter how much blood he has to spill, even if it means he has to create a pile of corpses, or become the devil himself. To him, the price of freedom is all but expensive. Basically a story with an anti-hero protagonist in a dark fantasy, medieval setting.
