For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. I John 3:8
If you go through the Bible with a toothcomb, you’ll find
only one person who persistently and consistently always overcame the
enemy. Only one man who never gave the
devil the tiniest toehold, only one person who resisted every attack, trampled
on every temptation, never thought or acted on His own initiative. Suffering never made Jesus blame God. Taunts about the circumstances of His birth
never silenced Him. Threats of violence
never put Him off. Rejection by His
friends and family did not plunge Him in depression. Quite simply, Jesus is the triumphant overcomer.
He is the One who is with you and within you. You’re not being directed by somebody who
fell and failed, by someone like Eve or Elijah, David or Job, Joshua or Balaam;
you’re being guided by Jesus who is more-than-a-conqueror.
If you only listen to Him, you’re certain to be kept
safe. If you do only what He says,
you’re bound to know God’s blessing. If
you go only where He sends, you’re sure to live in the security of God’s
Will. If you speak only what He prompts,
you’re guaranteed to know the quiet authority of God. If you think only His thoughts, the mind of
Christ will be in you and you will prove what is the good and acceptable and
perfect will of God.
Of course, Jesus will lead you along the way of the cross
and the Jezebel spirit will urge its demons to throw everything at you, but
nothing will be able to harm you.
Stay close to Jesus.
Listen to the voice of the King.
Depend entirely on His strength and ability. When you live with
deliverance and discipline, you’ll be able to trample on the tempting thoughts
of sex and pride, to swipe away the darts of doubt and depression, and to
ignore the meaningless attractions of money and power. In short, you’ll be a true warrior of God.
If you walk in righteousness and the shout of the King is
heard in your life, every attack of the enemy will become a blessing from
God.
To be continued…
Hope this has been a blessing to you and will continue to
share with you the portions the Lord leads…..
God Bless You and Keep You!!
