KEPT IN PEACE BY THE POWER OF GOD

November 5

ometimes my children don't know where they stand on the spiritual matters of their everyday Christian walk! For instance, the question is asked, "Who of us should fear the Devil?" I have a direct command about this issue. I say, "fear not him who is able to destroy the body (Satan), but rather, fear (and reverence) Him (your Father in Heaven) who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell!" (Matthew 10:28) I can't get any plainer than that can I? "Then what's all the argument about the Devil, you ask?" Well, the noise is sounded about him (the Devil) by those whose hearts are divided in their loyalties. That is, people who have one foot in glory and the other in fulfilling their own selfish lusts, have a good reason to be terrified by the Enemy. However, to those who know their weaknesses, yet also know their Father's loving forgiveness, and walk with surrender under the banner of the cross, there is no need for any fear. Indeed, I am not talking about a perfect or flawless walk. My Son Jesus says, "There is none good except my Father in Heaven." (Matthew 19:17) To those who think they can keep a back door open to sin, using the excuse, "I'm only human," there is a need to quake and tremble at the thought of the terror which can be unleashed by the enemy in their lives. Take your pick! Which way will you follow the Lord Jesus in your daily walk? There is no middle ground. Can you really believe in your heart that you can truly walk in "perfect peace" if your focus (mind) remains on him?" (Isaiah: 26:3) You sure can! That is the reward of the righteous in this world. So, you won't lay awake at night worrying about what the Devil can do against you, will you? Instead, every time you awaken in the night you will quietly praise your Father that He has sent His angels to surround you and they will be ordered by your Heavenly Father to deliver you out of his evil hand! What a good night's sleep you are going to get. At first, you may fight a battle for the breakthrough, but that will be good for you. You will understand how sweet the victory in Jesus can feel. After all, recall a little of how the Evil One has stolen from you for so long. It's about time that you call out for the covering of the precious blood of Jesus. It scares him silly for you to call out for the blood of Jesus to go against him! Now rest and do not fear him! I love you and surround you with my divine protection every day and night of your life. Be strong!

Prayer

Father, I am giving up my excuses for fleshly sins. I will bless you and allow your Son's precious blood to cover me and my loved ones. I am so joyful under the banner of the cross of the Lamb. I will not fear him, not one more day! In the marvelous name of the Lord Jesus, amen!
