As we begin a new year still in the midst of this Covid pandemic and we continue to cry out; how long O, Lord, I am reminded of just what it is the we are fighting against.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the authorities,
against the cosmic powers over this present darkness,
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Who are we fighting? It is not flesh and blood. We are not at war with our fellow man. Jesus died for all. How can we be at war with someone Jesus died for.
John 8: 44, tells us that the devil is the father of lies, and there is no truth in him.
Our real enemy’s is Satan and his ultimate goal, is to get us to stop listening to God.
“Trust me.” he says. “Can’ you see god is lying to you? There is nothing wrong with the fruit on that tree.” He wants us to believe the Savior is the enemy and that he is the savior. When, in fact, his end goal is to keep us from being saved by Jesus. His motive is pure malice he just wants to hurt God and hurting God’s beloved humans causes God the most pain.
Here we are in the afterglow of Christmas God’s pure light, Jesus, has been born
The people living in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”
This Jesus has broken the power of Satan’s lies. God has proved his love for us in that while we were still sinner Jesus gave his life for us
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.
For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
My prayer for all of us as we continue to press on is that we would listen to Jesus and hear Him declare how much he loves us and that we would
Resist the devil’s lies so that he would flee from us.
