It's All A Mirage !

Hi everyone,

Going by what I wrote last time, we now understand that the moment we received Christ as Lord we became righteous, and it didn’t come by works, but as a gift through faith, likewise we cannot be unrighteous through our works, but by renouncing Christ as Lord. There is a new level you have been placed that makes you “immune” to the sinful nature. As the Bible says in Ephesians 2:6 that we seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places. If we were unrighteous we won’t and would never sit with the righteous One who is Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For He [God] made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Now that you who are righteous in Christ know that you have Christ living in you literarily, the question now is, why do those born of God still giving the devil power? What do I mean by this?

Many of us think we get attacked by the devil. I used to think that way too until I studied the scriptures better with the Holy Spirit opening my eyes to deeper insights. So today, I will show you how powerless the devil is, and how he doesn’t any power. I’m sure it is dawning on many of us at the moment that the devil doesn’t have any power, but still, I must break this down to us.

Now, where should I start? In John 8 Jesus spoke of the devil where He said in verse 44, “…He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources [in other words, his native dialect], for he is a liar and the father of it.” There is nothing the devil would say or do that is the truth, because he can never stand in the truth, which implies that all that we call attacks from the devil have all been fake. This may not be convincing enough, let me go further.

Let’s look at Colossians 2:15, Apostle Paul wrote on what God did when Jesus went to hell when He died, “He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.” Message. The devil lost his powers because the powers he possessed were given to him by Adam which was what God disarmed him.

Jesus said in Mark 16:17-18 when He rose from the dead, “And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The truth is that just as we see a pond on the water in the desert and as we get close it disappears, likewise, the devil’s attack is to us. What the devil wants us to do is to acknowledge that we are attacked because our tongue carries power, so the devil speaks to our thoughts and it is left for us to believe his lies or rebuke them using the Word of God as the sword and shield of faith.

Unless the devil is as powerful as Christ [GOD FORBID!!!] then you can be attacked, or don’t you get it? You cannot protect yourself, Jesus is our protection because we are in Him and live in Him.

Remember this, “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” 1 John 5:18.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
