Casualties

1 John 5:18 (Amplified Bible)

We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One Who was begotten of God carefully watches over and protects him [Christ's divine presence within him preserves him against the evil], and the wicked one does not lay hold (get a grip) on him or touch [him].

In a war or battle, there are casualties. As Christians, we are in a spiritual battle and engage spiritual warfare every day. One of our weapons is the Word of God. If we use it against the devil the way Jesus did in the wilderness, we can have the victory every time, standing on the Word of God. We have God's promise of protection in the heat of the battle when we abide in Him. In the old testament, Israel defeated all their enemies without any loss on their side when they came together in unity, trusted God and worshipped Him only. But when they began to turn to idols, rebellion and sin, they began to suffer loss. Today, give no place to the devil to come in and cause you to suffer loss. Guard your heart and your mouth. Keep God first place in your thoughts, words and actions. There's no reason to be a casualty in this spiritual war. Keep your eyes on Jesus and let NOT that wicked one touch you!


God Bless you EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK OR THINK!
