The Devil’s plan
In the Bible, we learn of God’s plan for our lives…
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
But the Devil also has a plan for us as well!
Did you realize that?
He wants us to do anything and be everything EXCEPT be obedient to God’s word! For by our obedience to God and His word, we are putting on the full armor of God - we are then strong because it is God’s armor, not ours - and the Devil will lose the battle when he comes into contact with a believer - a soldier on this battlefield of life - who is equipped and protected by God.
Why is this important? Because the Devil isn’t playing games with us…
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy
What are you struggling with today?
Give it FULLY to God (not 80%, not 90%, not 99% … but 100%!). Ask Him to do for you what you finally have learned is impossible for you to do on your own. He will do it! Take God at His word. Trust and obey. As the old hymn goes, there truly is NO OTHER WAY.
God will fight for you! You’ll win the battle - in Christ!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
