It Shall Not Come Near You!
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:” (1 Peter 2:9 WEB)
As a born-again believer, you are set apart unto God as His own precious possession. The word “holy” means to be set apart for God’s special purposes.
The devil wants everyone to be focused on the bad things that are happening in the world. He will direct you to look at the one case of a terrible tragedy, when it’s just a rare occurrence.
For example, as a parent, when you send your child to childcare, one concern may be whether the teachers will really take good care of your child, or will they secretly abuse him/her when no one is looking.
This issue is close to my heart because I clearly remember how my teachers in preschool were very rough and mean towards me. During shower time, they just kept spraying the stream of water, not caring that I was struggling to breathe. They took out their stress and frustrations on the children in school.
Online, you can read about other terrible cases of abuse in schools, and incidents like that may cause you to feel fearful and think that it could happen to your child.
Quickly catch yourself when you are having fleshly thoughts of fear and worry like that. Remind yourself that you are God’s special possession and that He will surely take care of everything that concerns you.
“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.” (Psalms 91:7-8 WEB)
Declare, “Bad things like that may happen to the world, but God’s word says that a thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me. I am sanctified, and God’s treasured possession!”
When the devil came to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus quoted the Scriptures as a weapon against those temptations. That is one tactic you can use to overcome the devil’s lies. Store God’s word in your heart and in crucial moments, the Holy Spirit can bring it to your remembrance to give you help in the time of need. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will learn about the powerful spiritual weapons you already possess, and how to use them to emerge victorious in spiritual warfare: https://bit.ly/silencing-the-serpent
