The Enemy of Your Soul

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

“Consider how precious a soul must be, when both God and the devil are after it.” Charles Spurgeon

The enemy (Satan) isn’t after your business. He isn’t after your family, neither is he after any physical thing you own. Satan is after your Soul. He knows that you came from your mother’s womb naked, and you will leave the same. Therefore what matters most to him is your soul.

When your days on earth are over, and your soul leaves the body, where would your soul be? 

Would it be in eternity with God, or Satan? 

Nothing really matters to God than your soul for whom Jesus came to die. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Satan, on the other hand, doesn’t want to go to the lake of fire alone. He is after your soul.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. (‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ AMP)

Satan knows what you desire, and he is aware of your greatest fear. As a result, he attacks you in the way(s) that will shift your focus from God. He seeks to destroy your love for God. When you take three people for instance, Satan will attack the first one’s family, the second one’s job, and the last one’s properties. He works in various ways but his mission is to make God’s children doubt God’s love for them.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God stays for ever. (1 John 2:15-17)

Satan can also add up to what you have through evil ways which may be right in your sight. You may say “Well, everyone is doing it. It is normal to steal, deceive, lie, cheat, etc to make money, or seek dark powers for money.” When He comes this way, remember what Jesus said that “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36, 37 KJV)

Friend Satan is after your soul. However, he can’t touch you when you take delight in the things of God. That is when you allow your love for God to supersede everything you do. In that way, you dwell in the secret place of the Most High and Jesus holds you securely. You walk on the narrow road that leads to eternal life. When you are on the narrow road, things of this world mean nothing to you.

Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. (‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ AMP)

I pray the Holy Spirit guides you, and protects your soul from the evil one in Jesus’ Name. Amen

DON’T BE AFRAID

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7, NLT)

It is true that Satan has risen against this generation but as God’s elect we should always remember that He that lives in us is greater than the enemy that is causing evil around us. The scripture says in 1 John 5:8 that  Jesus holds God’s children securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. This means that although there are accidents on the streets, sicknesses and diseases, sudden deaths, wars and threats of war, shootings, spread of viruses, etc, Jesus holds us securely, and the enemy and his demons cannot touch us. Praise the Lord forevermore!

Let me ask you these questions:

Do you live in fear in your daily life? Do you worry about the things you don’t have? Are you afraid because roads are not safe? Do you shiver because of threats of diseases? Do you worry about the security of your job? Do you get scared about the welfare of your family? What is your greatest fear?

God sent me to you with this message; “DO NOT BE AFRAID for I am with you.”

One weapon Satan is using in these last days is FEAR. He will present facts about your situation(s) to make you think or believe that there is no hope. His main objective is to shift your focus from God and His love for you, and to make you walk in fear instead of faith because he knows that without faith, you cannot please God.

Satan sends his message of fear through News, reports, and words from people we know. Some of the journalists, experts, and people we listen to are unbelievers. Others might have accepted Jesus but they have not taken time to grow in the word of God. Thus, they base their reports on human knowledge, which is limited to the flesh. It is good to know what happens around the globe but don’t let your heart be troubled. Know that although all those things are happening, God still sits on the throne and He is protecting His own. Do not worry because God is with you.

Friend, do not be afraid for God has ransomed you. He has called you by name; you are His. When you go through deep waters, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through fire of oppression, you will not be burned up. the flames will not consume you. He will brighten the darkness before you and smooth out the road ahead of you. He will not forsake you.

Jesus holds God’s children securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. You are God’s child; therefore the enemy cannot touch you. Do not be afraid.
