Focal Point: “…SO THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY THE CHURCH, HAVING CLEANSED
HER BY THE WASHING OF WATER WITH THE WORD [OF GOD]…” Point: I’ve learned that
to keep myself from sin, I need to position myself where the enemy can’t get to
me! And if I dare to stay with Christ, and allow Him to sanctify me by Washing
Me With the Water of the Word of God, the enemy can’t get to me. Reminds me of
Moses and the Red Sea! They went through, while their enemies went under! Or
like the unclean spirits that came out of the man and asked Jesus if they could
enter the pigs. They were granted their request, and rushed down the steep bank
into the sea; and they were drowned [one after the other] in the sea, says the
Scripture! How awesome is that! If I keep myself out of the enemies reach, he
can’t touch me! But family, that means that we actively do what we must to stay
out of harm’s way! You can’t play with sin and the devil, and then get mad when
you get hurt! You can’t play with hell then cry when the heat burns you! A safe
place for you is to dwell in the presence of God, in the Word of God, in prayer
with God! Allow Him to be the Rivers of Living Water flowing out of you (more
water that the enemy can’t swim in!)
People of God, don’t be tricked, or fooled, it (and they) may look real
good, and may promise to make you feel even better. However, don’t fall for it!
It may be pretty, but it (and they) can be quite poisonous! Stay clean, stay
holy, stay drenched in God, and stay alive!
Remember: Just As God Has Plans For Our Lives (Jeremiah 29:11); So Does
Satan! 2 Corinthians 2:11, “I did this so that Satan would not win anything
from us, because we know very well what Satan’s plans are.” (NCV) And What Are
His Plans For Our Lives? “…TO STEAL AND KILL AND DESTROY!” (John 10:10) Let’s
Not Be the Ones Who Supply Him With the Ammunition to Take Us Out! Instead,
Let’s Obey Christ’s Orders: Matthew 10:16, “Stay alert. This is hazardous work
I’m assigning you. You’re going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack,
so don’t call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as
a dove.” (MSG)
The Enemy Is Playing For Keeps, so keep yourselves alert in this
hazardous kingdom assignment! Don’t compromise and don’t live contrary to
Christ’s commands. We will not lose our crown nor silence His ‘well done good
and faithful servant.’ Let’s examine our lives people of God, and get back to
raising the Standard bar of a Spirit of Excellence among God’s Children. Let’s
not be fooled again by Satan’s Pretty Containers With Poisonous Content, We
Have Too Much to Loose!
Holiness Will Always Keep Us Safe From What’s Hellish! The Enemy Is
Playing For Keeps.
