The Devil fears holy people of God

“Do you think the devil is impressed by anyone’s Bible knowledge or degree-certificates? Not at all. Satan fears only holy, humble men and women who know God.” – Zac Poonen

True

Quick reminder: God’s eyes know your true face and character

 

It does not matter if one’s an expert in hiding their intentions and emotions before men, women and children, the Lord God knows the human heart really well. A person may even deceive millions but he cannot deceive God. Even Satan cannot trick the Lord. So remember Christ and be honest, faithful and true to him even when you all by yourself!

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15: 3)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. (Psalm 32:8)

The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out  on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,     on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. (Psalm 33:13-19)

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. (1 Peter 3:12)

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.(Hebrews 4:12-13)

Will you endure to the end?

Will you endure to the end,
Or to falsehood bow and bend?
Will your love for God become cold,
Or be fiery, bright and bold?

Will you pray that you be good,
Or let your faith become dull wood?
Will you bite the sinful bait,
Or upon the Lord will you wait?

Will you get jealous of the shameless,
Or walk the Way that’s blameless?
Will you love to do what’s right,
Or be impious with worldly fright?

Will you delight in God’s holy word,
Or turn to things all absurd?
Will you say you have no free will,
Or with Christ overcome every hill?

Will you be under God’s hand,
Or dwell in shifting sand?
Will you get into things vain and impure,
Or in faithfulness till the end endure?

Reflection verses:

Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.  But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Matthew 24:12-13)

Prayer for deliverance from bad counsel

Deliver me O Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ from all things profane. Purge out from me all false wisdom that I may have absorbed knowingly or unknowingly. Save me from vile words and thoughts that defile. Send forth the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in gentleness and truth. Take away from me all deceivers whether seen or unseen. Let not the plans of the devil succeed against me in any form.

If I’m living in deception and sensuality in any way, then let your Spirit convict me and bring me to repentance. You have raised me from being mere dust and ashes and have put me into high places with you in your loving grace. So I forsake each and every sin that is still in my life. Cleanse me of all unfaithfulness and heal my spirit. Let the name of your Father who is my God be glorified as I draw near to you O Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

I take refuge in your Holy Name O Lord. You are mighty in true wisdom, majesty and power. Strike forth your arrows and scatter away the enemies of my soul. Contend with them who contend against those who believe in you. Let not those who trust in you be put to shame. Deliver me from all bad counsel in my life that may be openly or secretly deceptive. Cause me to be alert and discern your will in all that I hear, read, see and also in my interactions. Strengthen my resolve to always say no to all that is vile, selfish and immoral.

Send forth your Holy angels to deliver me from all demonic influences. Give me during my life on earth the generosity of good counsel from those who truly love and serve you O Lord Jesus. Let them remind me and encourage me to always walk in the light of the Holy Scriptures. Take away my dependency on wisdom that is earthly, sensual and demonic for I renounce all such unholy wisdom for the sake of your glory.

In the name of Jesus I cut off all soul ties and influences of each and every person with myself who been a source of false and immoral counsel. I without any reservation forgive them for their vanity. I also forgive myself from my heart for having chosen the wrong ways of action through such bad counsel. I ask for purity and sincerity to fill up all my relationships and for the sword of the Spirit to be a dividing pillar of fire that keeps me away from all tempters and liars both in the physical and spiritual realms.

I seal all the doorways of my soul and spirit by the saving blood of Jesus against all demonic and perverse influences in my life. I block every malignant spirit from influencing my mind, emotions, will power and intellect in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and amen.
