Thus says the LORD: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.

Isaiah 56:1

It will not be long before the Lord Jesus returns and when that happens He will rid us of all the schemes of the enemy. Until then, we will still be troubled by this being whose intent is to take us away from God\’s presence by all possible means and if he does so, he will also rob us of eternal life. But in order to keep it from happening, the Father gave us the exact instruction concerning what we have to do and if we abide by it, we will live in peace.

You must keep justice, which was the defeat inflicted by Christ on the devil. Satan has already been tried and convicted and will not be able to reverse his judgment. What we have to do is to keep justice and not to give the enemy any chance to convince us that the evil he is inflicting on us is something normal. All of our sins, our illnesses and evils have already been suffered by Jesus.

The devil knows his time is short and, therefore, he gets desperate. His judgment will come and he will be tormented in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 20:10). The enemy has attacked mankind violently in order to trick people into seeking him. Moreover, he has succeeded in making many people fear him preventing them from using the power granted to them by God.

The Lord tells us to judge all things by His Word and not to accept absolutely anything contrary to the Word. We do not have to make any sacrifices to be free from the attacks of hell, but only to exert our authority in the Son of God.

The day of our redemption is at hand and the Savior will come anytime, so we will be forever out of the reach of the power of hell. However, while this day does not arrive, the children of God should not submit to any form of oppression that the forces of darkness use to attack them. All we have to do is to rebuke all evil every time it presents itself to attack our life, our family, as well as those who seek our help. 

When the justice of the Lord manifests itself, it will discern even the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). On that day it will be revealed why the Most High did not operate in our favor in certain occasions. Where there is sin, lust and impure thoughts the Lord is unable to act. The worst is that many people pray regardless of these things and because they are not delivered they end up blaming God.

Those who are wise will believe in every word that the Lord sends them. They will put it into action in the name of Jesus so that the Father can be glorified. So the only thing we should do now is to believe, command the departure of evil and glorify the Almighty with the peace, prosperity, health and other blessings which belong to us.

In Christ with love,
