The devil, who is evil and unredeemable, came into the world through Adam’s mistake. The mission of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy the saved and the unsaved, but Jesus came that we might have life, and life in abundance (John 10.10). The Savior brought grace and truth, that we might live by them (John 1.17). Grace has made us justified, resurrected, saved, and made alive (Titus 2.11-14). Through it we serve God.
Watch out for sinful offerings, because they are lures used by Satan to separate us from life and thus hit us with his evils. Never leave God’s presence and don’t allow the devil to work in your heart, unless you want to suffer all kinds of diseases until your final destruction. Let the Holy Spirit dwell in you, and you will see how much He loves you. According to the Word, the Comforter will quicken your mortal body (Romans 8.11). Amen?
The homicidal spirit in people who think they serve the Lord will make them try to kill His servants. Because they don’t know God and yet desire His favor, they will spare no effort to silence the children of the Most High. In this fight, Satan’s envoys will use any device to get rid of true Christians, but if they had the Holy Spirit, they would join us in doing the work.
We must not fear threats; after all, nothing outside of God’s will, will ever happen to us. The Lord has called us to a task and will keep us until the end. Those who serve the devil, on the other hand, need our prayers, for they are on their way to eternal damnation. Now, no one could come to Jesus – unless the Father brought him. In the same way, those who come to us, for whatever reason, have also been led by the Creator (John 6.44). To God be the glory!
Satan’s hatred against us is not only because we speak the Truth, but because he envies our position in Christ. Never fear the evil one’s threats, because not even a hair of your head will fall – if God doesn’t allow it (Matthew 10.29,30). All the devil’s efforts will be in vain if you are within heaven’s will. So don’t make a deal with evil, or heed its temptations. Otherwise, it will prevent the Lord from being your Shield and Protection (Isaiah 59.1,2).
Jesus never worried about the onslaughts against Him, and so He continued to carry out the mission He had received from the Father. The Master tried to open the eyes of those Jews, telling them that He had spoken the Truth from God. Today, there is no need to try to convince them of errors, because that is the mission of the Holy Spirit, and He will fulfill it. We just have to do the same works as the Master. Thus, men will know the Truth, and it will set them free.
It’s good to be used by God, believing that He will protect us from the evil one. So don’t despair at the news of some Herod attacking you, but believe that the Lord will protect you and deliver you from evil snares. Whoever trusts in the Most High will be used as He has promised: “No evil shall befall you” (Psalm 91:10a).
In Christ, with love,

Lord of good servants! Jesus knew that if He kept Your commandments and the mission assigned to Him, nothing would befall Him, and that’s how it always was. Thank You for loving us with protective, saving and true love. We love You for who You are and do!
We are always exposed to dangers, but our enemies will testify that You guard us and direct us in every situation. Therefore, many who persecute us will turn to You and do Your will. You are the one true God.
Thank You for creating and saving us. Now we want to know You as the God who reigns over everything and everyone. Use us to take Your saving love and Your eternal Word, the origin of all things, to the lost. Help us!
