Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul. Psalm 66.16

The person without the true fear of God lives by what she sees, cares only about her body, and doesn’t think it’s wrong to practice what the Word of God forbids. But the saved delight in obeying God’s will, walking next to the Most High, giving Him due praise, and being thankful for what He has provided for their welfare, both now and in eternity with Jesus. The lost need to see that we live the faith in its fullness.

Your soul – mind, intellect – needs to be cared for every moment, or you will never see how good God is to those who trust in Him. Now, we have been redeemed to live with Jesus; thus, we will no longer give place to the devil. We have to receive what the Holy Spirit shows us, molding us into the image of the Savior (2 Corinthians 3.18). Our mission is the best we could ever want or have: to shine the true light (Philippians 2.15).

When we leave the Way – of obedience to the Word – we get caught in the net of sin, and all that is important is despised. So, we must pray like King David, when he felt entangled by the enemy: The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, and none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned (Psalm 34.22). God will not let any of those who trust in Him be condemned. That is God’s will!

The born-again person must be transformed by the renewing of the soul or he will not experience the pleasing, good and perfect will of God (Romans 12.2). The way for the restoration of the soul of those who are in sin is open; now, it is up to each one to be transformed. Don’t let the enemy have you! If your soul is overtaken by darkness, you will neither be nor see the light of life.

Your true deliverance will come with the knowledge of the Word; just let the Truth set you free from beliefs and deviations. Thus, you will walk in the path that will be revealed to you (John 8.32). Therefore, take up the sword of the Spirit and assert your rights in Christ. With your soul in the clutches of the enemy, you will be a complete failure instead of a successful child of God (Psalm 1.1-3). Do you believe?

See that the Lord has done you good; otherwise, you will not be the servant He expects to find in you. All that had to be paid to give the saved the right to live free from the kingdom of darkness was provided by the Savior in His death (Colossians 2.14). So, believe the Scriptures and live the Truth as it is presented. Our potential in Christ is beyond what we ask or think (Ephesians 3.20).

Let people know that truly – you have found the Savior and He has changed you completely. Your way of life shows whether you are in agreement with God’s promises, or whether your faith is a joke. God confirms us in Christ, so take your place at the Lord’s side now.

In Christ, with love,
