Thus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people,” says the Lord God.’ Ezekiel 34:30

The Word of God is directed at those who accepted Jesus as their Savior. These people don’t fear the enemy’s lies and execute the work of God as the good Shepherd determined. The Lord’s faithfulness will never fail because it it something that’s inherent to Him. Those who accept salvation offered by Christ move from death to life (John 5:24), become His sheep and, because of that, are never alone.

Our spiritual position is great, because we have become servants of the One who will never partner with the kingdom of darkness, but who will protect us from the enemy’s perversity. We must love the Lord in such a way that won’t drag our faith down or make us dirty with sin (Hebrews 10:38). God expects more from us than just going to church; He wants us to fulfill His purposes without limitations (Hebrews 12:14). 

We are the Almighty One’s sheep, and because of that, we shouldn’t be afraid of the operation of darkness. If the evil one invests against you, don’t be shaken, but trust in the Lord, march against evil with the assurance of victory. The Bible tells us to resist the devil, and he will flee from us (James 4:7). The Father won’t ever forsake His children.

God holds us in high esteem and fights on our behalf. He will never leave us to be attacked by the devil, because His Son paid a high price on the cross at Calvary for our redemption. Never give the enemy an opportunity to attack you, but take refuge on the Almighty One, who will cover you with the shadow of His wings (Psalm 91:1) and keep away all evil that tries to come into your life.

As sheep of His pasture, we will always have the good food – His Word – available; it makes us strong and well-disposed to solve our problems. If God is fighting for us, we will obtain victory soon. Being a part of the Lord’s pen makes us blessed children. That way, we resist the attempts from Satan, who is treacherous, lying and ruthless.

We shouldn’t be arrogant when we think we will be victorious and will help other people overcome their battles. If we act that way, we will be defeated. Scriptures say that those who rush into a quarrel not their own are like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears (Proverbs 26:17). Allow God to guide you, because the devil will tempt you to rush into other people’s quarrels. Those who follow the Lord’s guidance will live well!

Don’t ever feat the enemy’s size or the size of his threats. The Lord will empower us to overcome them. Our Commander is Jesus; He will lead us to be useful to His kingdom. We live to serve God!

In Christ, with love,
