Those who have turned back from following the LORD, and have not sought the LORD, nor inquired of Him. Zephaniah 1.6

The life of someone who makes one of these three mistakes described in the verse will not be easy at all. After all, despising the Father results in terrible consequences. Being careful with the devil will give each of us safety in everything, because the enemy desires to destroy us. The Holy Spirit fights on our behalf, for us to seek the Lord and confess our transgressions. Then we will be forgiven and anointed for the battles of everyday life.

Why would anyone in his right mind stop following the Lord, or declare that he doesn’t need Him? God is the Source of life. To walk with the Savior is to always be protected from the forces of darkness. Whoever finds the Lord finds the Fountain of unbelievable victories. To ask for Jesus is the most blessed attitude of one who fears God. These three steps will make you invincible.

By abandoning the Lord’s promises to those who love Him, one stops walking with Him. With the Word, the servant of the Most High is satisfied, for he lacks nothing. Separation from God will be the result of a huge work of the devil in the life of the one who is weak in faith. Even if we don’t recognize that there is some error in us, it is our fault that God doesn’t answer us (Isaiah 59.2).

To turn away from the Lord is total imprudence, for He alone is able to guard us and keep the devil from touching our lives, family, and possessions. To keep faith alive and ready to act in some unexpected situation is the Lord’s answer to those who seek His majestic presence. In Heaven, the times when evil came against us will be revealed. Even if we are not aware of it, the Spirit will lead us to cry out for divine help.

When we withdraw from God, we simply declare the devil’s victory and claim that we belong to him. Never let Satan defeat you; otherwise, you will not be reasoning well and will need deliverance. The Word assures us that the Father leads us in triumph: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place (2 Corinthians 2.14).

Even without knowing how to free yourself, believe this: God will open the way for you, for He does not want to see His children, who are in His image and likeness, overtaken and destroyed by the evil one. If He is our Shepherd, we will lack nothing (Psalm 23.1). However, if we are like rebellious goats, our path will be difficult. Nothing can overcome us, as long as we are in the Savior’s hands (John 15.5).

As you read the Bible carefully, you will find that it speaks volumes about you, and it will speak to your soul. The Word will show you the way out, leading you to walk with your head held high and your chest puffed out like a true soldier of the heavenly armies. So says the Word: How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had surrendered them? (Deuteronomy 32:30).

In Christ, with love,
