Enemy:
Evil one does not touch us:
1 John 5:18
18 We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God
keeps him and the evil one does not touch him.
Of course this doesn’t mean that if
you sin, you’re not born of God. It is the one who continually sins that is
not. We are set free from the power of sin and death. Sin no longer controls
us. We also do not have to fear the devil. When we are born of God, God keeps
us and we cannot be touched by the evil one. Our spirit man is perfect and
cannot be harmed by the enemy. That doesn’t mean we will never have bad things
happen to us, or that we’ve sinned if they do. Again that is like the disciples
asking Jesus, “Who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind.”
If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would
say:
"You
are special, My people. I have chosen you for great things … not as the world
counts greatness, but as I count greatness. You are My light to a generation
born in darkness. They cannot find their way, but you can shed light on their
paths so that they can come into My Kingdom. You have no need to fear anything
from anyone, not even the devil himself. You are under My special protection as
long as you walk in My Word. You have nothing to fear in Me as long as you walk
in the power of My Spirit. You are special, and it took something special … the
blood of My Son … to bring you into the paths of righteousness that I desire My
people to walk in.”
93. Because of the
blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, the evil one does not dare touch me.
