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

 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.
