EVEN THE EVIL SPIRITS OBEY HIM

” EVEN EVIL SPIRITS OBEY HIM, AND THEY FLEE AT HIS COMMAND.” LUKE 4:36

It should open our eyes when we realize that even the evil spirits of the spiritual world believe and obey Jesus. Why then is it so hard for many of us in this world to believe and obey our Lord? It seems that the world itself wraps its arms around the weak and will not let go. The devil clogs our minds with all of the things in this world that we can see and touch. We have been taught since birth that if you can’t see it with you own eyes or touch it with you own hands then it is not real. Since we are spiritual beings living in a physical world, we must be able to believe without seeing or touching. Our Lord works from the spiritual world, and he expects us to obey him because of our faith and our trust in his promises. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we do so in faith. We are given the opportunity to build our faith each day and to believe what our God says in his holy word. We are then able to put our trust in his promises and continue to build our faith so that it becomes the way we live in this physical world. We succumb to Jesus. Our faith allows us to believe. Just as the evil spirits in the spiritual world obey Jesus, we too obey him through our faith. We cannot allow the evil one to fool us with his foolish schemes. Instead, we must build our faith and be overcomers through the promises of Jesus. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
