And
even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has
blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the
gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we
proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as
your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, “Let light
shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians
4:3-6).
Words from the Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth. Ironically enough the god of this world is
Satan and we know he is nothing more than a liar. I heard it said, although he (Satan) may not
be afraid of who we are today, he’s afraid of who we will become. That rings
more and more true as I continue to walk in faith. He targets those he thinks would be a force
to be reckoned with for God, those who will lead others out of darkness and
into the light, those who will share the gospel, and those who seek God’s will
to be done. The enemy plays no
favorites, he goes after anyone he thinks could be a threat, and lately it
seems he is especially after our children and our youth. Honestly, that’s always been his game, going
after us in our younger years. He works
out of the motto “get ‘em while there young.”
He’d plant lies from childhood, hoping we’d believe them and live a life
in bondage from the lie. He wants to
keep us veiled from the truth of who we are in Christ. If he can convince us we aren’t worth anything,
we live out of the belief. Satan puts
out the mirage that the lusts of the world are so great, then leaves you in a
pit of regret after you’ve taken the bite.
It’s time to take off the blinders and stop believing the lie. God calls you to Himself, He calls you to
salvation. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or yesterday’s failures, He’s
got that covered. He paid for it at the
cross. He’s leading you to eternal life and
freedom. He’s calling you to walk in the
truth of who He says you are in Christ- loved, accepted, forgiven, adopted,
free of condemnation, to a hope and a future, mighty warriors for His
Kingdom!! Stop believing Satan’s lies
and come home to Father!
Thank You Lord, You know the very best of us. I pray You remove any blinders and command
Satan to release his grip, so that we would be free to do Your will in our
life. In Jesus Name, Amen.
