SPIRITUAL PROTECTION
(PROJECT 8)
(PROJECT 8)
In
an world of uncertainties, where disasters and accidents take a jolt on man,
one craves for protection for themselves ,their beloved ones too. Many a times
knowledge helps to be aware of things,protect and safeguard oneself but what
about the things which one is not informed of?
Spiritual Protection-One needs to know it and can then safeguard
themselves from all the dangers of life.
In
this world of convincing theories and logical explanations/reasoning,despite
knowing the fact(truth that cannot be changed) that God is too good, many
question –“then why is evil happening?”
The
problem is not with God but surely with man, Man has convinced and enslaved himself
with a lie –“God kills” but as a hard realizing truth, God is not just
interested in one’s death but more in
life.
"Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him
that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye"
When
the Creator is not interested in death or harm then how is it-many are in
different sort of dangers/ problems/ disasters/ unbearable situations(overwhelming,
heartbreaking,depressing situations)? The problem lies with man.Death
and life are in the
power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit Proverbs 18 ;21. Man has the power to bless and curse and the same is
known even to the devil and in a desperate yet cunningly planned scheme, the
devil wants to use man to destroy man.
Man
has an immediate tendency to curse each other out of anger, resentment, envy,
jealousy etc and not many are aware of this hidden motive of the devil- to steal
kill and destroy. When one curses another or oneself they pronounce death upon other's
life and so on one’s own life too and later question God asking ‘’why me
Lord?’’ at a period when the curse start to hurt and torment them.
Devil
plans and waits for man to fall into a trap. And it's always better not to give
any chance to devil nor its traps. How can man protect himself and his beloved
from the devil and its evil traps? Knowledge helps to avoid the things which
are mostly known and certain in life and for the unknown things of life we need prayer. Prayer helps and protects from the vile schemes of the
devil. A prayer brings down from heaven a divine
spiritual protection for man making it impossible for the devil to touch a man
of prayer ( man of relationship with GOD ).
Our
God is God who protects as an apple of HIS EYE. Remember you will live in fear
when you don't recognize/acknowledge the protection you carry. Worry is one
major indices of inadequate faith (level of faith).
Developing
a standard of faith in God drives you to partake in HIS divine protection.
Turning to examples from the Bible, Jesus desired to die because of man’s sins
and defeated death on the cross. When HE was on the cross, death bowed its head
before the cross because even death learnt it cannot handle the Creator of
Heaven and earth, so Jesus had to command/submit his own spirit to the Father.
The
same spirit which rose Jesus from death dwells in you and the same Spirit
guides you to develop a standard of faith, Faith comes by hearing the Word of
God and you enrich the standard of faith by interacting with HIM (through
Prayer) continuously.
Realizing
death is conquered, fear vanishes. Because you realize you are sealed with Holy
Spirit inside you and nothing can come against HIM.
When
you realize that the Holy Spirit lives in you, you stand erect and turn to be
more than a conqueror as you have developed a standard of faith in Him and
deeply connected to HIM.
People
fail when there is no such revelation taught resulting no such faith to believe
in this. A deeper interaction (intimate relationship) with God reveals the
deeper things which are beyond man's thinking and imagination. God interacts(speaks)
to you according to your faith level in Him.
Man
tries at his best to understand the Holy Spirit with logic's - a problem! It's
impossible to understand the Spirit with a logical mind. One need faith to
understand, to realize and to seek HIM and live a fearless life void of all
vile of the devil. The devil cannot touch man who is connected to the Holy
Spirit intimately and surely the devil is bound to flee from a believer’s life.
Amen.
