The devil thought he won when Jesus died, but he was wrong. It was just the beginning. And he's been getting his butt kicked ever since.
We are God's children. If the devil wants us, well... he can't have us. Which is why he is on a rampage, trying and failing to get every child he can. But God's children were selected before the foundation of the world. It doesn't matter where you are right now in your life, if you're God's, He is going to get you one way or another, even if you're kicking and screaming the whole way. God won't give up on you because you are His child. Just as a good father wouldn't abandon his child to darkness, He is not going to abandon you.
If God is for us, then who can be against us?
This world is literally designed to destroy Christians. Everywhere we turn, even if it's just going to the store, evil lurks. Temptations lurk. It's everywhere. It's on the radio. It's on TV. It's on our phones. It's easier than ever to fall into sin.
But those filled with His Holy Spirit, that small elect few, are standing strong. We can't fail. God called us before the foundation of the world. We are His bride. He doesn't want Heaven without us. That's why He died for us. He just wants us. He just wants you. He has provided a way for you. He has been calling you. Gently knocking on your heart.
Will you answer Him?
If you've questioned, "Is He real?"... I want you to know that the devil didn't put that thought in your head. He doesn't want you wondering about God. He wants us to condemn and frown upon Him. The devil wants us to believe God is uncaring and nothing more than a dictator.
But that question... "Is He real?"
That wouldn't be there if God wasn't calling you. It couldn't be there.
If He is calling you, He isn't going to yell at you. It's a gentle knocking on your heart. A gentle voice.
Will you follow Me?
