Your Deadly
Enemy
"I
would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again...." (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
Dear Julie,
Many of us, even though we're believers, have seen grief and sorrow as such a
natural part of life that we haven't even questioned them. In fact, if we're
honest, we'd have to admit there are times when we actually want to feel sad and
sorry for ourselves.
Why would we choose to feel sorrow? Because sorrow has an emotional kick to
it. It offers a surge of feeling that, in the beginning stages, is almost
intoxicating.
But grief and sorrow are dangerous things. Several years ago God showed me
that they're not the innocent emotions we've thought they were. The force behind
these emotions are actually spirit beings sent by the devil himself to kill,
steal and destroy.
They are a part of the devastating, satanic barrage Jesus took on Himself
when He died on the Cross (Is. 53). He bore grief and sorrow, so we wouldn't
have to. If they come knocking on your door, remember, they are not innocent
emotions. They are deadly enemies that Jesus already carried away at
Calvary.
Don't live as those who have no hope. You're a believer. You know that Jesus
Christ died for you and rose again. That not only gives you hope where physical
death is concerned, it gives you hope in every situation. Sorrow not! By Kenneth Copeland
Scripture Reading: Isaiah
