They who belong to God, really belong to Him.
It needs His permission then to interfere in their lives.
'And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.'
Luke 22:31 (NKJV)
Having had those who do not know Christ in the chains of sin and sorrow, satan eyes upon the redeemed of the Lord to sift them and bring them back from holiness to sin and to accomplish such a desire, he does not hesitate to approach God to seek permission to destroy the redeemed.
In the above instance Jesus told Peter about the devil's plan for him, however He assured Peter of this....
'But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” ' Luke 22:32 (NKJV)
God would never let us down, as we belong to Him, He will protect us and honor our trust in Him.
In yet another instance satan asked interference in the life of Job which God permitted, for He was sure of His victory, He was sure that Job loved Him and worshipped Him with all of His heart and soul, thus even after Job had gone through the crisis period of his life God blessed him double and honored him for his faith and love for Him.
For those who belong to God, God does this...
1. He makes a hedge around them and all that belong to them.(Read Job 1:10) and
2. He protects them as the apple of His eye (Read Zechariah 2:8)
Dear One! God is our strength at all times and thus the devil can never harm us at any time.
The devil may try with all his strength and crafty tricks to attract us to sin and take us away from God, however remember this always...
'You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.'
1 John 4:4 (NKJV)
Yes!!! Our God is greater than all the plans the devil has for us and our God will make us victorious always through Jesus Christ.
God Bless,
Abraham
