The David Spoon Experience 4-27-23 Part 2
1) The Devil steals, but the Lord heals. Let’s get ready to review that the spiritual warfare in our walk is real. It is crazy stuff to the world and worldly, to the unenlightened, but you and I have a sneaky suspicion that there is more going on than the natural eye reveals. Isn’t that funny? Not really, because that is EXACTLY what Jesus taught, MORE than He ever taught about the poor and almost as much as He taught about love.
2) The enemy has a plan to disrupt. I am not scripturally convinced that the Devil actually thinks he can win. If he could, why would he just leave Earth? He can’t! But he does whatever he can to create havoc wherever he can. He tries to bring darkness where there’s light and keep the light out of where the darkness is.
3) And here is the key to hold on to: A significant part of Jesus’ ministry is to stop the enemy from doing stuff. Jesus has effectively UNDONE the eternal consequences of sin through His redeeming blood and sacrifice. Jesus restored what the Devil stole from mankind in the Garden of Eden. And He restores a whole bunch more than that for us. But we need to have faith that He wants to. Have faith. He wants to.
