GUARD YOUR HEART

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

1 Peter 5: 8, 9 King James Version

Jesus tells us to be on the alert against the attacks of satan. It has been said “When you become a Christian, you never have any more problems”. That is when satan starts his vicious attacks. Before we were saved, satan didn’t have to worry about us because we weren’t a threat to him. When we start telling others about the Love of Jesus, it makes satan angry because he wants people to follow him and not Jesus.

One of the ways that satan attacks us is by telling us things that aren’t true. The day that I invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour, satan immediately told me that Jesus didn’t Love me. I got to the point where I doubted my salvation. That is a lie straight from the pits of hell. Jesus Loves us and when we accept His sacrificial death as an atonement for our sins and ask Him to forgive us and come into our heart and be our Saviour, we are saved and nothing or nobody can take His Love from us.

The Bible says that satan is looking for someone he can devour. Stay on guard! Don’t allow satan to fill your heart with bitterness and unforgiveness. Keep your heart in tune with Jesus. Ask Him to help you so satan won’t have a chance to fill your heart with his poisonous darts of hatred, criticism and sarcasm for your loved ones and friends. Jesus is faithful and He will walk beside you and give you the victory over satan.
