Good to know…
Today’s was an interesting entry. I’ve heard people ask whether or not Christians can be possessed, and I haven’t heard lots of informed discussion about it. In other words, nobody is sure.
So as a point of information, it’s good to know – we can’t be taken over (I don’t watch horror movies, but insert your favorite movie reference here), but we can give up a measure of freedom in our lives and expose ourselves to demonic influence.
And as a point of application, it’s motivating to me to make good choices and stay connected and dependent on my heavenly Father because I don’t want to lose that freedom.
And as I walk with other people through life and consequences, it’s going to help me if I know what’s in play because I understand the big picture. I’m going to be more effective in praying for that person and in how I talk to them.
I’m so grateful for this: We have all the sanctuary we need in Christ, and we have the armor of God to protect us.
Good to know about the demon possession and that none are recorded in the Bible after the cross.
ReplyDeleteSatan can never own you but he can deceive you into yielding control. Like a vampire he must be invited in. So if we are deceived we can lose control and loss our freedom, but we cannot be taken over because we are protected by the armor of God.
Thank you God that makes me safe, “the protection of God’s armor.”
