By Paul Dhinakaran
The
one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning
from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the
devil’s work. (1 John 3:8)
My dearly Beloved
Our heart is the most affected area of our body, especially, if someone has wronged us by their words, actions and wicked ways. This even happens within the body of Christ. Satan uses people to hurt us and wound our hearts as he knows that is the most sensitive area. People generally draw back or harden their hearts when they are hurt by wicked people. We are heartbroken when we see these very wicked people prosper before our eyes. The devil uses every weapon he has to pull us down and away from the promises and will of God. But we can turn this around as well and make the devil flee from us.
Just uttering the name of Jesus will not make the devil run away. We need to carry Jesus in our hearts as the devil recognizes and acknowledges that He is God. You will have God’s protection when you honor God through your body and live a righteous life. The devil will think twice about venturing anywhere near you.
Soon after the demise of my father Bro. Dhinakaran, I had scheduled to go to Nagercoil (Tamil Nadu) to conduct the Jesus Calls Prayer Festival. With a heavy heart, I asked the Lord to accompany me because my father was no longer with us. On the very first day of the meeting, a crowd of 40,000 people had gathered. When I began to sing the theme song of ‘Jesus Calls,’ a woman possessed by an evil spirit began to scream. She pointed out to the stage and shouted, “The Lord Jesus is standing near Bro. Paul Dhinakaran.” Everyone sat stunned when she said this.
Beloved, today, if you have not yet committed your life to Jesus, and if you have been just telling, “I know Jesus is God,’ open your heart to Him. It is not enough to strive hard. If you love Jesus and carry Him in your heart in righteousness before Him, He will bless you with a hundredfold blessing. Do not let the devil corrupt your heart and mind. Let the Lord's presence be always with you wherever you go. With the Lord Jesus always with you, you can do exploits for Him and bring the kingdom of God to Earth.
