Don't let the devil gum you to death!

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. - 1 Peter 5:6-8

The bible says we are to cast all our care upon Jesus for He cares dearly for us. He loves us more than we love ourselves. The bible also says those who are heavy burden are to turn to Jesus and be at rest for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. When things are directed by the Holy Spirit, the work shall be effortless. The result shall be perfect for it is of the Lord's doing.

When we cast our care upon Jesus, we can live the let go life knowing Jesus will turn every defeat into victory, every cry into joy, every sorrow into happiness, every disease into pink of health! We are more than a conqueror for Jesus is our Conqueror! We sit back and watch what Jesus does. That's not to say we simply don't work and just laze our time at home. It just means that we are working with the rest from within. We shall work stress-free. There will be challenges and obstacles in our paths but Jesus already has the answer to these challenges and obstacles!

Look for His wisdom in those difficult times. It may seems like walking in the shadow of the valley of death but we are definitely going to walk through it through Christ who strengthens us from within. All things are possible to God.

The bible says we are to be aware, be sober and be vigilant for the devil goes about looking for those he may devour. The bible also says the devil goes about LIKE a roaring lion. The bible says like and this means that he is trying to imitate God to scare us out of our rest. To shake our foundation of truth and righteousness. He is trying to bring fear and condemnation into our lives. As long he can't succeed in his only tactic, there is no way he can make inroad into our lives to destroy every other aspect of our lives.

When are declare we are the righteousness of God in Christ, we are cementing his defect by Christ Jesus at the cross. For Christ was risen three days after crucifixion to show the world He has conquer death and the devil has lost his power over the people on earth. He has no more right to present himself in front of God to accuse us of our wrongdoings for Jesus has sprinkled His precious on the mercy seat!

We are now children of God. We are the righteousness of God in Christ. Don't allow the devil to deceive us into believing we can be out of fellowship with God when we sin. Jesus Christ has taken our place of sin at the cross some two thousand years ago and divinely gave us His state of righteousness. We can come to Abba Father any time and anywhere. There is no such thing as the appointed time with God and the moment we miss that appointed time, we will have to wait for another appointed time. That is utter nonsense!

We can be conscious of the presence of Jesus in our lives every minute and every second. We can fellowship with God any time of the day. For some of us, it may be the time on the way to work, be it in a car or any other form of transport. For some of us, it may be the time when we are seated on our "great white throne". Whatever and whenever, come to God boldly for Jesus has paid for our redemption with His blood.

Fix your eyes upon Jesus. Be at rest for out of it springs the issues of life. Hallelujah!
