Years
ago Satan started a rumor. He told a few Christians they had to live
like the world, sharing all the same misfortune, defeat, poverty and
failure as those around them. Well, the word spread. You may have heard
the rumor yourself. But I am telling you right now that it is a crafty
lie.
The Word of God says in Psalm 91:10, that evil can’t even come near your house if you are abiding in Him.
In
John 16, Jesus Himself says He has deprived the world of power to harm
you. And Exodus 10:23 says that when thick darkness surrounded the
Egyptians, the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
By
these and other scriptures, you can see that God never intended you to
experience all of the junk that the world suffers. He’s always wanted
His children to live above it, to stand out as light in a dark world.
In
the Old Testament, God’s fame was established because of the miracles
He had worked for His children. That same thing should be true today
with you and me. We should be glorifying God by the miraculously
victorious lives we live. People should be coming up to us and saying
things like, “I’ve heard how God healed you.” Or, “I’ve heard how your
children were delivered from drugs,” or, “God has really brought you out
of a financial crisis.”
Can you see now why Satan would spread a
rumor that would make you believe you have to suffer with the world
instead of live as victor over it? He doesn’t want people running after
you asking where you get your power, your peace, your health and
prosperity.
But that’s exactly what God wants to happen. So, put
the Word of God to work and dare to receive the blessings He has
promised to you. Let the light of God’s power in your life put the
devil’s dark rumors to rest!
