YOU FAITH SHALL NOT BE DEVOURED

1 PETER 5:7-9a (TPT), JAMES 4:7 Pour out all your worries and stress upon him … for he always tenderly cares for you. Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

The greatest thing in your life that the devil earnestly seeks to attack and devour is your faith in God. He knows that your faith is your life because the just shall live by faith. He knows that through faith you please God and receive all that God’s grace has already provided for you. He knows that your faith is more valuable to God than gold that is purified in the fire, (1Pet.1:7).

The major way the devil tries to attack and devour your faith is by attacking and devouring the Word of God that is in your heart, (Matt.13:19). Every time the devil tries to confuse and distract a believer from hearing and understanding God’s Word, it is because He wants to weaken their faith. We must therefore not allow anything and anyone to confuse, distract or discourage us from filling ourselves with God’s Word. Allow the Word of God to take deep root in you through strong meditation and prayers and avoid getting offended and letting go of the Word of God in times of tribulation and persecution, (Matt. 13:20-21). Do not allow the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches to choke the Word of God out of your life. As you remain persistent in holding on to God’s Word and yielding yourself to it, the Word of God will progressively produce fruit in your life and your faith will not be devoured by the devil, (Matt.13:23). Your faith will be preserved.

PRAYER:
Father, please help me remain focused on filling myself with your word, meditating on it, praying it, declaring it and acting on it.
