You Will Win With Judah LupisellaSample

You Will Win!

The devil himself will never be able to pry you out of the hands of the Living God.

The devil is a weak, worthless pile of garbage who deserves no mercy. Never feel bad for the devil. “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). That someone he’s seeking to devour is you.

Just as the devil (in the form of a serpent) was dangling a fruit of temptation in the eyes of Eve, the devil wants to tempt you with anything that will take your eyes off of God. The devil is the one whispering lies into your ears that don’t align with God’s Word. The devil is the one tormenting you at night with ungodly dreams and visions. The devil is the one oppressing you with depression. The devil is the one who wants to wreak havoc in your life, and the one who wants to constantly tempt you and cause you to stumble.

While there are plenty of things that we as humans bring upon ourselves by our own actions and our own wrongdoings, we know that the source of all of the evil and temptations that we’ve succumbed to come from the original tempter: the devil. The devil wants to do everything he can to cause you to sin. However, in the times that you do sin, you can’t use the excuse, “The devil made me do it” because he didn’t—you succumbed to sin with your own free will—but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

The devil wants to do everything he can to negatively affect your relationship with God and your viewpoint towards God. Many times, we look around at our life and wonder, “God, where are You?” and “God, why are You doing this to me?” when the reality is that what you’re experiencing is not God’s fault! Don’t point your finger at God; it’s the devil who is masquerading himself as an angel of light attempting to deceive you into thinking your pain and suffering comes from Jesus, when it doesn’t (see 2 Corinthians 11:14). The devil is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy you. Jesus came to give you life and life abundantly (see John 10:10)!

Here’s the thing, even though we just focused on the devil for a brief moment, he actually doesn’t have as much power as we sometimes give him with our words. The devil is a defeated foe who’s under the feet of Jesus, and since you’re a part of the body of Christ, the devil is under your feet too! Therefore, stop giving the devil so much power with your words, and shift your perspective to the reality that he’s weak, worthless, and worthy of nothing but scorn and rebuke.
