Act Like You Are Consecrated

Have you tried giving yourself to God only to have the Devil try to convince you that you don’t feel any different?

Don’t underestimate the struggle you will go through once you accept the Lord as your personal savior and begin living holy and separate from the world. The Devil is not happy when someone leaves his playground. That is because the Devil realizes that He is no match for the Holy Spirit that lives within the heart of a Christian. The Devil considers it slander from those who break free from the den of addictions, fear and self-punishment. He is without honor and sensitive to any slight. He is an outsider to peace, grace, forgiveness and prosperity. The Devil will do anything in His power to make you feel as if you are not fit to be in God’s camp — that you can’t possibly be forgiven of your sins. He will send people your way to try and make you stumble or to remind you of your old self. These are all tests my friend. We gain strength by being forged in the fire. That is how we progress in our faith journey.

Act like you are consecrated. The Devil cannot take away what God has given to you. Once redeemed, forever redeemed. (John 10: 2-29)

By staying immersed in the promises of scripture and taking them to heart is like putting on the full armor of God and it is what will allow you to win the spiritual war that is aimed at you.

Hold your head up high dear Christian.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” I Corinthians 10:13
