Lord, we thank You for Your Holy Spirit. He leads us to Jesus, our
Saviour (John 15:26). Help us, Lord, to "hear what the Spirit is
saying" to us (Revelation 3:22). He calls us to hear the voice of Jesus
- "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and
opens the door, I will come in to him ... "(Revelation 3:20). He calls
us to receive us the new life which begins, for each one of us, when
we say, "Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Come in today. Come in to
stay. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus."
We thank You, Lord, that our determined enemy - Satan - is Your defeated enemy. To us, the devil seems so powerful. In Your eyes, He is defeated - defeated by Jesus, our crucified Saviour and risen Lord. Jesus has triumphed over Satan. He has won the victory for us (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14-15). Lord, Your Word says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 5:7). Will he really flee from us? He flees from Jesus - but, surely, not from us? Have we not forgotten something? - Jesus won the victory for us. He gives His victory to us. Help us to resist the devil - in the victorious Name of Jesus. He will flee from us. Why? Because Jesus is Lord over Satan. It's not us he's fleeing from. It's Jesus. When the devil comes 'knocking on our door', help us to send Jesus to the door - and send him packing!
