As a Wall of Fire Against Temptation {a devotional}
As a Wall of Fire Against Temptation |
Satan
is continually seeking to influence human minds by his subtle arts. His
is a master mind, given of God, but prostituted with all its noble
capabilities to oppose and to make of no effect the counsels of the Most
High....
We
can overcome only by believing in every word that proceedeth from the
mouth of God. We must know what is written in order that we may not be
defeated by the sophistry and enchantments of Satan.... If we have been
ensnared by his enchanting power, let us in the name of Jesus rebuke his
power, and break with Satan without delay....
Those
who cry unto God for deliverance from the terrible spell that Satan
would weave about them, will set a high estimate upon the Scriptures.
Our only safety is in receiving the whole Bible, not taking merely
detached portions, but believing the whole truth. Your feet are upon
sliding sand if you depreciate one word that is written. The Bible is a
divine communication, and is as verily a message to the soul as though a
voice from heaven were heard speaking to us. With what awe and
reverence and humiliation should we come to the searching of the
Scriptures, that we may learn of eternal realities.... Let everyone
study the Bible, knowing that the Word of God is as enduring as the
eternal throne. If you come to the study of the Scriptures in humility,
with earnest prayer for guidance, angels of God will open to you its
living realities; and if you cherish the precepts of truth, they will be
to you as a wall of fire against the temptations, delusions, and
enchantments of Satan....
