You Have To Be Better Than Demons

Friday, February 21, 2020

In the Scriptures, Messiah commanded unclean spirits. They heard His command once and immediately obeyed. The demons were more responsive to the Lord than a lot of believers are today. Many believers struggle with obeying the Lord. We argue with Him. We delay obeying Him. We ignore Him. We put off doing what we know is His will, or we justify not obeying Him. But the demons obeyed Him instantly, without a long struggle. If demons, the enemies of God, obey Him without delay, without ignoring, without putting off, without rationalizing, how much more must we? If God is calling you to something, telling you to do something, or His Spirit is prompting you to something, but you're not doing it, you're only hurting and hindering your own life. The demons don't get any blessing in obeying Him, but you do. Just do what He says. Go where He leads. Trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Yeshua, Jesus, than to trust and obey. Beyond that, we have to have a better witness in our obedience to the Lord than demons.
