Let God be your fortress
[[1Pe 1:5]] KJV Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
[[Luk 9:42-43/KJV]]
42 ...Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God....
In Castles their was built a keep which was meant to be almost impossible to breach; in modern times men build panic rooms and bunkers. They are built to protect from any enemy that is a threat to our lives.
For the christian we are kept by the power of God...think on that. What created thing is capable of taking something from God. before I leave this idea let me say that not only does a keep hold enemies out but it holds its inhabitants in. If they allow fear or panic to convince them to flee they will find that they are held in.
What of Gods power is tangible to us is shown in microcosm in Luke. Jesus alone can do these things; for we see his disciples are unable. He rebukes the evil spirit from us, heals us, and delivers us unto our Heavenly Father. (a note about this evil spirit...the word spirit is literally our breath...we take in the good of Gods providence and we exhale what is poisonous to us and those around us...but when God breaths his Holy Spirit into us it is to be what now comes out)
How do we enter this living protective power...faith. Faith is not a energy to be increased or a knowledge to be increased but simply a trust and reliance....when I get out of my bed I do not look to see if my floor is there...I do not poke it to see if it can hold me...I simply stand on it and walk by faith by such I experience its stability.
In this way we experience Gods power and safety only when we trust and rely on its stability, set ourselves upon it and walk.
As Jesus is to live in and through us being revealed as the Son of God to all we meet...we too are sons but we are to be hidden in him...no one should see us until God reveals us as his sons on that day.
Trust Him to live in and through you on this earth, while you live seated in heaven in and by Him.
