Departing from evil.
When we understand-
we depart from evil. We are no longer inclined to embrace evil- at least not
spiritually. Jesus asks our Father to
keep us from evil, knowing this was paramount to us as those who would belong
to Him.
Job 28:28 And unto
man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from
evil is understanding.
Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out
of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Depart from evil.
Kept from evil.
Evil would have us
if it can, it will stop at nothing to get us. Jesus spoke nothing lightly!
Jesus asked the FATHER to keep us from the evil. Jesus wanted us to know that He was asking
the Father to do this for us. Jesus
PRAYED for us and His prayer will be heard! For all who would be His, He would
stop at nothing to keep us in His love. WE MUST desire this. WE have to desire
Christ to lead us now and forever. We
need to be kept from evil!
We need to also
depart from evil.
We cannot choose evil over Christ. We cannot choose
Satan over Christ. Satan is the ruler of this world and so much in this world
belongs to him. The evil has only grown and grown and the only way we've been
able to live with ourselves is because we call evil good now. We do. We call
evil good. We've blinded our eyes to the
evil. We have accepted the evil and call it life. If a person in a coma for a
hundred years woke up today and witnessed our world they would be totally
overwhelmed by the EVIL of today. They would NOT be amused by it. They'd be
appalled. We make movies of this sort and find it humorous to watch the people
from the past pulled to the future stumble about and find themselves drawn into
the evil. Rarely do we make movies that would have a person NOT accepting the
evil of this world. WE laugh at what
isn't funny, but we do so to fit in. We play along because we are helpless to
do otherwise in so many ways. The evil is surrounding us in this world and is
it any wonder our Savior prayed for us to be kept from the evil?
The only way we are
to be kept from the evil is by our God keeping us from it. WE must look to Him
for all things, for all hope!
Depart from evil.
Please, Father, save
us! Come Lord Jesus, come soon! We need You, we need You desperately! This
world is covered in evil. Keep us from that evil so we may be YOURS! Please,
Father, please once again I beg You to save us from ourselves, from our flesh
selves, from the evil that we are prone to do in the flesh. Please, Father. In
the name of the Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior!
Amen.
