FEB 9 2026 Jesus Has It All
You
lost almost everything else, but you never lost your faith. Satan
couldn't steal your faith. You knew what the word of God said
about eternal salvation; that as long as you believed in Jesus, he
would never leave you or forsake you. It was his word which kept
you alive. You simply were too stubborn to let satan take your
soul, even when the devil tried to get you to sell your soul. He
offered you the world. But you had already tasted of the other
world and you didn't want what satan had to offer. You wanted
God to realize he was messing up, that's all. You acted like any
selfish, spoiled, stubborn, disobedient child will act. And you
waited, and waited, and waited on God to do what you wanted him to do
for you. "Once that happens," you thought, "I'll
do what God wants me to do." Finally, God did do something
for you, only not what you'd hoped he'd do. He let you make a
mess out of your life, so you would have nothing to lose in giving
your life back to him. It worked. You decided to follow the
Lord once again. That's when you got what you really needed;
peace, joy, and contentment. That's how you learned God's way is
the only way. So here you are, happy in Jesus again. Oh
what joy it brings to your soul! Serving God beats serving the
devil any day.
You eventually saw what satan
was up to. You saw how satan was using the things you wanted, to
destroy you. When you were committing sin, living in immorality,
partying and living in rebellion, even when you were trying as hard
as you could to ruin your own life, even then the devil couldn't take
your faith, your soul, or your life. So now that you are walking
in the paths of the Lord, why should you be afraid of satan? Why
should you fear man? What does this world have that you would
ever want? Nothing. You want nothing of this world. It
all leads to death. Jesus is keeping you alive. Jesus has
everything you want. Anything Jesus has ever done for anybody,
he will do it for you. All things are possible to him who
believes.
Be not afraid of the rulers of the
darkness of this world. They are afraid of you. You're out
to expose their lies and their deeds. You're out to proclaim the
truth, that all men can be free of the power of evil and the fear of
death. The stronger you get, as you walk in the light and learn
to daily grow in your trust in the grace of the Lord Jesus, the more
fearful hell gets, for satan sees his days are numbered and his
kingdom is coming to an end. He knows his punishment and torment
is soon at hand, and he is terrified and angry. Very angry.
