We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 1 John 5:18
Everything we as born again Christian’s do is to be led by the Spirit.
Keeping ourselves is no different. Sin is the door of access by which the Devil gains access to our lives to influence us in evil ways.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:13
The Spirit leads us and guides to protect ourself from the enemy, to live sober and righteous in this wicked culture.
Many however are ignorant of these things, spending their time integrating their mind with the things of this world, and they are easily taken captive by the Devil to do his will.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. Luke 11:34-35
Using our eyes and ears to intergrate ourselves with the things of the world will weaken us and cause the light in us to grow dim and eventually dark, therefore dulling our sensitivity to the leading of the Spirit.
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4
The Spirit longs for us jealously, and desires for us to draw near to our Refuge and Fortress, and learn to dwell under the shadow of His wings… dwelling in His Presence.
Making our homes a sanctuary of His peace and glory.
The Spirit desires to rest upon our homes and families as a cloud by day and a fire by night, protecting us and our children.
Are we cooperating with the Spirit?
