Who does the Devil Think He is?

 Devil: the chief opponent of God. The personal supreme spirit of evil.

Sometimes we get so busy that we start to lose focus of who we are. We start dragging; we start getting irritated about small things; and we may even stop praying and studying as much. It’s in those times that we begin to get spiritually weak... and the devil starts to get real busy. That’s when he starts filling our hearts and minds with evil thoughts; we become angry when there's no reason to be angry; and we start thinking that we deserve better. Friends, I’m here to tell you today exactly WHO we are and WHOSE we are.

I don't know who the devil thinks he is, but it's obvious that he doesn't stop to consider who we are. We are the children of the Most High God. We serve the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, the master and owner of everything. Need a little more? We are the seeds of Abraham and under the Abrahamic covenant. Jesus loves us so much that He died on that old rugged cross, so that we could live and spend eternity with Him. Ladies and gentlemen, we are the children of The One who loves unconditionally.

Not to mention, we are the righteousness of God. We are so special to Him that He paid the ultimate price for our sins, our iniquity, and our transgressions. They were all nailed to the cross some 2,000 years ago. On one side of the scale, we might seem like we are nothing to some folks - a regular old plain Jane (or John); but on the other side - we are special and precious in the sight of God. We are the apple of His eye and He has us in the palm of His hand. Like the song says, we are blessed in the city, and we are blessed in the field! We are the head and not the tail; we are above and not beneath! We are champions with the DNA of the Almighty God.

If it ever looks like the devil just doesn’t get it - your job is to let him know! You stand tall and tell that ole devil, “I am the redeemed of the Lord, blood bought, ‘a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light’” (1 Peter 2:9). We are so incredibly special to the Lord, so do our part by putting His chief opponent in his place.

With all that said, let the Church say Amen... and Amen!
