We have entered a season of increased
accusation. The devil is nervous and he is increasing the intensity of his
primary ministry – accusing the saints of God. This is nothing new. The devil
has done this throughout history when he sees situations taking place in
individual lives and culture that indicate a fresh move of God is about to take
place. He brings these accusations in an attempt to convince you to move away
from your calling and destiny by focusing on your brokenness instead of God’s
goodness.
The Greek word used to describe the devil is a word
from which we get our English word, “diabolical”. The word “devil” has two parts. This first part of the word means “through”.
The second half is “to throw”. The devil is a person who throws his lies
through the portal of accusation. These
accusations have no real target because your sin is no longer present before
the eyes of God. Your sin is covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. The only
target the devil has for his accusation is our disbelief.
I want to suggest another response when you begin
to hear the accusations of hell. When
you hear them begin to dance with joy because these hellish accusations are one
of the greatest indicators God is about to release something fresh and new in
your life. Joy and the expectancy of God’s goodness is a target hell is unable
to hit.
“So if the Son sets you free, you will
be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
