John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
When the God-centered type of conversion is accomplished in us, our faith would not fail when subjected to ferocious temptations from the devil. There would not be any responding chord on the inside, for satan’s darts to latch onto, so as to trigger an ungodly response, like the old man was accustomed to do.
Persons can then be shaken upside down and inside out, and yet temptations, trials and challenges will only make us stronger. To put it more plainly, it can then be said of such persons that “the prince of this world cometh, and finds nothing in me.”
[Great Controversy pp 622] Satan finds in human hearts some point where he can gain a foot-hold; some sinful desire is cherished, by means of which his temptations assert their power. But Christ declared of himself, “The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” [John 14:30.]
Romans 8:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
