Jesus Sets the Captives Free. Part [8] 06/27/2023 (Morning thought)

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

[The Great Controversy pp 517] The power and malice of Satan and his host might justly alarm us, were it not that we may find shelter and deliverance in the superior power of our Redeemer. If permitted they can distract our minds, disorder, torment our bodies, destroy our possessions, and our lives. Their only delight is in misery and destruction.

[3] The restraining power of God alone, is the only reason why humanity has not yet been plunged into irretrievable ruin, because it is the God factor in the human equation which keeps the wheels of sanity turning. The God-factor is the cohesive agent that keeps our rationality and sound judgement intact, for without it human beings will descend in to the abyss very quickly and will be found to be doing some very strange things.

[The Great Controversy pp 517] We carefully secure our houses with bolts and locks to protect our property and our lives from evil men; but we seldom think of the evil angels who are constantly seeking access to us, and against whose attacks we have, in our own strength, no method of defense.

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
