Some years ago, without my knowledge, I was given a counterfeit 20 pound note. I didn’t realise it until the lady at the check-out eyed me suspiciously because it wasn’t the real thing. Thankfully, I wasn’t charged with a crime. But for a short time, I felt caught between the forces of truth and evil.
Two forces are at work in the world today: truth is working by the Holy Spirit, and evil is working by the energy of Satan, the devil, the father of lies. We feel this tension in our lives every day. Sadly, many Christians have one foot in the world and one foot in the life of faith. The Bible calls this lukewarm belief (Revelation 3:15-16).
Today, we are living in a crisis of faith. The spirit of the antichrist is working in this world. It is vitally important to stand strong in faith and to be able to recognize the lies and deceit of the evil one. Having daily devotions and a consistent life of prayer is a beautiful way to carry out your anointing. This anointing, the Bible tells us, is given to us by God and remains in us. Take comfort in this truth. Satan cannot snatch us away from God’s claim on our lives because of our anointing. You have an anointing from the Holy One, and that’s the truth.
The anointing you received from him … is real, not counterfeit – [so] just as it has taught you, remain in him. (1 John 2:27).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank you for your unfailing love and constant promises. Father, I praise you that my anointing is real and sent by you. Please Keep me strong, I pray in your name, Amen.
