We must not allow anything, whatsoever
to get in between us and obedience to Jesus because the devil will
use those the closest to us to derail and to distract us, your wife,
your husband, your closest friend, your pastor, those whom you trust,
good people. Satan will use them to prevent you from doing the will
of God. He will use them to make you disobey God, to disobey Jesus.
We read in Matthew 16:21-23”From
that time Jesus Christ began to show His disciples that He must go to
Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22And
Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God
forbid it, Lord!
This shall never happen to You.” 23But
He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a
stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s
interests, but man’s.”
His closest companion, Peter, Jesus
rebukes him, He says to him:”GET BEHIND ME SATAN.” Satan was
trying to use Peter to stop Jesus from doing what God the Father had
sent Him to do. We often make the mistake of allowing ourselves to be
derailed, taken off track by a brother, a sister, a child, a father,
whomever, satan will use anybody.
Adam should have said to Eve, “GET
BEHIND ME SATAN,” but he didn't, he listened to Eve and was why he
died. That is a lesson to us. Do not allow anything or anybody to
come between you and Jesus. It doesn't matter who it is, LISTEN to
the voice of the Holy Spirit and OBEY Jesus. DO what He tells you to
do and to those who try to prevent you, you say:” GET YE BEHIND ME
SATAN!”
May Jesus bless you.
