When people oppose you because of your faith

“For my love they are my adversaries:” Psalm 109:4a
Who is your love?
Is it Jesus?

You will not be in want for adversaries… weather physical or spiritual.  But there is a strategy for taking care of this…

The “Event Horizon”… where the Devil can’t get you

The “Event Horizon” is the term for the point near a black hole where the gravity is so intense that there is no way to escape it.
It is a point of no return.  It is a point of position that determines where you are going.
I wonder… is there a point like this where we have gotten so close to Jesus… so drawn in by Him… that the devil and his demons wouldn’t be able to touch us?  Is there a point where our proximity to Jesus draws us so close to Him that the Light He is dispels every attempt of darkness to draw near?
I think so.

Almost in all evil… (Proverbs 5:14)

“I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.” Proverbs 5: 12

We have all been in that place.  Hopefully we catch ourselves before we get there.  It is eye-opening, though,  whenever it happens. 
But we aren’t the first to be there and the Word of God gives us instruction on how to avoid it…
