No weapon turned against you will succeed. You will
silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These
benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their
vindication will come from Me. I, the Lord, have spoken!
Isaiah 54:17 NLT
As long as I am alive, I will always be a threat to the devil and his kingdom of demonic darkness...

And the reason for this is because my story of forgiveness, redemption, and hope, remains a challenge for him. Not that I am looking to have a conflict with the one whom the Scriptures refer as the "prince of this world" (John 12:31 and John 14:30), but my desire is to proclaim the name of Messiah Jesus to a lost and troubled world. In addition, the Lord has been using my story to bring people to a saving knowledge of Him.
This in itself invites trouble. It's impossible to live a life, in which Christ is lifted up, without incurring the wrath of the devil. As the Bible says, "Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12 NLT). This in itself is something of a declaration for war. Those who wish to serve Christ and proclaim the message of the gospel, will inevitably encounter opposition from Satan and his minions. And so it is. The devil will never stay silent when Christians openly proclaim Jesus as Savior and Lord. Hardships will come. That's a fact.
While in my case, even though I remain incarcerated, my story of redemption is reaching more people every day, leaving behind a very angry devil. Yet even as his "fiery darts" come at me from every direction, by the grace of God I remain standing in faith. The hexes and spells that witches and satanists have hurled at me over the years, have not succeeded in stopping me. Neither have their curses killed me, and God's Word assures me that they never will.
These individuals, whom I pray for, and hold nothing against, need to read Romans 8:35-39 in the New Testament. How that nothing can separate me from God's hands of protection, nor from His love. Neither persecution, nor danger, nor death, nor demons, and not even Satan himself can sever me from God's grip. This is a promise to me from the Lord Himself.* Amen!
D.B.
*Romans 8:35-39 is a promise for every one of the Lord's children (Romans 10:9-10).
