Text: Leviticus 11:43-47

If you can live in a way that makes you dwell in the presence of the Lord forever, you have nothing to fear anymore. When trouble comes, God will hide you in his inner room until the war or battle is over. You will become untouchable and will find yourself always above your enemies. Even if the devil should gather all his hosts against you alone, you will only be singing praises to God because they will not be able to reach you. God wants you to wear Him as Armour. He wants to be your light and Salvation so that there will be nothing to fear day or night.

Psalms 118:6 says: “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” If you are sure that the Lord is on your side, then there is nothing to fear. However, how can you have the Lord on your side when you commit adultery, steal or commit any other sin? Proverbs 3:1-2 says: “My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments; for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”

Also Proverbs 3:21-26 says, “My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion: so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shall thou walk in the way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” If you live holy, you can sleep like a baby. There will be nothing that wizards and wishes can do to you. If you want to trample upon a poisonous serpent, you must put on hard shoes. If you should temple on a serpent’s head with bare feet, you risk being hurt in the process.

In the same manner, you must make sure that you wear the LORD as a garment, day and night, to be able to face the devil. If you delight in obeying the Lord, you will be eternally secure, provided you are holy. Remember, holiness makes you the apple of God’s eye. Keep on pursuing holiness as this will keep you close to the Father’s heart.
