Clothed in God’s Character Binds the Devil
Do you have the power to endure anything that comes your way with a good temper? Here-in requires a deepened love walk with God. Since we are God’s chosen people, He says to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. These are the off spring of agape love. Once a believer begins walking in these attributes of God’s character, nothing can stop you. We overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). We are the Lord’s own hand picked representatives for His kingdom, to represent His way of living on planet earth. Our behavior will demonstrate our character, and hopefully our character will give a mirrored reflection of the Lord. Because we have this treasure in earthen vessels (our bodies), we are encouraged to look inside our hearts with the knowledge of His word to guide our every move (2 Corinthians 4:7). Being led by our spirits and not by our flesh will keep us on the straight and narrow pathway to victorious living. As God’s chosen people clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, throw in some self-control and nothing can stop you (Galatians 5:22-23). The devil won’t see you, he’ll only see the Lord, because you’re clothed in God’s character.
