The Message Must Prevail
“Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves”. Jesus speaking here saying to us even today, He sends us out to help fulfill the plan of reconciliation (share the gospel). As we go out we should know the wolves of this world are those trying to oppose the message of the gospel. We are to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, for our safety. We may go out like sheep but we have the backing of the God head to handle the wolves. Once we know our authority in Christ, we stop allowing much of the unnecessary attacks to overtake us. No weapon formed against us will prosper. The weapon may form against us but it won’t prosper unto the detriment, or demise of our purpose. We’re in a war down here, and hopefully we are aware of the devices of satan. He has nothing new under the sun. He comes with deception, strong temptations, inordinate desires, delusional thoughts, with mind binding spirits to attack our thought life, and that’s where the battle starts, in your head. So renew your mind with the word of God, think like Him, and wolves will know you know God, and then they’ll back off.
