Deliver Us from Distractions
“I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent
deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
2 CORINTHIANS 11:3
I have said many times that we do not need more of the Lord, since we
are already complete in Christ – we just need less of everything else.
There are many things that spoil, hinder, distract, and lead us away
from the simplicity of an abiding relationship with Jesus. Many of them
are spiritual and religious. The spirit of Antichrist is not necessarily
seen in something that is obviously satanic or demonic. Instead, the
spirit of Antichrist is revealed in anything that seeks to spoil us by
taking our eyes off of Christ – it is anti-Christ, against Christ,
antithetical to the great Purpose of God.
How easy it is for us to become distracted into something less
than Christ! Are you centered on Christ? Is Jesus your obsession? Is He
your focus? Or have you set your sights on something beneath Him?
