MINED-FIELDS

Because of past wars, large areas of several countries are still land-mined. These mines cause devastating injuries and death even years after a war is over.

Jesus' war on earth with the devil is over. "It was to destroy the devil's works that the Son of God revealed Himself" (1 Jn 3:8). Jesus is totally victorious. He "took His seat forever at the right hand of God; now He waits until His enemies are placed beneath His feet" (Heb 10:12-13). The war is over, but the spiritual land-mines of the evil one still remain and continue to harm those who are not walking with Jesus.

Therefore:

• Don't take a step without checking with Jesus (see Is 30:21).
• Warn others to watch their steps.
• Sweep the mined fields clean by prayer and fasting (see Mt 17:21).
• Lead others to walk with Christ — even in His footsteps (see 1 Pt 2:21).
• Encourage others to pray and fast.
• Thank Jesus for His victory and the guidance of the Holy Spirit (see Jn 16:13).
