Lord' s Pray⑦
『And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil』, God chose the foolish way of evangelism to achieve salvation. Jesus
made twelve disciples and preached the gospel to the end of the world. However,
because of having a weak body in the process of evangelism, the prayer,
"Let us not fall by Satan's deception," is the prayer "lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
Jesus also
said, "Do not fall into evil." The Bible says in John (17:15).『I pray not that
thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them
from the evil. 』 Although Jesus' disciples could fall into evil
when they go out into the world and preach the gospel, Jesus prayed to God for
his disciples so that they might not fall into that evil. Jesus was tested by
Satan before God began his public works. Jesus defeated all temptations and
defeated Satan. We are not to be tempted from Satan. As we expand the kingdom
of God and witness the divine forgiveness of our sins, we must pray that we
will not be tempted and fall into evil while in this world.
It is evil to
leave God. This is an old man derived from the flesh and from Satan. The
apostle Paul says in Ephesians (6:12).『 For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 』 Those who have a body have no power to fight
wicked spirits. The power to fight evil spirits is the Holy Spirit and the Word
of God. That is the gospel of salvation. Satan has everything in the world and
is trying to knock down the saints. Because the saints have a body, even if
there are temptations of the world, they must pray for their evangelism, not to
fall, to fall into evil, and to overcome them.
Says in
Matthew(24:24).『For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.』 To those who carry life, Satan will not just look. Pray for evangelism.
In order for God's name to be glorified, we must have God's will done on earth.
We must make those who have left God repent and turn back to God. This is
evangelism.
