Set Apart From Evil
What fellowship can light have with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
Draw a spiritual line. "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Notice this verse doesn't say "the devil is a roaring lion"... it says "he walks about as a roaring lion," which means he cannot find you if you stay out of his territory.
A lady came forward during one of Dr. Sumrall's services. She was a junior church teacher and was asking for deliverance. As Dr. Sumrall prayed, a man's voice came out of that little teacher's body and said, "I don't have to leave. She wants me here. She came on my territory. She gave me the right to be here!" The voice told how she went to an R-rated movie containing pornography and profanity. She became bound because she went into the devil's territory.
We must set ourselves apart from the world. The Bible says, "Anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him" (1 John 5:18). The Word of God also says, "It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret" (Ephesians 5:12)-and yet Christians have chosen to be entertained by these things. Turn to Him and ask Him to lead you in what is pure. He will not fail you, but will honor your request.
