I was thinking about what ALL that the devil will do take away someone's testimony. I was thinking about when people leave church or mess up their lives in the world. I was thinking about ALL that the devil can do to mess somebody up. The devil can take away our joy and our happiness. He can take away our innocence and purity and corrupt our minds. He can take away our peace of mind and hope for our future... He can take away our morals and ethics and righteousness. He can take it ALL AWAY...and leave us empty and broken...he can do all that...IF you let him...

BUUUUUT WHAT THE DEVIL CAN'T DO
BUT despite ALL that the devil CAN take from you, there is ONE THING that the devil CAN NEVER take from you!!!! What he can't EVER take away from you, is WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE FOR YOU!!!!
.
The devil wants to ruin you. He wants to destroy you. He wants make you think that you can't make it. That you've backslid, you've failed God, your turned your back on God so why even bother. Why even keep trying? He wants to take away what God's done for you...BUT he can't. The devil can't ever change what God has ALREADY DONE!!!
.
If you have ever obeyed Acts 2:38, repented of your sins, been baptized in Jesus name, YOUR SINS were washed away and the devil can't EVER change that!!! God has already FORGIVEN YOU!!! He has already filled YOU with the HOLY GHOST!!! He has ALREADY brought you salvation!!! He has already redeemed YOU!!! There is NOTHING the devil can ever do to change that!!! He can tempt you to sin, but he can't take away what God has already done for you, because, God ALREADY did it.
.
What it comes down to ultimately is one thing...CALVARY!!! It doesn't matter what you do or what you have done or what anyone says...the devil can NEVER take away CALVARY!!! Jesus has ALREADY died for YOU! Jesus already paid the price for every sin ever committed. He already took our place and became our sacrifice and there is nothing, nothing, NOTHING the devil can ever do to take that away!!!
