If He Could Have, He Would Have Already


If the devil could have taken your lifestyle by now, he would have.

Just the seemingly insignificant fact that you are still here, in the land of the living, is a powerful testament that God has a particular purpose and a plan for your life.

God has a reason for you being here. That's why Satan has been attacking your mind and your spirit so fiercely.

If the devil could have destroyed you, he would have.

If he could have destroyed Shadrach, MeShach, and Abendego, he would have.

If he could have destroyed Daniel in the lion's den, he would have.

If he could have destroyed David, he would have.

If he could have destroyed Job, he would have.

If he could have destroyed Jesus the Christ on Calvary, he would have.

But, the blunt truth is...he couldn't.

You may genuinely think that this is the worst time of your life, but it is just a trial. God is not through with you yet! The enemy is trying to take you out, but be encouraged, my brothers and sisters... If he could have destroyed you, he would have done it a long time ago.

The word of God says: "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; We are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; Cast down, but not destroyed;" (2 Cor.4: 8. 9).

We have the enduring love of God, and as long as we have Him, the enemy can't destroy us.

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)

You can make it! Because if Satan could have torn you apart, he already would have!
