Andrew Wommack Devotional 29 June 2021 – The Best Defense

Andrew Wommack Devotional 29 June 2021 Message

Which would you rather have – God defending you, or you defending yourself? That’s the choice that Jesus is offering us here. ‘Turning the other cheek’ is not a prescription for abuse but rather the way to get the Lord involved in your defense. Many people feel that these instructions of Jesus guarantee that others will take advantage of us. That would be true if there was no God.

But when we follow these commands of Jesus, the Lord is on our side. He said in Rom. 12:19, ‘Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.’ When we fight back, we are drawing on our own strength. But when we turn the other cheek, we are invoking God as our defense. Once we understand this, it becomes obvious that these instructions are for our own good.

James 1:20, says that the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God. Regardless of how appropriate our anger may seem, and regardless of how we think our wrath could make a person or situation change, we will never achieve God’s best that way. When we defend ourselves, we stop God from defending us. It has to be one way or the other. It cannot be both ways. When we turn the other cheek to our enemies, we are loosing the power of God on our behalf. Let God defend you today.
