Evil “Jabez knew that the more you do for God and the more God does through you, the more you are being set up for the devil to tempt you, trip you, and trap you.” - James Merritt Keep These Two Understandings In Mind As You Pray To Be Kept From Evil…… 1. You Need Protection From Evil 1 Chronicles 4:10 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. Life is filled with pain! II. You Need Discipline Not To Promote Evil 1 Chronicles 4:10 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. How are we the source of pain for others? Our WORDS are the most common source of pain for others today. Proverbs 18:21 21 Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. “There is no growth without change. And there is no change without loss. And there is no loss without pain.” – Rick Warren Proverbs 21:31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.
