“Jesus I know, and Paul l know: but who are ye?” Acts 19:15
We talk sometimes about our desire to maintain, like John,
the testimony of Jesus on earth. Let us remember that this testimony is based
not on what we can say about this or that, but on what Satan can say about us.
God has put us in this world, and often he locates us in some specially
difficult places, where we are tempted to feel that worldlings have a much
easier time than do Christians.
The question is: Of what account are we in the realm of
principalities and powers? Evil spirits can see right through the witness of
man. They can tell when it is compromised by half-heartedness or insincerity.
Because they believe, they know when to tremble. And let me say this: since our
most important task is their overthrow, it is better always that we should have
the witness of evil powers than the praise of men.
