It highlights the importance of redeeming the time and being vigilant against the enemy's schemes to win souls. Believers are encouraged to ensure that the devil has no foothold in their lives, as every temptation faced has significance for the kingdom of heaven. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ His time is limited. The devil knows that. You know, we're taught to redeem the time. The devil knows his time is limited. So he's ramping up activity. And if he's ramping up activity, if he's coming at us with more force than he did back in Jesus day even, I believe, because he knows he's running out of time, and he's trying to win as many people as possible. What would we be absolutely certain about? Just one thing, brothers and sisters, that the prince of this world has nothing in me. That means that temptation you face on Wednesday afternoon when you're all by yourself matters for the kingdom of heaven. It does. That temptation you face on Friday night when you have the opportunity to sin matters for the kingdom of heaven. For that situation you're about to face that you don't know is coming. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/b3Mp3SSr3Nc.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/santosh-poonen/it-matters-for-the-kingdom-of-heaven/ ========================================================================
