Another way to read this is, "Do not let
us fail the test. Deliver us from the evil
one and the plans he has for our lives."
The evil one is the devil.
But the Bible says, "For this purpose
the Son of God was manifested, that
He might destroy the works of the
devil."
1 John 3:8
Jesus came for the express purpose of
delivering us from the evil one and his
works.
Evil is the lack of good.
Prosperity, is a good thing, but poverty
is an evil thing because it is a lack of
resources.
Health is a good thing.
Sickness is an evil thing because it is a
lack of health and wholeness.
The devil is the evil one because he
comes to take away that which is good.
Jesus said, The thief does not come
except to steal and to kill and to
destroy. I have come that they may
have life, and have it more abundantly"
John 10:10
The devil comes to steal our health,
take our lives and destroy our well-being.
But Jesus has come to destroy the works
of the devil and give us life that goes
beyond all boundaries.
