There is a fierce battle going on in our world today; it is battle of the devil and his imps making their last futile attack on the children of God. Do you recognize the enemy? Do you realize that this world is not a playground, but a battleground?
It behooves all of God's people to be alert, and to put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand firm in these tumultuous times.
Ephesians 6:10-12 (NLT)
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
My brothers and my sisters I urge you read the remainder of [Eph 6:14-18], and don't take this warning lightly. The devil is not your friend; he is a liar, and lying is his native language.
Beware of the devil; it is fatal to put your trust in this enemy of God, and the enemy of God's children.
Luke 22:31 (NLT)
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
Jesus described Satan; the enemy of your mortal soul in the following fashion:
John 8:44 (NLT)
For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
I encourage you to run to Jesus and live under the shelter of His protectives arms. And, don't leave home without being dressed for spiritual warfare.
My dear beloved friends of Jesus, we need to live always in the presence of Jesus. He loves you and cares for you. He prays for you and will lead you on the path that leads to our Father's home in heaven.
Finally, don't ever underestimate the power and provisions of prayer. Our prayer life should be as healthy as breathing; when you stop, you are pronounced dead.
Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
When God's People Pray for One Another:
Acts 4:31 (NKJV)
And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Father God, Abba Father, we ask You on bended knees to pour out Your mighty power in our dark and dirty world. Father, we know that you will take those in the gutter-most, and lift them to the uttermost, and there live in Your presence now and forever. We give praise, and thanks to our God for Your lovingkindness, amazing grace, and tender mercies, Amen.
