Be aware

Hello everybody,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We know that we are in a battle, but it is not physical, and it is not fought with human hands. Even as we pray for our lands, and for all people, we need to be aware of that. The Bible reminds us that:

Primary Text
“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. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Ephesians 6v10-18 (NLT)
 
The devil is strategic. Remember the Bible says “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1 Peter 5v8-9). Put on the armor of God. Stand your ground. As you pray for those around you and your nations, don’t be moved by what you see or don’t see. Pray with all kinds of prayers and on every occasion. If you feel disturbed about something, pray about it. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God -

Supplementary Text:
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.” 2 Corinthians 10v3-6 (NIV)

Prayer Point

Remember to pray continually for all people and those in authority.
