Put on the full armor of GOD, so that you can take your stand against the
devil’s schemes - Ephesians 6:11
The enemy of our GOD is our enemy.
We are not in a neutral position.
When
Christians gather as the church, we become a real threat to satan.
We are there
to worship, to pray, to teach, to instruct and to encourage one another
to live
and proclaim the kingdom of GOD; and to proclaim the enemy’s defeat.
It is
apparent that satan will do all he can to prevent that from happening.
The real danger for us is being unaware of the enemy’s schemes.
We accept
every attack on the church from the enemy
as though it’s just a natural thing.
as though it’s just a natural thing.
When churches divide over whether or not to use hymn books
or a contemporary choir,
or a contemporary choir,
it is not natural.
When the flock turns on the shepherd, it is not
natural.
When Christians, who are called to live in love,
spend their time criticizing and accusing one another,
spend their time criticizing and accusing one another,
it is not natural.
The devil has come to
church!
He beats the door down every Sunday to make sure he is on time for
church.
Prayer:
Father Lord,
I know how much You love Your Church.
Because of
that great love, help us to wake up
and begin to understand the schemes of the
enemy against Your people.
Give us insight into the spiritual attacks
against
the Bride of Christ, which is the church.
Show us how to pray in a way that sets
the devil to flight
and brings the overcoming power of Your victory into our
congregations.
Amen
