Put on the full armor of GOD so that you can
take your stand against the devil’s schemes - Ephesians 6:11
Faith Belivers,
The enemy of our GOD is our enemy as well.
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 as such,
proclaim the enemy’s defeat. It is apparent that he will do all he can to
prevent that from happening.
The real danger for us is our being unaware of the enemy’s
schemes. We approach every difficulty in church as though it is just a natural
thing. When churches divide over whether or not to use hymns or contemporary
choruses, that is not natural. When the pastor of the church turn out to be
a wolf in sheep clothing, that is not natural. When the saints, called to live in
love, spend their time criticizing and accusing one another, that is not natural. Beware of these schemes and understand when you see them. The devil has come to church!
~ Let us Pray ~
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 churches we attend.
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.
In Jesus' name,
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 churches we attend.
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.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
