Portland protesters burn Flags and Bibles! WHAT??????
I know that all that is going in our world has us wondering where people’s minds have gone. But may I tell you, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the evil forces from hell!!
The battles lines have been drawn! Good vs Evil!
The trumpet has been sounded for the true believers to stand firm in their Faith and Go forth in Power and victory to stamp out the evil that is rampant!
Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
As Christians we know we are on the winning side, but we are called to battle the evil one.
Not with the normal weapons of war. Our weapons are those that only belong to the child of the Creator God!
In 1st Kings 18 in the word of God, Elijah faced the four-hundred-fifty prophets of Baal and the four-hundred profits of Asherah and defeat them. HOW? By calling on the Lord God who made heaven and earth!
HE PRAYED!!!
Elijah could have decided he was outnumbered and could not be victorious, but he knew His God was the True and Living God with whom Nothing is Impossible!
And the result:
1 Kings 18:39 (KJV)
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
When Jesus was in the wilderness at the beginning of His public ministry being tempted by satan how did He defeat the enemy of all that is good?
BY: “IT IS WRITTEN!”
He quoted the written word of God which comes alive through the Spirt of God, and every plan of the enemy was defeated!
What are our weapons against all the insanity originating with the already defeated devil?
PRAYER AND THE WORD, WHICH IS TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SETS US FREE!
Maybe a lot of you are thinking that you really want to get in this Spiritual Battle that is raging but are not even sure how to begin!
Begin by combining the praying and scripture and pray the scriptures!
Pray out loud so the enemy can hear, scriptures like:
Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV)
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 John 5:4 (KJV)
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Psalm 61:3 (KJV)
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
1 Corinthians 15:57 (KJV)
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 47:1-3 (KJV)
O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
The Bible is filled with scriptures of victory and encouragement and as you pray those and begin to understand the Power of Almighty God you can begin to declare the works of the enemy under your feet and the devils kingdom is coming down.
Jesus is victorious and as Christians we are victorious through Him!
The battles lines have been clearly drawn between good and evil.
Pastor Rick at Joshua’s Place has called for prayer in the church sanctuary each Friday and Saturday night at 6 P.M. beginning August 14th, 2020.
This will continue until the election. We will be praying for revival in the United States and the World and the November election.
If you cannot be there in person, please try to join this prayer time from wherever you are!
The battle lines are drawn! Will we use the mighty weapons God has given us?
_________________________________________
Father, thank you that you have provided the weapons. Let us take up those weapons of prayer, truth of your word, power, and authority! Stir your people to battle in the Spiritual realm where the real battle is. I ask this in the most powerful name, Jesus of Nazareth! Amen
Love, MeMaw
