Sometimes when we are striving to be obedient and living according to what we know is right, that is when satan attacks us the most.
Recently my family has been working hard to serve our Lord and do His work; however satan has been hitting us from all sides. He has dealt financial blows, emotional struggles, and physical illness.
Our church has even come under attack from the enemy! We've got him attacking families in our church left and right, causing dissention and strife. We are going to have to pray against him hard and heavy if we want to win this battle.
The Word says in Romans 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love.
We will have to stand against the wiles of the devil, like it says in Ephesians 6:10-17
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Something I have learned over the years about church is that there are always going to be people in every church that will try to destroy it. Satan uses people to stir up trouble, they spread gossip and they make things hard for others.
I want to teach my Sunday School Class how to pray! I want to guide these amazing little people into a passion for Christ that never fades! As part of my ministry I pray that they will all Learn that God's gift of Salvation is something relevant and meaningful in their lives and that they will be Soul winners for Christ!
I want to challenge you to pray for your church. Pray for the Body of Christ in general that we will all be emboldened to share the word of God with others in such a way that we are saying God Is NOT Dead, he is surely alive!!
May God Bless you and keep you!
Mrs. G
