This is my prayer: “LET MY TEACHING FALL LIKE RAIN and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.” (Deut. 32:2)
WE are unfortunately bombarded daily by various temptations from the devil, who’s mission is to KEEP US FROM HAVING A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy THE DEVIL 1PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) 1peripateō: to make due use of any opportunity to devour.
You see, that is the devil’s way of life, to tempt US to STAY away; so, what must WE do?
“RESIST HIM, STANDING FIRM IN YOUR FAITH, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” (1 Peter 5:9)
There are no “sidelines” in our service to God we are all told to put on the armor of God; “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Stand firm then…take the shield of faith…the sword of the Spirit, which is THE WORD OF GOD.” (Eph. 6:11, 14-17)
So, This is where I am involved it is my mission, because the devil battles us daily, so, daily I seek the Lord for what is needed, then, with MUCH PRAYER, send out the Word of God to help fortify your SPIRITUAL BEING…
“SUBMIT YOUR SELVES TO GOD, RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU!” (James 4:7)
