WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:10-18  

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 20TH

Key verse: Matthew 5: 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. 
Our actual enemies are Satan and his demonic authorities, which we must seek to overcome and destroy through prayer, the word of God, the name of Jesus, and the use of all spiritual weapons and techniques given to us in the scriptures. God has instructed us to leave vengeance to Him. He has promised to handle our enemies.  Our duty is to pray for them and cast all our pains upon Him. There are some among our enemies that God will grant repentance, conversion, and deliverance through our prayers, just as the prayers of others saved us. There are some that He will judge with plagues while He may take away the lives of others. The prerogative is His. 
The scriptural prayers of the early church led to the conversion of their great persecutor, Saul of Tarsus, who later became the great apostle Paul. If they were not guided by the word of God in their prayer, they would have released the satanic spirit of death upon Paul when he was in the camp of the enemy. Similarly, their scriptural prayers led to the death of their great enemy Herod, by divine prerogative. They were not guilty of his death because they did not pray for it. The Scripture shows us clearly how our prayer and action should be towards our human enemies and persecutors. 
Satan is the one who answers unscriptural prayers and decrees of ignorant and so-called believers. They shall share with Satan in the judgment of God. Our human enemies employed by Satan against us are his captives who also desire to be delivered from his power. We who are believers today, enjoying Christ's liberty, were once under satanic captivity one way or the other. Christ came to set the captives free and not to destroy them. We are empowered to set human captives of Satan free and not to destroy them. 

Thought for the day: We are empowered to set captives of Satan free not to kill them.

Song for the day: My hands are blessed, with the blessings of God…

Bible reading for the day: Micah 4-5; Revelation 11

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
