Daily Prayer - Strength in numbers

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.
 
There is strength in numbers.  This is true in spiritual battle as well as physical battle.  When Paul talks of putting on the "full armor of God" he uses the plural: "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12). So let's help and encourage one  another to don our armor.  Let's stand together against the evil one.  This prayer is our declaration of unity in the battle. 

Grace and peace and victory be ours!

Father, as we live in the Light of Your Word the devil's venomous plots are exposed. 
 
We are not caught by surprise but rather we are filled with Your Spirit which prepares us to be on the offense rather than defense.

 

We walk in truth and confidence as we stand strong on the day of evil.
 
As we wear the full armor You have provided for our protection we can fight against the devil's evil tricks.
 
Our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of this world's darkness and the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world.
 
So we pray in the spirit continuously asking for Your help, strength, and guidance.
 
We also pray for our brothers and sisters that together we will stand firm against the enemy of our souls. 
 
Amen.
