Saving The People

When faced with spiritual challenges, we have to overcome a foe we cannot see or hear. This may seem impossible, but it is real. Jesus told us we have a real enemy.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

He also tells us that He is here to give us an abundant life, which is just the opposite of the enemy. This is the same message that we have heard from the beginning. The psalmists wrote about this many times, telling us that God was our defender against this enemy. Against all enemies, really.

Psalms 28:6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

In the end, our only hope to fight an invisible enemy out to destroy us is God. But that is much more than enough. Think about it for a minute. God even made the enemy, therefore, in the end it is an easy thing for God to defeat him! Praise God for defeating those that oppose and oppress us!

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High God. We ask that You watch over us and protect us. Please forgive us our wrong doings, especially forgive us for any harm we have caused anyone. We thank You for Your mercy. Please send today the healing, the deliverance, and the provision we need for today. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
