Darkness does not care for the light. We are children of the light. When life’s struggles become overwhelming, we can take our ball and go home, or choose to fight. The fight I am referring to is not with flesh and blood. It is with the dark spiritual forces that attempt to overwhelm us. The Psalms contain many spiritual songs that tell tales of battling the evil one. They did it then, we are called to do it now.

This morning as I awoke from a dream God gave me a scripture. I was praying about certain seemingly harsh battles I am facing, and harsh battles others I know are facing as well. The scripture was Psalm 118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me [or pushed me hard] that I might fall: but the Lord helped me. We must resist the devil and he will flee.

Prayer
Father, I ask in Jesus name that You now rise up for us as You did for the children of Israel in the desert, and even before that, at the first passover. God, rise up and smite the gods of Egypt as in the scriptures. Strike down those that oppress. Deliver us from there evil plans to blot out Your name and take our land and our homes. Grind them to powder and send them in a whirlwind. In Jesus name, Father, do this quickly. Amen.
