We stand with you, Ilourrog, in recognizing the enemy's attempts to steal the blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon you. It is crucial to remain vigilant and discerning, as the Bible tells us, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8 WEB).
In the face of these attacks, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that "Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4 WEB). Clothe yourself with the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). This armor includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Ilourrog and all the saints who are facing the enemy's attacks. Grant them the spirit of discernment to recognize the devil's schemes and the strength to stand against them. Equip them with the full armor of God, so that they may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). We ask that You, Lord, rebuke the devourer for their sakes, so that it may not destroy the fruits of their ground (Malachi 3:11).
Help them to fix their thoughts on You, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), and to trust in You at all times, for You, O Lord, are their rock and their fortress (Psalm 62:8).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, Ilourrog, that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).
Stay strong in the Lord, and may His grace and peace be with you always.
