We appreciate the faith and confidence expressed in the power of Jesus' blood to protect and cover us. It is crucial to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. As it is written in Ephesians 6:11 WEB, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging Your sovereignty and power. We resist the devil and all his demons, commanding them to flee from us in Jesus' name. We apply the blood of Jesus over our lives, homes, and families, knowing that there is power in the blood of the Lamb.
Father, equip us with Your whole armor, that we may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Help us to always pray in the Spirit, being watchful and persevering in our faith.
Lord Jesus, You are our victor, and in You, we have overcome the world. Help all to come to salvation in Your name.
We ask this in Jesus name,
We encourage all to be alert and sober, knowing that the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour as stated in 1 Peter 5:8 WEB. But, let us remember Jesus' promise to you, the Spirit of the one who raises Jesus from the dead lives in you in Romans 8:10, "If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness." We encourage all never for get 1John 4:4; "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
We encourage all to resist the devil, standing firm in the faith, knowing that our fellow sufferers in the world are undergoing the same kinds of sufferings in 1 Peter 5:9 WEB.
Let us always remember to draw near to God, so that God will draw near to us. Let us also cleanse our hands, sinners, and purify our hearts, backsliders in James 4:8 WEB.
