" ARE YOU PRAYED UP? "

Hello All,

This week I wish to talk with you about being prepared. Please try to understand that we are in a fight for our lives and the lives that we are responsible for. Do you have a spouse and children that are under your care, if so then be mindful that we are in a Spiritual Battle that can take us down at any moment. Whether you're a seasoned Christian or a new born babe in the woods you must always be Prayed Up.

Although Christians may be at different levels in earthly society, we are all equal in the sight of God. He does not play favorites; no one is more important than anyone else. Take Job:(2 ) " The Lord said to Satan, Where have you come from? " Then Satan answered the Lord and said, FROM ROAMING ABOUT ON THE EARTH AND WALKING AROUND ON IT " (3) Then the Lord said to Satan, " Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to ruin him without cause " (Job 2:2-3).


At Jesus' birth, Satan's power and control were disrupted. In the wilderness Jesus overcame the devil's temptations, and the resurrection he defeated Satan's ultimate weapon, death. Eventually Satan will be constrained forever, and evil will no longer pervade the earth. Jesus has complete power and authority over Satan and all of his forces.

" Or how can anyone enter the strongman's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strongman? And then he will plunder his house " (Matt 12:29). Please take heed, put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. You must be Prayed up, pray without ceasing. Make quick and brief prayers your continual response to every situation you meet throughout your day. Order your life around God's desires and teachings so that your very life becomes a prayer. You don't have to isolate yourself from other people and from daily work in order to pray constantly. You can make prayer your life and your life a prayer while living in a world that needs God's powerful influence. "Praying for all the Saints " means praying for all believers in Christ; So pray for Christians you know and for the Church around the world.

Until Next Time...
