Deliver us from Evil...
Many Christians are in a struggle between God and Satan. It could be because of the vast and quick type of communications that are available to us via the net or media and morality being at it's lowest.
Christians belong to God and Satan will do everything in his power to destroy that. That is his goal, his obsession. God has given us the means to overcome him and any of his evil spirits. Prayer.
Prayer overcomes every circumstance. So, here I will include some prayers for defeating the evil one.
Prayer for the BODY OF CHRIST
Our LORD and our GOD:
We do lift up to you this day your BODY, the BODY OF CHRIST, which is made up of all those who have believed your WORD and seek to follow it in their lives. Your BODY has become broken and crippled through division and the many lies of the enemy. For too long has the enemy weakened the CHURCH through traditions and man-made rule. Too long have we been broken and unable to fulfill the true mission of the BODY; to win souls for the kingdom.
1 John tells us that if we do not love our brothers and sisters in CHRIST we canot truly love GOD. Help us, ABBA, by honoring Jesus' prayer for us and teach us to love each other as he has loved us, to become one as you and he are one. When we are raised up once again to be the men, women, and children that you created us to be then we will make a powerful difference in this world.
We ask all these things in the name of JESUS, the AUTHOR and PERFECTOR of our faith. Amen.
