Greetings Prayer Warriors!
When you get frustrated with the state of your family, or even individuals in it, take heart, even the first family of Adam and Eve was a mess. They began their time on earth by disobeying God, lying about it, and then blaming each other! Then one of their offspring murdered the other out of jealousy, pride, and envy! This was the beginning, but certainly not the worst of Jesus’ own family tree!
We are blessed that we have a God of compassion, love, and forgiveness. While he reprimands us in different ways, He never stops loving us. He is the Supreme example of the perfection we are to strive for in relating to our family members.
I …urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received. Grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift, …to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Ephesians 4:1, 7,12-14
Now more than ever in this world that is full of deception, we must always have prayer on our lips. Time progresses, but just like in the garden, the Devil is still seeking the ruin of souls. We must stay close to the Truth, so that we won’t be fooled by the tricks and lies of the devil. We must examine our behavior daily and repent, seeking a path to holiness, thus being a witness to our family. We must hold tight to the Truth, helping others to recognize Him.
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. Ephesians 6:12-13
Encircle your family in prayer to hold your ground! And LOVE them to death!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Anger Satan by holding your ground through love and prayer! Pass it on!
