Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (Ephesians 6:10-13, NASB)
Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary anniversary of the horrific attack on our homeland which killed almost 3,000 Americans, and launched the “War on Terror.” The Apostle Paul reminds us that the conflicts we face are “not against flesh and blood,” but rather are against evil. We commonly hear the term “Spiritual Warfare” when we talk about good versus evil. The Bible talks about God’s angels striving against the forces of darkness. I believe this is still going on today, and we are witnesses to such epic battles.
On this 9/11 I hope you’ll join me in praying for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and our Space Guardians; our first responders, our police and firefighters; and our health care professionals. Please pray for the families of the above as well. Pray for our Nation, that God would deliver us from our present troubles, and protect us from the forces of evil.
Many Americans today denigrate our Nation and wish to transform the very nature of our society. But I believe we are the last, best hope of the world. Why else would people risk life and limb to come here and join us? Please pray for our Land.
If My people pray . . .
