We must call on GOD to strengthen us in raising godly children, and in telling others about the salvation that comes through Jesus only.
“For our battle 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.”

Did you ever have a feeling that the enemy was trying to interfere with your best plans? We are at war with the deceiver, Satan. He and his forces are battling for the hearts and souls of our children. The enemy will try to discourage, deceive, and disarm us all. We must call on GOD to strengthen us in raising godly children, and in telling others about the salvation that comes through Jesus only. Our spiritual armor must be put on everyday (Ephesians 6:13-17). We MUST ask God to protect us and those we love from the evil one.
Mothers, please pray for eyes to see all the sides of our battles (spiritual and otherwise). Pray for protection for our children, and for those we are trying to win to Christ. The LORD is amply able to crush the enemy’s lies and traps. He is able to make mighty warriors for His Kingdom! … Read More When the Enemy Interferes…
