A real-live battle between good and evil rages, and we are in the midst of it. Ephesians 6:10-12. We have a real enemy, and it’s not our brother or sister. The minute we begin attacking God’s people, we have switched sides. Revelation 12:10-12. Feeling justified in our attacks against others is a normal enemy tactic.Continue reading “Off My High Horse and on My Face”

Don’t Switch Sides
I know you’re hurting, and things feel out of control. I see your anger and your need to put things right. But in your anger, do not sin. Ephesians 4:26.

Safety in Surrender
What have you been holding back from the only One Who can make all things work together for good? Romans 8:28.

Follow Truth to Freedom
The last post about “wee” evils was a bit long, so I didn’t get to tell you the whole story, but… While I was in the middle of cleansing the oats of evil weevils, a moth began beating itself agains the glass window next to me, trying to get out. I opened the window, butContinue reading “Follow Truth to Freedom”
Help Us See, Set Us Free
Most strongholds feel so “normal” we don’t realize they’re there. Even when friends confront us on ways we’re hurting others, we deny we have a problem or blame someone else. That’s because the enemy likes to guard the ways he controls us with lies like, “That’s just the way I am.” “This is just theContinue reading “Help Us See, Set Us Free”

Fight the True Fight – Ephesians 6:10-18
Lord, remind us please, before we post, before we comment, before we assume that someone is about evil, to pray. Help us remember that our brother is not our enemy. Remind us to fight together against the true enemy. Help us understand each other, and pray before we speak, before we react, before we imagineContinue reading “Fight the True Fight – Ephesians 6:10-18”
A Hope and a Future
Let’s pray Jeremiah 29:11-14 over our country today, asking God to bring us back from all the ways we’ve been captive to the enemy, so our children (and we) will have a hope and a future of abundant life, rather than destruction (John 10:10). Lord, You have given us a choice, because You are loving.Continue reading “A Hope and a Future”
Pray We Will Pray
Can you believe we’re coming up soon on one year since God started this #PrayerWall on July 4, 2020? I’ve been reading some of those early posts, keeping in mind all that has happened since.
