While it is generally true that most of us would prefer to live in peace with others, it is impossible to coexist when others want you or me dead. All the 'tolerance' in the world will not fix that one. So it is with the Spiritual world as well. The evil one, the father of all lies, the accuser of the brethren wants YOU and ME dead. Now, today. So if we have professed our belief in Jesus, we are walking around with targets on our backs. We must resist the enemy with every weapon available. Spiritual Warfare is fought on our knees with our heads bowed....in our hearts & minds. Pray this with me:
"Prayer of St. Michael the Archangel"
St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; & do Thou O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan & all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen & Alleluia (Praise to God!!)
Some books I have read & recommend:
Screwtape Letters CS Lewis
Piercing the Darkness &
This Present Darkness Frank Peretti
We MUST know that Satan is the DIVIDER, DECEIVER & DESTROYER!! ***This I know!!
