God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Thursday 1 December 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 1 December 2011"

Today's Bible Verse: Ephesians 6:12: "For we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places."

Our real battle as Christians and believers in Jesus Christ is not with human cultist, false religions, atheists, agnostics and pseudo-Christians, but with the demonic beings working through them, of which even the flesh and blood opponents are sometimes themselves are unaware.

Several activities in the Bible may involve demons.  Sometimes they cause physical disease or mental suffering.  However, not all mental disorders are demonic on origin.  Demons also tempt people into immoral practices.  They originate and propagate false doctrines taught by heretical religious groups   (1 Timothy 4:1).  The Bible also teaches that some people were possessed by demons (Mark 1;23).

Although demons are committed to doing evil, God will use them to accomplish His plan during the end of the age  (Revelation 16:14).  Demons are also objects of worship in various occult practices forbidden by God.  These include divination (an illegitimate means of determining the will of God), necromancy (efforts to communicate with and interrogate the dead), witchcraft and astrology (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).  No Christian can ever justify his or her participation in demonic activities.

Today's Hymn: "Hark! The Heard Angels Sing"

Hark! The Heard angels sing, "Glory to the new born King, peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye sinners rise, join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! The herald angels sing, "Glory to the new born King!"

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, grant us the strength and guidance Holy Spirit as we battle against the spiritual wickedness of the fallen angels and Satan himself.  May we put of the whole Armour of God that we might repel any attack against us, our Brothers and Sisters in Christ and the Church.  may we realize that as we put on the Armour that without prayer we will be inadequate to achieve victory.  May daily prayer in our lives be "indispensable.
                                                                                                                                                 Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "We are to pray not only for ourselves but also for all Christians and Believers for spiritual combat is both and individual and corporate matter."
