H.O.P.E. Devotional

The battle is raging! Destruction and death wage war with unseen weapons targeting men, women, children, infants, and even the most vulnerable- the unborn. The enemy unsheathes his weapon and fights relentlessly, battering, bruising, slashing, injuring, dealing death blows, taking prisoners, and holding captives. This enemy, with his hordes of demonic rulers, authorities, cosmic powers over this present darkness, and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places, is coming for you, your family, friends, and acquaintances. His mission is to steal, kill, and destroy!

This battle has raged for at least 6000 years. The enemy has honed his skills and strategies. Today is an hour of darkness! Every warrior in the Kingdom of God is called to put on his armor, unsheathe his sword, and fight like never before! Push back the darkness with the truth of God’s Word! Take back territory, marching with feet that carry the gospel! In steadfast prayer, free captives imprisoned in unforgiveness, sin, addictions, infirmity, lust, hatred, bitterness, gossip, idolatry, greed, and all sorts of evil practices.

Warrior, the battle begins as you examine yourself and ask for the light and fire of God’s, Jehovah Sammah’s, Holy presence to expose any strongholds in your own heart and mind. Get rid of any foothold of the enemy in your life! As you grow strong in our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and Holy Spirit, the Lord will begin to supply the provision you need to fight the enemy of darkness. God’s provision is abundant! He will provide the resources needed to fight this battle- all the authority, ability, armor, ammunition, economic resources, strength, strategies, and weapons. As we partake of His Presence, commune with the Victorious Conquering King, Jesus Christ, He supplies all our needs according to His abundant riches and treasures!

Psalm 144:1 "Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me."
