Feb 26 "Your Family's Defense" Read Psalm 140:1-8


Your Family’s Defense

Scripture Reading: Psalm 140:1–8

Key Verse:
1 Thessalonians 5:17, Pray without ceasing.

You don’t fight real wars with popguns, and you don’t fight the devil with mere determination or resolve. God provides our families’ defense against Satan. If we are to succeed, we must take up His weapons.

Pray for each member of your family every day. Ask God to surround each one with His supernatural hedge of protection against the tactics of the evil one. Call out their names before God, thanking Him that they are inscribed on the palm of His hand.

Especially pray the Word of God. Find Scriptures that pertain to your particular problems, and pray those Scriptures to God. It is the truth of God, and the truth always defeats the lies of Satan.

Resist the devil in the name of Jesus. Through your union with Christ, you have been given victory over the enemy. Jesus defeated Satan through His sinless life, His atoning death, and His triumphant resurrection. Satan is a vanquished foe. Though he still puts up a vicious fight, you can overcome him through the power of Jesus Christ.

Rebuke the devil in Christ’s name, command him to flee, and stand firm. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your family members and leave no room for the devil to set up shop.

The family is Satan's main attack. Keep your family in prayer and live a life before them as an example.

God Bless You!
