Day 9
|
 |
Pray for Christians around the world, who are being persecuted. Pray that God would send His mighty angels to protect His church. Pray that our brothers and sisters would be delivered from those who hate them. Pray that they would receive comfort and strength. Pray for the salvation of all those who persecute Christians. Pray that Christianity would multiply – defeating the plans of the enemy.
We live in a world at war. The Bible tells us we are in a cosmic battle – the struggle of good and evil.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realm. —Ephesians 6: 12S
There are many places in the world right now where our Christian brothers and sisters are being targeted, persecuted, tortured, or killed. They are doing battle on the frontlines and experiencing the full fury of the enemy.
Hold them up in prayer today. Ask God to send His angels to do battle on their behalf. Pray the blood of Jesus over their lives, their children, their homes and their faith. Take your stand against the plans of the evil one. Your prayer matters greatly.

Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.
—I Peter 5: 8–9
