Psalm 43:1-2
Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
When you are encountering attacks in your life, you need to ask God for a spirit of prayer. Devil Satan always tries every possible way to attack us, make us depart from God and not follow Him. Whether we stay near God or far from God, the devil actually attacks us the same way, through accusations and challenges. When we are under attack, we must more firmly trust in God in order to bind all the work of devil Satan in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer is to bind the devil in the name of the Lord. It's like the parable that Jesus preached, if you want to rob a strong man, you must first bind the strong man. Otherwise if you are able to rob ten things from him, he will take back nine of them, just like in a tug of war. Prayer is the bind the enemy devil Satan in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; it will release our soul and let God's work to move freely.
May the Lord help us to see what devil Satan is doing in our lives and in our community. As soon as we understand what devil Satan does, we will be able to tear down all the strongholds in the name of Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, we often have some strongholds and camps of the enemy in our lives. They often came from habits or wounds from the past, or our own disobedience and rebelliousness that gave the enemy space to occupy. Unless we rebuke all these in the name of victorious name of Jesus Christ, or break away from everything related to our life in the past, it would be difficult for devil Satan to be cast out from our lives. May God once again shine upon us, let us see the condition inside ourselves, and help us to cleanse us with the Lord's precious blood. That way we may be reunited with God and there'd be no room for the enemy to attack us in our lives.
Not only should we pray for ourselves, but we should also pray for our families. Is there any stronghold in your family? You need to ask the Lord's Spirit to shine upon you, and ask the Lord's Spirit to remove all strongholds and cover our family with the Lord's precious blood. I often encourage brothers to pray for their families in the name of the Lord, to proclaim that the family belongs to God and devil Satan has no place in their familiars and to rebuke any deed by devil Satan in the name of the Lord. Not only should we pray for family, we also need to pray for church. We often only know how to complain about church, but we neglect the need to pray for church and for the ministers. Let us together rebuke all the deeds and disturbances caused by devil Satan, so that the church can be united and let the gospel flourish in one accord!
Pray with Pastor Tong
Dear Lord, may you give us the spirit of prayer. Let us know how to bind all the deeds of devil Satan in the victorious name of the Lord, so that your deeds may freely move among us. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
