Spiritual Warfare: 'God Leads All Who Conform to His Rules'

God's Power for Our Battles — Sunday, January 7, 2024

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice — the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
— Romans 12:1-2 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, You gave me life. You provide health and strength. All I have comes from you. From this moment on, I offer it back to You. I choose to be a living sacrifice. I yield my will to Yours. I will work to be Your hands and feet to people around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
