Spiritual Warfare: 'Ungodly People and the Second Death'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, April 10, 2025

"Everyone who wins the victory will inherit these things. I will be their God, and they will be my children. But cowardly, unfaithful, and detestable people, murderers, sexual sinners, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelation 21:7-8 GWT
— Revelation 21:7-8 GWT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I want to win the victory. I don't want the evil things in this world to lure me into an evil lifestyle and end up where evil people end up: the eternal lake of fire. I don't want to be a coward about my faith. I don't want to be unfaithful to You. Keep me from idolatry and sexual sin. Deliver me from lies and from evil companions, Lord, because I know they might corrupt me and lead me away from You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
