Spiritual Warfare: 'Last Days!'

God's Power for Our Battles — Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Remember this! In the last days there will be many troubles, because people will love themselves, love money, brag, and be proud. They will say evil things against others and will not obey their parents or be thankful or be the kind of people God wants.
— 2 Timothy 3:1-2 NCV

Today's Prayer

Lord, I know we've been in the end times since Pentecost but today, I certainly do see many of these evil things and these bad attitudes all around me that are symptoms of the very last days. People are very focused on sexual sins, sensual pleasures, acquiring money, and evil revelry. Many children are disobedient and ungrateful. Lord, please help me not to let these evil attitudes rub off on me or anyone in my family. Help me to be a godly example. Please help me to focus on my relationship with You. Keep my heart on my mission to serve others as I lead them to Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
