Spiritual Warfare: 'Our Refuge Who Drives Our Enemies Away'

God's Power for Our Battles — Sunday, June 8, 2025

There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor. The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. He drives out the enemy before you; he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’
— Deuteronomy 33:26-27 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, there is none other like You. You own the earth and You ride the clouds across the sky in majestic splendor! You are Deed Holder of planet earth, and command the elements. You look after Your own and give us a place of refuge. Thank You for that place of safety. Thank You for holding me up when I can’t even hold myself up. Thank You for driving out all my enemies and giving me the victory through Jesus Christ. Thank You for loving me and doing all of them for me in spite of my faults. I give You credit for my victory. Thank You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
