Spiritual Warfare: 'God's Power Over Death for Us!'

God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, July 14, 2026

By his power God has raised the Lord from the dead and will also raise us from the dead.
— 1 Corinthians 6:14 NCV

Today's Prayer

Lord God, I praise You as Creator and Lord of all the earth - even with the total power over death and the grave. When death threatens my own live, Lord, remind me that I need not fear it because You are the One with the ultimate power and control - even over death itself. Remind me that the last enemy to be destroyed and removed is death (1 Corinthians 15:26), and that death is not the end; but rather just a transition toward eternal life in heaven forever with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
