Spiritual Warfare: 'Satan Will Be Punished Forever'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, July 24, 2026

And Satan’s army marched across the earth and gathered around the camp of God’s people and the city God loves. But fire came down from heaven and burned them up. And Satan, who tricked them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur with the beast and the false prophet. There they will be punished day and night forever and ever.
— Revelation 20:9-10 NCV

Today's Prayer

Lord, thank You for revealing that Satan will burn forever in a lake of fiery sulfur. I know You are just and fair, and that he will deserve it. But, Lord, I don’t want to end up in the lake with him, so please deliver me from all his deceptions and strategic plans to get me to join him there… forever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
