Spiritual Warfare: 'God Rules: Praise, Serve, and Honor Him'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, October 29, 2026

Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, all you who serve him and all you who honor him, both small and great!" Then I heard what sounded like a great many people, like the noise of flooding water, and like the noise of loud thunder. The people were saying: "Hallelujah! Our Lord God, the Almighty, rules."
— Revelation 19:5-6 NCV

Today's Prayer

Lord, YOU are the One who decides the future. You rule everywhere. You reign sovereignly. You are the One I run to when trouble comes from every side. I praise and magnify Your holy name, and pledge myself in service to Your Kingdom and Your agenda. May my life, my words, my thoughts, and all my actions honor You and encourage others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
