Spiritual Warfare: 'Some ACT Religious But Reject God’s Power'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, November 14, 2024

They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, Stay away from people like that!
— 2 Timothy 3:3-5 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, some of the religious teaching in today’s churches teach that You USED to do great things, but no more. They say that only happened in the first century. Remind me, Lord, that you are NOT the great I USED to could, but You call Yourself the great I AM because You still do. You are still on the throne and prayer still works—changing things in the seen world. You are still the God of miracles and answers. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
