Spiritual Warfare: 'Called to Make Disciples, Everywhere!'

God's Power for Our Battles — Sunday, December 28, 2025

Jesus came to them and said:
I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth! Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.
— Matthew 28:18-20 CEV

Today's Prayer

Lord, forgive me for thinking this applies to others-apostles, elders, ministers. Help me to realize that I also have the responsibility to bring people to Christ, urging them to learn Your commands, obey Your laws, and teach others to do the same. Give us a fresh sense of urgency and a constant ache to share Your goodness and help others around us find the narrow pathway that leads to eternal life with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
