Spiritual Warfare: 'Be Faithful Until Death, and You’ll Live Forever'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, December 31, 2026

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer for ten days. But be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the crown of life. Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. Those who win the victory will not be hurt by the second death.

Today's Prayer

Victory over eternal death! Lord, THAT is what we live for. That is our hope in Jesus Christ. Help us to focus on this future reality to help us endure the present stress. YOUR will be done. We trust You for our deliverance. All glory to Your Holy name. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
