Enemy

April 9th – Romans 8:23

Romans 8:23

When it comes to the Lord’s return A.W. Tozer once said, “When He returns is not as important as the fact that we are ready for Him when He does return.” As sons and daughters of God, we are recipients of His divine promise. A promise of the triumphant return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many believe that we are indeed the last generation, and are living in the last days. So let us not falter in our vigil, but rather let our spirits soar with fervent expectation, anchored in the unwavering hope of His grace. With patient endurance, steadfast and resolute, may we navigate the trials of this life, knowing that our redemption draws near. For in the darkest hour when shadows loom large and the attacks of the Enemy relentless, it is our faith that sustains us, and our hope that guides us through the trials. So with a united voice may we cry out, “Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!” And with heads held high and hearts ablaze, may we stand firm. Because the day of our Lord’s return draws ever closer, and in His promise we find our comfort and our strength.

March 1st – 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Easter is a sacred time of reflection. A season of thankfulness for the immense love, grace, and sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God in the flesh, Christ willingly laid down His life on the Cross to redeem humanity from sin and death. Through His death, Jesus bore the weight of our sins, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice to reconcile us to God. But Easter is not merely a story of suffering and death. It’s a triumphant proclamation of victory over the grave. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead on the third day confirms His divine identity and power over death. At the Cross, the Enemy was defeated, his power broken, and his schemes thwarted. Through Jesus’ sacrificial death and victorious resurrection, the forces of darkness were conquered, and the victory of God’s love and redemption was proclaimed for all eternity. Through this season of Easter, may our hearts be filled with deep gratitude and awe for the incredible love of our Savior, who conquered sin and death to give us new life in Him.

February 16th – Romans 5:5

Romans 5:5

Have you ever felt too ashamed to come to God? Felt your mistakes too great or too many? I know I have. But Paul reassures us that those feelings are from the Enemy. Lies he tells us to try and keep us separated from God. The truth is, because God pours His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, we never have to let shame keep us from His presence. Instead we can approach Him with confidence, knowing that His grace covers every imperfection and failure. It’s a love that removes the burden of shame, reminding us that we are deeply valued and accepted by our Heavenly Father. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, our hearts are cleansed, renewed, and filled with a profound sense of worthiness in God’s sight. As we embrace this truth, we are freed from the chains of guilt and self-condemnation. With hearts overflowing with God’s love, we can approach His throne of grace without fear. Because His perfect love casts out all shame, and invites us into a relationship marked by freedom and intimacy.

February 9th – Romans 8:38-39

Romans 8:38-39

Do you ever doubt God’s love for you? Ever feel too sinful, dirty, or broken to be of any value to the Lord? Those feelings are lies from the Enemy. The truth is that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God. Do you think any sin we commit comes as a surprise to God? As our Creator, He knows us better than we know ourselves, the good, bad, and ugly. Yet from the depth and breadth of His unfailing love, He gives us life, and call us His beloved. And no earthly circumstance, no spiritual power, no height, nor depth, nor any other created thing can sever the love between us and our Heavenly Father. Not even ourselves. For His is a love that triumphs over sin, death, and every force that seeks to separate us from His hand. No matter who we are or what we’ve done, when we come back to God with hearts of repentance, He always welcomes us home. For even when Satan tries to tell us otherwise, we are eternally cherished and embraced by the unshakeable love of our Creator.

December 29th – 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

As we get ready to usher in a new year, we know the months ahead will be filled with their own set of challenges. Yet we can approach each one not with fear or despair, but with an unwavering trust in God’s sustaining power. And with a full confidence that although the waves may crash and the boat rock, we will not be swept away. For if we have a foundation built on faith in God, no storm of life can overcome us. No matter what the Enemy throws at us, or how hard he tries to destroy us, no plan of his will succeed. As a beacon in the night, Our Heavenly Father will be there guiding and protecting us through it all, His strength made perfect in our weakness. So bring on the new year! And as we encounter the uncertainties that it will may bring, let us face them with unwavering trust in God’s unfailing grace. For where there is trust, there is the promise of endless possibilities and unwavering hope.

September 7th – Isaiah 43:19

Isaiah 43:19

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Of the many tools of the Enemy, one is his ability to constantly remind us of our past mistakes. And he does so with the goal of keeping us from the forgiveness and grace offered through Jesus. That’s why it’s vital that as Christian’s, we know the difference between healthy remorse that leads to positive change and unproductive regret. And more importantly to remember the promises of God. Including making a, “way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” This means that no matter what we face, God has the power to provide a path forward. And we can trust in His ability to lead us through life’s wilderness moments and to quench our spiritual thirst in times of drought. The Lord invites us to let go of past regrets and be open to new beginnings. And He calls us to remain hopeful, knowing that He is continually working for our good, even when we can’t see it. This in turn inspires us to face life’s challenges with faith. Fully believing that God can transform even the most barren situations into opportunities for growth, purpose, and renewal.

July 8th – Psalm 27:6

Psalm 27:6

I love the quote, “safety comes in our nearness to God, not in our distance from our enemies.” The enemies of David were many. Even those he loved turned against and betrayed him. Have you ever felt like that? Like the whole world was against you? These are divisive times in which we live. And Christianity is under attack. But it’s no surprise. For Jesus Himself says that He came not to bring peace on earth, but rather division. (Luke 12:51) Yet for those who are on the side of Christ, victory is assured. Because for all of us who put our trust in Him, the Lord promises to exult above every adversary. When we draw near to Jesus and turn the battle over to Him, we will triumph every time. And like David, we will sing His praises with joyful lips and shout to the heavens of His glory!
