Saturday March 15 Deliver us from the evil one. Mt 6:13 NKJV Praying Jesus Way (6) Deliver us from evil (Lk 11:4). The original Greek language reads, Deliver us from the Evil One, not from some abstract entity called evil. So, should we fear Satan? No, but we must be alert to his strategies (See 1Pe 5:8-9). If were unaware and fail to put on the full armor of God, we invite defeat (See Eph 6:10-18). But when alert and fully armed, we neednt be afraid of Satan: Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1Jn 4:4). Jesus, not you, guarantees your victory. The Holy Spirit within you is what enables you to resist the Devil. Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and…Nothing will injure you (Lk 10:19 NLT). When youre battling the Evil One this prayer activates the power of the greater One who is in you, and by His strength you can triumph over him. Add to this Gods Word dwelling in your heart and mind, enabling you to rebuff Satans temptations as Jesus did with, It is written (See Mt 4:3-11). Satan was vanquished by the power of Gods Word, and itll work for you too! For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever (Mt 6:13). What a final note of recognition and praise! No uncertainty or tentativeness here. It mirrors Davids great doxology: Yours, O Lord, is the greatness…the power…the glory…the majesty and the splendor…Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all (1Ch 29:11 NIV). Your prayers are certain to be effective when you pray in faith to such a God. Summit Christian Center - San Antonio, TX - 210.402.0565 - summitsa
