The “7″ Series on prayer began with “Seven Truths About Prayer”.
My message (June 22) covered Truths #1-4. Watch the message at firsteuless.com Truth #7: Prayer wages a Supernatural Battle. Jesus said we were to pray this way, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” Doesn’t that sound a bit like a war? Whole volumes have been written on “supernatural battles,” so this is a brief summary of some principles to remember in war: 1. Remember that the enemy’s goal is to isolate you from God, His Truth and His will for your life. It is not essentially a power struggle, but it is more of a truth struggle. God guides you with His truth, the enemy attempts to draw you away. When you move away from truth, you’re on the enemy’s turf. 2. Remember that our opponent always strikes the “weak links” in the chain of our life. It might be your thought life, your discipline, your desires. It could be your marriage, your children or your business. It could be your habits, your past or your blind spots. Be on guard. Shore up your weak links and make sure you have a watchful eye. 3. Remember that the enemy can often make sin sound “right.” He convinced Eve. He’s been doing this for thousands of years. Don’t agree with him. 4. Remember that true prayer puts you in a conversation with the undefeated King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He won’t lose. And you won’t lose if you stick close to Him. 5. Remember He has given you power and authority to resist the enemy and his ways. “Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 This simply means that we must put on the armor of God and stand firm in conflict, RESISTING the enemy’s tactics. It’s sweaty and difficult, sometimes bloody, but we can win this battle, says Jesus. Jesus is the one who told us to ask the Father, “deliver us from evil.” We must believe Jesus’ words that our Father can deliver us from the evil one. Keep praying, and keep following along with us online. #GetToThe7.

Hello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen have done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn't say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn't resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn't take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man bless my family and I know soon that my illness is already gone with the help of this man. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring more people to you for help too. Contact him at [email protected] and also Whats-app +2348167159012
