SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Luke 6:12-16

¹² At that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the night praying to God. ¹³ The next morning, Jesus called his followers to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named apostles: ¹⁴ Simon (Jesus named him Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon (called the Zealot), ¹⁶ Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who later turned Jesus over to his enemies.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

  Father, we thank You for the spiritual armor that defends us in battle and arms us for the struggle we encounter against the devil’s relentless schemes.  This armor enables us to withstand the forces of evil, no matter the means or persons the enemy works through to try to weaken or destroy our faith. In addition to the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit we know that our prayers and petitions are heard by You who intercedes on our behalf before our Father in heaven. We use our armor for protection and we use the sword of the Spirit and prayer for weapons to reveal, attack and defeat Satan’s strongholds. It is through Your name, Jesus, that we are more than conquerors.  Amen.


I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
