” The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers.” 1 Peter 4:7
” Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith.” 1 Peter 5:8&9
You and I are living in an upside-down world. What used to be considered good is now considered bad. What we used to be able to say, we cannot say today without persecution. Every day since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have been living in God’s period of grace. He gave his one and only son to die for you and me. In this period of grace, we have the opportunity to be saved by acknowledging our sins before God and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. He was given to die once and for all, to save those who believe and receive. In this time that we live we are to pray to God with earnest and disciplined prayers. We are to know the bible. We are to know the promises our God has given us. We are to be able to know what is good and bad in reference to God’s holy word. We are to be able to pray prayers that are in line with his word and not prayers of selfishness and that are not earnest. Our Lord is returning soon. I understand this message has been brought forward for thousands of years, but as we move closer, we can see all of the evidence of his return. His Word tells us to be alert. It tells us that we may not know the day and the time, but we will know the season. The devil also knows God’s word very well. He is well versed in it and knows very well his time is short. Because of this, he is running rampant. The bible tells us he is like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. All we have to do is look around at today’s world. It is confusing (which is of the devil), it is selfish and self-giving. You and I are to be able to stand strong. We can only do this by having a strong faith in Jesus. We must stay focused and never waver in our beliefs. We may be attacked physically, mentally, spiritually or financially, but we must stand strong with strong faith. Our prayers must be earnest and disciplined. It is so important to stay alert, keep watch and stay strong in the Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
