WATCH AND PRAY.

*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*

*WATCH AND PRAY.*

*Scripture Treasure.*

Matthew 26:41 *Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.*

*Insight and Highlight.*

If you fail to watch as you pray, the devil and his spirits will have spiritual authority over you.

*Scripture Commentaries.*

We must not pray as if we can not see.

We must pray as one who sees. We must see as one who prays.

We must walk by faith, with spiritual eyes not by physical eyes, ref 2 Cor 5:7.

John opens our eyes that the spirits of devil operates in the midst of God's people.

John uses Jezebel as a symbol of such spirits. Jezebel was the wicked wife of Ahab known for witchcraft, idolatry etc.

In Thyatira they know about the spirit but they did nothing about it.

Jesus, in his message to the church in Thyatira (Revelation 2:20-23), refers to a woman he calls "Jezebel," who claimed to be a prophetess and was leading God's servants into idolatry and sexual immorality. 

The Church in Thyatira may be praying but they were not watching.

In some cases, if not all, Jesus said false agents of darkness will deceive many very-elect, Matt 24:24.

Prayer exposes agents of darkness. Positions, tittles do not.

Satan does not care who you are, what position you occupy in the Church as long as you do not pray.

Satan does not care how many people read the bible if only he can keep them from praying.

If you love God, you will read His word and you will study and meditate on the word of God, 2 Tim 2:15.

One of God's expectation of man is fellowship. Fellowship takes several forms: praise, Thanksgiving, prayer etc. He fellowshipped with Adam in the Garden of Eden.

All of Christ's expectation is urging men to pray, 2 Chro 7:14, Lk 18:1.

Satan is happy when a Christian does not pray.

When a Christian stops fellowshipping with other Christians, the devil delights.

He knows that when he stops studying the word, he will engage in Satanic sites.

His greatest joy is found when the Christian eventually stops praying.

If you do not pray, you will talk with Satan and involve in Satanic gists.

God is expecting to hear from you.

While the Kingdom of God is harvesting for its vineyard so is Satan harvesting vulnerable souls into his kingdom.

Be very careful.

As you pray against all satanic forces around you, watch too!

Find freedom by doing the will of God for your life.

*Remorse corner.*

You can be under Satan's control if you refuse Jesus as your Lord.

*Call to Word action.*

The devil can manipulate any soul if there is no power greater than his to keep him at distance. He can controlled people even if unconsciously, like prisoners unaware of their abduction.

2 Tim 2:26 *And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.*

*The Christian clarion duty.*

Those who now know Christ have freed themselves from Satanic bondage.

*Prayer.*

Lord help me and make me free from any form of Satan's manipulation and control, in Jesus name.

Good morning all and have a blessed day.

God bless you.

Shalom.
