prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

As I try and come to grips with the evil in Las Vegas this week, I thought about demons and did a search that I post below. I am only posting the "hits" in the four gospels because I wanted to remember how Jesus deals with evil.

The word of God is powerful. We are a nation, who as a whole, claim to be enlightened. Yet those who do not know God, and are spiritually dead... those people, while denying the God who created and loved them with an everlasting love... those very people deny the existence of the dark forces that swirl around us. Demons are very real folks. They are not the little red guys with the horns, pointy tail and trident. But, they are among us, seeking to do the will of satan, who prowls about like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. However, those of us who belong to Jesus have already triumphed: Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.

My prayer to you all, and for me, this day: May the Spirit of God rest upon you and me, and may we find comfort and peace in Him. May He guide our day, guide our thought life, may He put His word in us so that we may have an answer to every man who asks: for the reason for the peace that lies within us.

Scary reality!!!

That's just it when people don't see motive for what happened... they don't know what's inside. Peoples' demons haunt them from deep inside and drive them to things. :hit
