Enduring Satanic Attacks Ephesians 6:10-14 Every believer faces temptation. Take a moment to recall a particularly enticing situation involving something that would displease God. Did you realize you were involved in a satanic battle. The Devil is real. Scripture reveals that he leads an army of fallen angels and is prideful enough to think he can gain victory over God. By definition, a satanic attack is a deliberate assault upon an individual, which is designed to cause spiritual, physical, material, or emotional harm. Satan desires to thwart the Lord's purpose in believers' lives, to rob them of joy and peace, and ultimately to deny God the worship He receives through yielded followers. As in any war, knowing the enemy's plan helps us prepare for the attack. First, be aware that the battlefield takes place in our minds. To walk in a godly manner with Christ, we must first be sure that our thoughts are in submission to His Spirit. This takes daily surrender and time in God

I pray that you will be with us all as we navigate our past experiences, live our lives in the present, and have a healthy desire and longing for our futures. I pray that you will be with the future that is unknown, and that your will and glory be done in our lives — past, present, and future. We love and trust you with all of our hearts, Our Lord and S
