Good Wednesday to all!  May the Lord bless and keep you safe!

And you he made alive, when you were dead through trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.  Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.  But GOD, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace, you have been saved), and raised us up with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not by your own doing, it is the gift of GOD....
Ephesians 2:1-9

And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near;  for through him we both have access in one spirit to the Father.  So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of GOD, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of GOD in the Spirit...Ephesians 2:17-22


We are continually in a massive warfare now for our very souls.  There is a battle raging now on the spiritual level.  Do not be surprised by the attacks on your mind through temptations, manipulations, insults, etc.  The devil hates you growing closer to the Lord. He and his subordinates seek to destroy the closeness. When you are feeling under attack, call out to Him, "Help me Jesus".  Rebuke and banish in his name and blood.  His name is very powerful protection.  Trust in Him.

Therefore GOD exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth...Philippians 2:9-10

GOD Bless!
