?️ An Emoji Devotional for Tue 11th February 2025
Topic: The Unseen Forces at Work
Highlight: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
In the chronicles of spiritual politics, there are unseen forces at work. These forces are not physical, but spiritual. They are not visible to the naked eye, but they are real.
As believers, we need to understand that our struggles are not just against human opponents, but against spiritual forces of darkness. These forces seek to influence human decisions, shape cultural narratives, and undermine God's plans.
However, we are not powerless against these forces. We have been given spiritual armor to withstand their attacks (Ephesians 6:13-18). We have the power of prayer to resist their influence (Ephesians 6:18). And we have the assurance of God's sovereignty to trust in His ultimate victory (Psalm 103:19).
As we navigate the complexities of spiritual politics, let's remember that we are not alone. We are part of a larger spiritual battle, and we have a crucial role to play.
Reflection questions:
- Am I aware of the unseen forces at work in my life and in the world around me?
- How can I use my spiritual armor to resist the attacks of darkness?
- What role can I play in the spiritual battle, and how can I pray effectively for God's victory?
As Colossians 1:17 and Hebrews 1:3 remind us, Jesus holds the world together. It's a wise decision to accept Jesus into our lives. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, this is the opportunity. Invite Him to come into your life, to be your Lord and Savior, and to shield you from evil.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, open my eyes to the unseen forces at work in the world. Give me the wisdom to recognize the spiritual battles I face, and the courage to resist the attacks of darkness. May I be a faithful soldier in Your army, praying and fighting for Your victory. Amen
