Words of Encouragement
November - 14 - 2004
While we wait for God's great victory for us to be fully realized, we also need to know that we are in a battle. God will win this battle through Jesus Christ. The final outcome is certain. Christ has already won the decisive battle. However, let's not be fooled; the evil one will do everything he can to deceive all people and confuse the lost. Let's stick with God's plan -- living his truth, listening for his voice in Scripture, and following the lead of his Spirit.
The Scripture reading today is from 2 Corinthians 11:14.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Let us pray.
Holy Lord, please give us the ability to discern truth and resist the deception of Satan. Please empower us by your Spirit as we seek to live victoriously for you.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
