Magnificent Prayer #226
Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.
Revelation 12:12
We are living in an unprecedented age of satanic activity. It appears that the enemy, knowing that his time is short, has come with great wrath even as the Apostle St. John said it would be. He seems to be “throwing in,” as we say, everything he has. It is the “battle of the bulge” for the powers of darkness. Many Christian workers have capitulated before the unseen spirit forces from the pit that are charging the atmosphere of the world with poisonous fumes which, if taken without the gas-mask of faith and the victory of the Son of God, are proving fatal…
F.J. HUEGEL
Pray About It: Make no mistake: as the return of the Lord approaches, the enemy will unleash even greater evils in our direction. Christians today face more blatant wickedness than did our ancestors. And our descendants are likely to face even more. With such oppression afoot, the Christian pray-er must be militant in standing against evil and for good. This will likely cost you some friendships, as the trend of the world is to call evil “good” and good “evil.”
But do the right thing. Pray the right way. Stand fast against evil. Put on your spiritual gas mask and get to work.
You should not turn your back on Satan, for this will mean you are running away instead of him running away from you! You should face him and let him turn his back…If you are afraid of him, you are finished!
