Pray

Pray to the God that creates life

against the damn fallen angel that

tries to take it laughing as he goes


Pray against the invisible demon

that preys on exposed human life


Pray against the darkness of hell

as it sucks out the light of day


Pray against these dogs that hound

and bark and bite our flesh


Pray against the palpable fear

that haunts our minds


Pray for our brother, that the light

and hope and power of God surround him


Pray, pray without ceasing...

I'd rather chase him with a shotgun. Too many true needs for my prayers, why waste them on him.

"Pray against the palpable fear

This says it all... The opposite of love is not hate, the opposite of love is fear... we lose our fears, we lose the devil, we lose hate, we lose it all... except love... great write

Amen Linda, and everyone should pray for these things and a whole lot more. They should pray for the thankfullness of the food on their table, for the friends they have that they can laugh and talk with, they should pray for that wonderful family, because one day they might not be there. They should pray for dawning of a new life, and for help in their life's struggles. Yes, there are so many things that need to prayed for. But in prayer, ask for help, don't demand it. Be sincere in your faith, and ask that the things you pray for be done in the name of Jesus. I believe in the power of prayer, and the power of Lord to do all things. But some things we can accomplishe by doing, but it is the Lord, that makes sure that what we do, as long as we blieve on Him, is done. May the Lord be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((HUGS))), Barbie

Yup. The opposite to God, is not the devil. For he has no opposite or equal. The opposie to the devil would be Michael.

Once ones in the spirit, he'll also pray without ceasing.

Without prayer these days, we would have gone beyond our senses of reasong. Linda, the wiles of the fallen angels are so sophisticated that without the power of God at work...., I do not know what would have happened.

Pray.... a good reminder for those who had abandoned this calling, this ministry. I love it, Linda.
