Day 32: But Deliver Us From The Evil One.

Word:

Matthew 6.13b “but deliver us from the evil one.’”

Daily Devotional:

The next phrase of the prayer reminds us that we are not simply in a struggle with our flesh and its temptations, but also against the evil one- Satan and his forces. And we are reminded to look to the Lord and His power to deliver us from all dark forces.

Scriptures For Today:

As you read today's Scriptures, read slowly and attentively, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you meditate on His Word.

Matthew 6.9 “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.’”

James 4.7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Ephesians 6.10-18 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 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. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You that are my Deliverer. I resist the Devil today. I submit to You. Thank You for the promise of Your word that he must flee!
