Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed. Psalm 21:11
The word evil is the dark side, Satan, hell and all that entails. Evil is a strong word but it wreaks havoc and messes people up when they start to cave to it.
It does not take a genius to recognize wrong from right, good and evil, truth and lies but the devil, comes to deceive and confuse and get people following the wrong things and believing lies. In order to keep yourself pure and your heart in tune with the truth it is necessary to turn off distracting voices in such forms as constant bombardment of news and secular TV and radio. Immerse yourself in the word of God. Find a dynamic church home.
Edmund Burke uttered the famous quote “the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing” and how true that is. Are you willing to take a stand for the truth? Are you able to love the unlovely and pray for those who are caught up in wrong evil thinking? Don’t argue, simply love and pray for yourself as well not to be deceived. Also lift up men and women who are caught up in lies and deceit to be set free.
PRAYER: I love you Lord. I hate the schemes of the evil one who is working now to try to destroy America. I pray for men and women who love you to be witnesses far and wide. I pray for those whose hearts are bent on evil to be set free. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
We have to stand "in the gap" like Nehemiah did as he rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem. He stood with a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other. (I believe the trowel was the tool.)
