09/11          Romans 12:19

¹⁹ Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,

“I will take revenge;
    I will pay them back,”^[a]
    says the Lord.

STAY

Stay your hand from vengeance. 

The Lord is the Righteous One and He will avenge evil.

Neither you nor I have the wisdom to know how to right wrong.

We focus on Jesus and trust Him.

He will care for us and right all wrongs. 

Do not take matters into your own hand. 

Love one another and do good. 

Jesus is Lord. 

09/10          Exodus 15:6

⁶ “Your right hand, O Lord,
    is glorious in power.
Your right hand, O Lord,
    smashes the enemy

TRUST

Trust in the Lord God Almighty.

He will fight your battles for you.

Trust in Him with all your heart, and HE will do it. 

Trust in the Lord God Almighty. 

09/09          2 Thessalonians 3:3
³ But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

SPIRITUAL

There is a war going on in the spiritual realm.

Satan is waging and all-out campaign to destroy us.

Jesus is more powerful than Satan and all of his minions. 

The Lord Jesus offers us His protection against evil. 

Claim that gift from Almighty God,

Life in Christ, family of God membership and victory over death. 

It is a free gift, and we can claim that gift from Jesus.

Believe in Him and He will give you life and light for living. 

His salvation is complete.

Jesus is Lord. 

09/08          Ephesians 6:10

¹⁰ A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

CHOICE

I choose.

Will I claim my right to be strong in the Lord?

Or, will I fail and be overrun by evil?

His power is mighty, victorious and always wins.

I am weak and often heavily burdened,

But I can choose the Lord’s power,

And claim my victory in Jesus. 

9/07          2 Corinthians 10:3-5

³ We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. ^4 [a]We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. ⁵ We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

SPIRITUAL

We are in a spiritual battle,

And on our own cannot deal with it-we will lose every time.

The Lord Jesus prepares us for the battle-

We fight by faith in Him, claiming God’s power in the Holy Spirit.  

Every day He renews our grace and mercy, overflowing,

And amazingly able to renew us for today’s battle. 

Be ready.

Stand with Jesus.

Trust Him.

All of our hope is in Jesus.  He is Lord.    

09/06          Ephesians 6:11-12

¹¹ Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. ¹² For we^[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

CHAOS

We face chaos and evil in the heavenly places in this world’s spiritual realm.

Stand fast, in Jesus, He is God’s everything.

Rely on the blood of Christ that cleanses us and

The armor of God to protect us in life’s daily battle. 

The Word, the power of the Holy Spirit and time with Jesus protects us.

The Lord will not leave us, He is here walking through the darkness with us.

09/05          2 Corinthians 11:14

¹⁴ But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

CAREFUL

We are called to be careful.

Careful about what we think.

Careful about what we say.

Careful about what we read or watch.

Careful in our daily life.

Careful about the people we follow. 

Be careful.

09/04          2 Corinthians 2:11

¹¹ so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.

REMEMBER

Satan is brilliant. 

Although he isn’t all knowing, he knows a lot more than we do.

He is a fallen, powerful, angel.

When confronted with his antics, it’s best to call upon the Holy Spirit.

To address the issue: THE LORD REBUKE YOU.

Cling to the Lord Jesus and Satan will flee from you. 

Strive to keep your focus on Jesus. 

09/03          1 Peter 5:8-9

⁸ the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and all three agree. ⁹ Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son.

SON

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, has come.

He came in a manger in Bethlehem.

He came to save us from our sin.

With His blood, He paid a price we could not pay.

His free gift to us is eternal life-life like God’s.

09/02          1 John 1:8-9

⁸ If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. ⁹ But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

SAY

Say to Jesus what you have done.

Express your request for forgiveness.

Turn from sin to service in Christ.

Focus on Jesus.  He is Lord.
