Since then Christ is
praying for us, whom should we fear? And since he has promised to make us more
than conquerors, of whom should we be afraid? No, though a host of demons are
lined up against us, let us not be afraid; though the hottest persecution
should rise up against us, yet let us put our trust in God. Even though Satan,
and the rest of his apostate spirits, are powerful, when compared with us; yet,
if put in competition with the Almighty, they are as weak as the smallest
worms. God has them all reserved in chains of darkness until the final judgment
day. They shall only go as far as He permits them, and no farther.
- Satan's
Schemes [Sermon by George Whitefield]

Though an host should
encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident. – Psalm 27:3 (KJV)

“Note, The devil, though he is an enemy to all saints, is a conquered enemy. The Captain of our salvation has defeated and disarmed him; we have nothing to do but to pursue the victory.” ― Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible [PHOTO SOURCE: https://reformedspirit.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-conquered-enemy-by-matthew-henry.html] |

Our great Pattern hath showed us what our deportment ought to be in all suggestions and temptations. When the devil showed Him "all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them," to tempt Him withal, He did not stand and look upon them, viewing their glory, and pondering their empire.... but instantly, without stay, He cries, "Get thee hence, Satan." Meet thy temptation in its entrance with thoughts of faith concerning Christ on the cross; this will make it sink before thee. Entertain no parley, no dispute with it, if thou wouldst not enter into it. – John Owen [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/565725] |

"PRAYER FOR REMOVAL OF THE WICKED" Father, we ask in the name of Jesus that all Willful Workers of
Wickedness be removed from positions of power, prominence and prestige. Open
the eyes of those being deceived and place people who stand for Your righteous
cause in the high places of government and influence. Amen. Psalm 146:8b TLB.. .... For the Lord loves good men. 9. He protects the immigrants and
cares for the orphans and widows. But He turns topsy-turvy the plans of the
wicked. Please share per the request of Pastor CG McCarter. Blessings. [LINK: https://www.facebook.com/NMSCONLINE/posts/3047685488659848] https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20146&version=ESV |
