Men, the fight is on. Man your battle stations!
The most important foundation stone in all of Christianity is Jesus Christ Himself. Second is the praying, high praising believing families who daily seek with all their hearts to put God’s Word into action. It is a mistake to delegate all our Christian experience to what happens in our church program. The Christian faith has to be first worked out in our homes, marriages, and the daily training of our children. The church has not, in general, placed near enough importance on the home and family.
Psalm 149:7-9: “To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.”
These verses show us the importance of God’s people being involved in the judgment of wicked evil kings, rulers, and the heathen. This is primarily accomplished through praying people and families who understand they have been given this honor.
Praying families are a great avenue for the prayers of agreement which are necessary for binding and losing. Matthew 18:18-20 states: “Verily I say unto you Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
The morning and evening altars (or whatever you call it in your home--family devotions, family prayer, or family worship) are great opportunities for daily spiritual warfare.
How can we let the powers of darkness destroy so many nations and send them to hell without our putting up a fight to stop them?
Be encouraged.
