Day 9 Fri May 22nd

Prayer

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate. O Holy Spirit, by Your power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By Your grace, miracles are performed in Jesus’ name. By Your love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar’s heart for Goodness within us. We want to be like your Saints in heaven. Holy Spirit, renew us by your power with your Goodness that we may bring the Good News to the world.

Reflect on these words

Maria Vadia, author of Jesus Man of War: His Victory for Those who Praise Him, says, “It is our privilege as sons and daughters, to execute judgment on our enemies as we praise our wonderful God. In other words, the victory of Calvary is enforced over our enemies through our praises. Remember that Jesus on the cross defeated the devil9Cf Col 2:14-15), but it’s for us to enforce that victory over him. Yes, we execute that victory over the enemy through OUR praises! The body of Christ is not supposed to go and hide in fear, nor be a spectator. NO! We are alive for Jesus and called to represent him and his kingdom and we have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry on with the works of Jesus. The high praises of God will clear the atmosphere of the enemies that come against us, crime, witchcraft, violence, terrorism, sexual immorality, fear, anxiety, sickness, depression, addictions, sexual trafficking, and all kinds of abuse . . . If believers would believe this and do it, the Lord of Hosts would show up and destroy the works of the devil in our midst. There is so much power released against the enemy when God’s people get together and start praising the Lord with all their being!”
