February 2006 - Winter finally arrived!

Under Enemy Attack

"Husbands, accept the fact that you are under attack by forces you cannot see, that you have a very real enemy in Satan who wants to destroy your marriage.

The fact that a dark force out there wants to break up your marriage should arouse your fighting spirit. 'How dare he single me out!' Your home suddenly becomes a place you will go all-out to protect.

As husband you need to understand exactly what spiritual warfare is. This in not difficult. There are many books on the subject. More and more churches are dealing with it.

Most important for every husband is to accept the authority the Lord gives him when he becomes the spiritual head of his home.

With this authority a husband can pray against the dark forces he may feel pressing in on him and his family. He prays this way against sickness, against temptations, against forces in his community that would corrupt his children. The prayer for his home could go like this: Lord, with the authority you gave me as the head of this household, I come against all perverse spirits, against principalities and the forces of darkness that are trying to upset the peace and order of our home. In the name of Jesus I rebuke these spirits and cast them out. They have no ground in this house. I pray now that you would fill this place with your Spirit, your love, your peace, your joy."
