Ephesians 6: 12 states, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm."
God woos us to Himself until we see our need for His salvation. He never gives up on us and His Word is living proof. False prophets (soothsayers, psychics, astrologers, and tarot card readers) say they can tell us our future but that is a lie. Satan doesn't have any idea what the future holds except that he has no future but eternity in Hades or the bottomless pit. He doesn't even know when Christ will return. His knowledge in his future is limited by his sinful, rebellious
ways.
Lucifer can only interfere with the present and use past eternity to confuse us concerning our future hope. Any attempt, by Satan and his cohorts,to tell you your future is based on supposition and false prophecy. Only God is all seeing and all knowing. Satan isn't a god; he's a fallen angel who wanted to be a god. Satan has no knowledge of the future except that his own end, in coming eternity, will happen in the greatest battle of Armageddon, when Christ returns to reestablish a new Jerusalem, and he knows his punishment for his unpardonable sin--blaspheme against the God of the very God will be his eternal end. Satan wanted to dethrone God for his own selfish, narcissistic reason seeing himself better than Jehovah God.
So, let's put the lie from the false prophet, Satan, aside for now and get started on this amazing journey of finding victory for living each day standing on a firm foundation--God's Living Word.
David and others who authored the Psalms actually put together prayers for any situation and circumstance. David allowed God to see his heart in his prayers and
his confessions. Today, these prayers, songs, and hymns are for us to use for the same purposes as David. Those purposes may include, but not be limited to,
the following.
- Praise and adoration of our Heavenly Father
- Repentance and forgiveness
- Thanksgiving
- Supplication
- Restoration and healing
- Power found in the fruit of the Spirit
- Protection found in preparation for battle
- Music to soothe you & lift up the name of Jesus

encouragement to know I am okay. My ups and downs are normal behavior and I can still please God with my life. His unconditional love makes this possible. His constant presence in my life is the hope I hold onto when storms come. He is ever-present for me when I am full of joy. Jesus calms my storms or gives me the courage to get out of the boat and walk toward the anchor Himself.
