October : Spiritual Strongholds

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Col 1:9

Most people, whether they admit it or not, are searching for spiritual truth. However we need God’s wisdom to recognise what is the truth and what is a lie. If you are one degree off course on a journey of 10m it isn’t going to make too much difference, but travel for 100km one degree off course and you will miss your target by 1.75km! The Christian journey is a long one and we must remain vigilant to stay on the true course.

Jesus said "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matt 7:13-14

Pray that

We as Christians are vigilant and deliberate in our faith, not swayed from the truth
We increase in our knowledge of Scripture so even subtle heresy will stand out to us
Pagan festivals like Halloween will be shown for what they really are.
Australia will become “The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit”

Let’s combat this ‘giant’ through:

1. sincere repentance

2. prayer & fasting

3. dedication to the Word

4. Godly action

5. speaking truth
