Spiritual Warfare: 'ONLY Christians Can Say, “Jesus Is Lord”'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, February 14, 2025

No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit. But every person who doesn't declare that Jesus Christ has come as a human has a spirit that isn't from God.
— 1 Corinthians 12:3 NASU & 1 John 4:3 GWT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I declare right here and now that Jesus is Lord. Jesus is King. Jesus is the promised Messiah. Jesus is a descendant of King David. Jesus is the Holy One of God. Jesus was the one born of a virgin. Jesus left in the clouds, and will one day return in the same manner. I love Jesus; I serve Jesus, and I declare Jesus is the only way to God the Father. I do this publicly and definitively and also declare that I am not ashamed of the name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
