God's Bodyguards
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”
(Ephesians 6:18 KJV)
Just as the president has bodyguards for protection so God’s children have
bodyguards to protect them. If you are a born again Christian, if the blood of
our Saviour has been applied to your heart for the forgiveness of your sins, God
has assigned you the task and the responsibility of protecting and praying for
other Christians.
It is very important that Christians work together as a team. I believe if all
Christians would be in unity and love one another unconditionally regardless of
what church they attended, we would have enough Holy Spirit power flowing
through us to put out the fiery darts of satan. Have you ever seen a picture of
firemen putting out a fire? It is not just one fireman holding the hose; there
are several of them holding the hose because it is so heavy.
When Christians unite together in heart and purpose, God acts. We read in the
Bible “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching
any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is
in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I
in the midst of them” (Matthew 18: 19, 20).
What would happen if we all went to the same church? I believe that the Holy
Spirit would move in such a powerful way in our hearts and lives that Jesus
would have tears of joy in His eyes. Are you helping other Christians hold the
hose of protection against satan? Are you one of God’s bodyguards?
