Today’s reading is Revelation 12
“Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”

All,
This stands out because John says, “Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” The best deception Satan has accomplished is making some people think that he doesn’t exist. Satan attempts to keep us from worshipping God by getting us to worship ourselves. As long as we think we know more than God, Satan can deceive us. God wants the best for us and wants to guide us around the deceptions of Satan, but we need to trust Him in order for Him to guide us. Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s wisdom and discernment in all our decisions today. Please pray Archie and Hollis group.
