"The devil attacks the promises given. That’s how the devil always works." Invocavit 2023

When you get a Word of promise from God, the devil immediately wants to talk to you. And he takes what the Father says and adds that qualifier like “If!” That’s his whole strategy, his whole bag of tricks. It’s the same thing he does to Adam and Eve in Genesis. There they had a promise and a threat from God, and the serpent added, “Did God really say?”

Now you know what you pray for in the Lord’s Prayer when you ask, “Lead us not into temptation.” It’s not simply asking God to keep you from hunger, threats, or even your desire for power. You ask God to give you His Word so that you speak as Jesus speaks.

Join the congregation of St. John in prayer each day and for Divine Service each Sunday at 9:30 am, Wednesday at 7:00 pm, and on festival days, where God serves us with His gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation.
