PRAY FOR PROTECTION
While praying for us, Jesus prayed to God, “THAT YOU
PROTECT THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE” [Jn 17:15 NI]. Yes,
Jesus gave us “AUTHORITY … TO OVERCOME ALL THE
POWER OF THE ENEMY” [Lk 10:19 NI] and in spiritual
warfare we can use Jesus’ “NAME” [Mk 16:17] but in praying for
protection from the evil one, we need to follow Jesus’ example and
pray to God. This is consistent with what Jesus advised us in the
prayer He instructed us to pray daily to God, “DELIVER US
FROM THE EVIL ONE” [Mt 6:13 NKJ]. Do you ask God to
protect you from the evil one?
