DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Matthew 6:13
And don't let us yield to temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.


We learn in 2 Corinthians 11:14 that the evil one is a counterfeiter that presents himself as authentic messenger of God: “But I am not surprised! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light.” It’s nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye if something is from God or from Satan. The way to correctly identify what's in front of you is by using our spiritual eyes which are opened by prayer. This is what the prophet Elisha did in 2 Kings 6:17, “Then Elisha prayed, ‘O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!’ The Lord opened his servant's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.” Elisha’s servant saw the angels of God who delivered him from the evil one. If you pray for super spiritual vision for your own life, you too will be able to identify the authentic over the counterfeit. Have you ever been fooled by a spiritual counterfeit?
