And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. (Jeremiah 15:21)
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (John 17:15)

Spiritual warfare is a reality in the life of the believer

Jabes' prayer in 1 Chronicles 4:10 asks God to protect him from evil, which is a reality in the life of a believer. Spiritual warfare is necessary to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the enemy's attacks, and we must learn to do it through prayer and putting on the whole armor of God. Jabes asks God to contradict and neutralize the negative nature that his name implies in his life, and God grants his request. We have the right to ask for the same requests and receive a positive response if we are walking under the approval of God through Jesus Christ. Read more...

Grace Rodríguez Puebla: I ask GOD, our LORD and Savior, to extend my territory, that His hand be always with me (with my descendants 4 daughters and their families) and to deliver us from Evil, which JEHOVAH says in Exodus 14:14. JEHOVAH will fight for you and you will be at ease. That is what I cried out to him with my heart. humiliated and contrite that THIS. His Presence with me and I may testify of His love, Power, Mercy and EVERYTHING for His Glory. In. The Name of Jesus amen
Sister Grace, what a beautiful prayer you have shared. It is inspiring to see how you cry out to God for the protection and blessing of your family, following the example of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions, spiritual warfare is a reality in the life of the believer, and it is important that we cover ourselves with the armor of God to face the attacks of the enemy. Your request to be delivered from evil and for God's presence to be with you and your family reflects a deep dependence on Him. May the Lord hear your cry, strengthen you in this spiritual battle, and allow you to witness His love and power in means of any circumstance. May God bless you and keep you in His loving presence. Good luck in your life of faith and prayer!
Ruth Vives.: Christians must pray constantly and deliver our requests for protection and deliverance from evil to God. God bless you. Amen.
Dear Ruth, thank you for reminding us of the importance of constant prayer and surrendering our requests for protection and deliverance from evil to God, just as Jabez did in his prayer. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions, spiritual warfare is a reality in the life of the believer, therefore, it is essential that we remain in communion with God through prayer to be strengthened in the midst of the spiritual battles we face. May God bless you and strengthen you in your life of prayer and faith. Amen!
Francisco Diaz S.: The devil always puts stumbling blocks in us to make us fall, only with faith and prayer can we free ourselves from these evils.
Brother Francisco, it is true that the enemy constantly seeks to make us stumble in our faith and in our walk with God, as the Apostle Paul mentions in Ephesians 6:12. But as Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions, through faith and prayer we can free ourselves from the evils of evil and protect our spiritual life and that of our loved ones. It is important to be alert and arm ourselves with prayer and the Word of God to resist the attacks of the enemy. May the Lord strengthen you in your faith and grant you the wisdom and strength to confront the wiles of the evil one. May the peace and protection of God be with you always!
Moises Mora : How in Egypt when everyone obeyed in anointing the frames and doors, obedience to his word and we will be free from all evil, what about Jabez is real and very real.
Brother Moses, thank you for bringing up the episode in Egypt where obedience to the word of God brought liberation and protection to the people. Just as then, obedience to God's Word is crucial in our daily lives and helps us free ourselves from all evil, just as Jabez cried out in his prayer. Obedience to God is a demonstration of our trust in His sovereignty and love for us. May the Lord guide you in obedience to His Word and give you protection and blessing at all times. May the peace and grace of God be with you always!
