Keep Ourselves Pure & Holy

GOD LOVES YOU !

“But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne” Matthew 5:34

PRAYER gives us VICTORY!

• The devils always fight us, and try to take us away from God

• The devil is VERY powerful, like a “strong man”

• But God is MUCH MORE powerful, “a stronger man”

• When we pray, God helps us to defeat our enemy (the devil)

PRAYER gives us VICTORY!• Beware of the devil’s tricks!• He makes you feel:– BUSY… no time to pray– TIRED … no energy to pray– DISTRACTED … no concentration to pray

FIGHT ! • Do NOT give into the devil’s tricks

“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7)

This week ….Remember … God watches over us, and can see our hearts & minds - use no bad words (swearing).Always speak the truth (never lie)!

Memorizing ….Glory to You, our Master, King, Christ, the pride of the apostles, the crown of the martyrs, the joy of the righteous, the steadfastness of the Churches and the forgiveness of sins.
