Day 18 Devotional – Psalm 91:13

“Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.”

Good morning Church family,

We are in the home stretch of this 21-day fast! Day 18 reminds us of the power and authority God gives us to overcome all challenges and adversaries. Psalm 91:13 paints a picture of victory over both visible and hidden threats—those that roar like a lion and those that strike subtly like an adder.

Through fasting and prayer, you have been spiritually fortified to stand firm against the enemy and triumph over every attack. Your perseverance is not in vain. Each prayer, each sacrifice, and each step of faith is setting the foundation for breakthroughs that only God can bring.

This fast is a declaration of war against fear, doubt, and any plan the enemy has set in motion. You are treading on lions and serpents, trampling underfoot every assignment designed to discourage or defeat you. Stay the course, knowing that God’s promises never fail.

Personally, I want to extend heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your dedication and prayers during this fast. Your commitment is a blessing to the ministry, to our church family, and to the kingdom of God. The sacrifices you’ve made in this season are not unnoticed, and the rewards—spiritual, physical, and emotional—will be abundant.

To our new believers, we invite you to attend NBC - New Believers Class, to learn more about prayer. Prayer is the foundation of our relationship with God—it is how we communicate with Him, hear His voice, and grow in faith. Learning to pray is an essential step in your journey, and we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to deepen your understanding of God’s Word and promises.

Let us remember that our God is faithful. As we near the conclusion of this fast, continue to trust Him for the victories and blessings He has in store for you.
