The Veil in the Unbeliever: Prayer Note #68






Dutch Sheets tells us, "We have a part to play in lifting the veil off the mind of the unbeliever."

"This chapter, (section in Sheet's book, Intercessory Prayer), is all about spiritual warfare for the lost.

 It is perhaps the most important in the book. 

The primary purpose of the previous chapter was to prepare us for this one. 

We have a part to play in lifting the veil off the mind of the unbeliever. 2 Cor. 10:4, which we will elaborate on later, speaks of strongholds that are a part of this veil. We participate in the destruction of these fortresses. 

Strongholds are not demons, they are places from which demons rule.

 We will look closely at several words from these two passages to gain a more thorough understanding of what is being said. 

The passage in 2 Cor. 4:3, 4 tells us there is a veil or covering over the minds of unbelievers that keeps them from clearly seeing the light of the gospel. 

It is important to know they don't see the gospel because they can't see it. They don't understand it because they can't understand it. They must have an unveilinga revelation."

Today’s treasure truth #40: If you are “born again”, you are blessing the Lord at all times and continually praising the Lord w/ your mouth. Ps. 34:1

Our thought for today: Nothing will hinder God's answer to our  prayers! We're to stay in faith!
