Spiritual Warfare-Appreciating His Teachings

Walking With Jesus- Divine Will Calendar From The Writings Of Servant Of God Luisa Piccarreta

September 22, 1924
Diabolical rage because Luisa writes on the Divine Will
Volume 17

Luisa- I continue: while I was writing what is written above, I saw my sweet Jesus placing His mouth at the point of my
heart, and feeding me the words I was writing. At the same time, I heard a horrible din from afar, as if people were
beating each other, and roaring with such clamor as to strike fear. And I, turning to my Jesus, said to Him: ‘My Jesus, my
Love, who is making all this din? They sound like furious demons. What is the matter, that they rage so much?’

And Jesus: “My daughter, it really is them. They would want you not to write about my Will, and when they see
you write more important truths on living in my Will, they suffer a double hell and they torment the damned even more.
They fear so much that these writings on my Will be manifested because they see that they lose their kingdom upon earth,
which they acquired when man, withdrawing from the Divine Will, gave free step to his own human will… Ah, yes, it
was exactly then that the enemy acquired his kingdom on earth; and if my Will reigns upon earth, my enemy, by himself,
will shut himself up into the deepest abysses. This is why they wrestle with so much fury: they feel the power of my Will
in these writings, and at the mere thought that they may be manifested, they fly into a rage and try anything they can in
order to hamper a good so great. You, however, do not pay attention to them, and learn from this to appreciate my
teachings.”

Scripture Meditation- For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

Prayer Reflection- O Lord we bless You, we love You, we adore You and we thank You because spiritual warfare is real and when we pursue living in Your Will the enemy of our souls is not happy. But we can walk with confidence fused in Your Will because Your Will is more powerful than any opposition. As it says in the Book of James-“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”. In Your Divine Will, we have the power to destroy strongholds as we take every thought captive. To do this we must remain faithful and attentive so that it is You we are listening to in every moment of the day. This can be hard when we take our minds and eyes off of You and start looking around or worse at ourselves, especially when we are not feeling our best. An acronym to remember is HALT- take a pause when we are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired and lift our eyes and our souls to You and not react in our own human will apart from You. So let us Lord indeed take every thought captive as we listen to Your Teachings in Scripture and the Book of Heaven, fused in Your Most Holy Will, for Your Glory and the good of all!
