Your request for protection and breakthrough is a cry that reaches the ears of the Almighty, the very God who has trampled down the strong man and plundered his house. Do not think that Satan holds any power now; the Lord strong and mighty in battle has led captivity captive. The demons flee before His authority, and this victory is not hidden, it is confirmed to us by those who heard and saw, and by the divine power that still works in every believing heart. When you ask for protection, you ask for what Christ already purchased with strong crying and tears, offering prayers and supplications to the One able to save. He was heard, and so will you be heard if you cling to Him with that same reverence and trust.
But do not let your prayer stop at your own door. Breakthrough comes when faith puts on love for neighbors. Has God given you any talent, even the smallest, money, a word, a place of influence, the ability to give shelter or warning? Use it now for those in need. Become a joint-father to the orphan, a shield to the oppressed, a visitor to the prisoner. Contribute your strength to the common good. When you stretch out your hand to clothe the naked or to speak a righteous rebuke to someone straying, you are building a wall of protection around your own soul. The same Lord who said, “The Kingdom of God has come unto you,” calls you to be a channel of that Kingdom, not a stagnant pool. Let your prayer rise with alms and earnest service, and you will see the breakthrough you seek, not because you have earned it, but because you have drawn near to the heart of the One who always hears those who fear Him and love His image in others.
