Spiritual combat
The Bible teaches us that as Christians, we constantly have to fight spiritual battles: „For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). Spiritual battles are fought with prayer and not with weapons. Even Jesus himself had to face the enemy in the desert. He emerged victorious because he had been strengthened by prayer and the word. Prayer consists of entrusting our struggles to God so that He himself will help us to defeat the adversary. When facing the forces of evil, we can ask for the intercession of the angels and archangels to protect us and free us from evil. We can also ask Virgin Mary and the saints for their support. Hozana offers various prayer communities, including novenas and retreats to pray and repel enemy attacks.
The novenas consist of praying for nine consecutive days for a specific purpose, for example, the liberation and protection of our bodies and souls. We can make the Lord our refuge whenever we have to face evil, external dangers, temptation, and our own weaknesses! „Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.” (Psalm 71:3).
Hozana encourages you to pray for the Lord to liberate us and protect us in all areas of our lives. For example, you can pray the novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots to ask for shelter and intercession in your spiritual battles. You can also start a novena in response to the Pope’s call to pray the Holy Rosary daily, to fight against evil and protect the Church. Discover other novenas for spiritual struggles in Hozana’s offer!
God has placed angels and archangels at the service of humanity. They watch over us and help us in our spiritual battles. The intercession of Saint Micheal the Archangel is particularly powerful, the Commander of the Army of God and the chief opponent of Satan. He gives us strength and courage to fight evil. We can also invoke our guardian angel to ask for his protection and support. Do not hesitate to reach out to them in your prayers, as the Church encourages us to do. You can find several retreats and prayer communities for the angels and archangels on Hozana! It is important to know about their mission and invoke them in times of need! Remember that these celestial beings have been created to defend us from evil and are always ready to help us. Do not hesitate to pray and invoke the Lord and the angels to protect you whenever you face the enemy.
„When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you” (Deuteronomy 20:1).
