Did you know the enemy is targeting your peace?

In this episode of Generations at the Table, Megann Marcellino shares a startling personal story of witnessing, alongside her young daughter, a hawk crush and carry off a dove. God spoke through this incident a spiritual reality: the enemy, like a hawk, is “locked in” to target your peace. But God is calling you to flip the script, to be aware of the enemy’s schemes, and guard your peace with unwavering focus. As Believers in a spiritual battle, we’re not called to passivity but to lock our gaze on the Author and Perfecter of our Faith with intention, and take action to pursue peace, love, and joy. Consider creating a plan to protect your peace by:

1. Identifying the target: Asking God what the enemy is targeting in your life, such as finances, health, or marriage.
2. Building a hedge: Utilizing prayer and promises from scripture like Psalm 91, rather than worrying or speaking out concerns.
3. Guarding the gates of your mind: Being diligent about what you see and hear, stewarding relationships, and disengaging from negative conversations.
4. Speaking peace: Making outward decrees of peace, joy, and wisdom over your circumstances.

Join Megann as she shares the wisdom of Proverbs 4:23, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues of life", the meaning of the Hebrew word for guard, “Shamar”, and why peace is not passive, but is to be guarded and protected.
