Thank you, blazeofhope, that devotional summarizes exactly what is happening in our days. I was reminded of Rev. 2:13 where it is said to the church at one particular state: "I know wheere you dwell, where Satan's seat is..." Satan might already have captured our churches - and the LORD himself is already out, cf. Rev. 3:20 where he knocks from outside at the doors of our churches or meetings.

So, in that sense we pray, "Let the Holy Spirit do his work in us individually and when we come together as believers to worship You and fellowship with one another..." (quote from b's prayer) - AMEN!
