The blessing the apostle Paul expects from God is victory over Satan.
Paul expects a victory that includes:
- all designs and devices of Satan against souls - to defile, disturb, and destroy them
- all his attempts to keep us from the peace of heaven here and the possession of heaven hereafter.
When Satan seems to prevail and we are ready to give up all as lost, then will the God of peace get involved in our behalf. We just have to hold out with faith and patience for a little while.
If the grace of Christ is with us, who can prevail against us?

Bombings have killed many Christians. My heart is saddened at this type of persecution. However, my brothers and sisters were set free to go home to Jesus.
