一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 以弗所書6:10-13 Ephesians

10 我還有末了的話：你們要靠著主，倚賴他的大能大力作剛強的人。 11 要穿戴　神所賜的全副軍裝，就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。 12 因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰（原文是摔跤；下同），乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的，以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。 13 所以，要拿起　神所賜的全副軍裝，好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵，並且成就了一切，還能站立得住。
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1.為墨西哥禱告：天主教一向都是墨西哥最大的宗教，但是在過去七十年天主教信徒在墨西哥減少了20%。但是過去十年裡基督徒的比例卻增加了4%。令人警惕的是，2020年的人口普查結果顯示，相較於2010年，稱自己沒有任何信仰的人口比例從4.7%增加到8.1%。求神幫助墨西哥的信徒堅定相信主，也熱心傳福音。
Pray for Mexico. Catholicism has historically dominated the religious spectrum in Mexico but in the last seventy years, it has declined by about 20 percent. On the other hand, the percentage of Protestant believers has increased by about 4 percent in the past decade. At the same time, according to a 2020 census, the percentage of people identifying as nonreligious rose from 4.7 to 8.1 percent. Pray that Mexico’s believers will be firmly rooted in God’s Word.

2.為美國疫情禱告：在Delta變種病毒的肆虐下，美國疫情有所提升，上週單日確診人數曾達15萬人，特別是在一些疫苗施打率低的州裡面疫情相對嚴峻。求神感動未接受疫苗的人快快接種疫苗，憐憫美國使重症的人康復，疫情在美國消退。
Pray for the COVID. The COVID pandemic in the US is on the rising due to the Delta variant. Last week, there were once over 150 thousand people contracted in a single day.
