![]() Proverbs 24:17 GNB Don’t be glad when your enemies meet disaster, and don’t rejoice when they stumble. I’m riding through life gloriously, making progress with giant strides, in Jesus’ Name. Your love is daily expressed through me in my thoughts, words, and actions. But your role is to pray for them, hoping God would grant them repentance unto the acknowledging of the truth.ĭear Father, thank you for your love that’s shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit, and for the fullness of Christ in my heart. That’s the fate of anyone who professes to be your enemy. There was no need for him to pray against his enemies they simply took their place: they stumbled and fell. Read the words of David in Psalm 27:2: “When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.” You’ve been raised together with Christ! Greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world. ![]() It makes no difference how many people gang up against you, they’re not a factor. You’re too sweet in your spirit to be bitter or take record of the wrongs done to you.ĭon’t give attention to your adversaries, for they don’t count. You’re too full of love to hate or curse anyone. You may feel hurt, and upset or angry, but refuse to hate. Jesus said, “Pray for,” not against, your enemies: “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). Stay in the Spirit don’t be perturbed by whatever your enemy may be scheming against you. What God wants is for us to pray in the Spirit: “Praying always with all prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT…” (Ephesians 6:18). When you pray against your enemies, that’s walking in the flesh that’s praying in the flesh. Our opening verse says, “…Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust (desire) of the flesh.” It’s the desire of the flesh to see the death of your enemies, but the desire of the Spirit is to see their salvation. Those who pray like that are praying according to the desire of the flesh, not according to the Spirit. Sometimes, some Christians, while praying, would say, “Whatever evil my enemies have planned against me, Lord, give them double! Anyone who wants me dead, let that one rather die a sudden death!” No, this isn’t the right way to pray as a Christian not when you’re full of the Spirit! ![]() This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES…NOT AGAINST THEM BY PASTOR CHRIS. RHAPSODY OF REALITIES THURSDAY, 7TH MARCH. ![]()
