As we celebrate Independence Day in the US, it got me thinking about true freedom which is NOT independence from God.

Welcome to episode 2! **Please read the disclaimer below for clarification!**Let us know what you think in the comments and stay tuned for the rest of the conversation in a future episode. **DISCLAIMER**In this episode, we discussed the power of prayer against the attacks of the enemy, referencing the imprecatory prayers in the Psalms. However, we want to make it clear that as believers in Christ, our battle is never against people, but against the forces of darkness.Ephesians 6:12 reminds us:“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”Ephesians 6:12 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/eph.6.12.NKJV Scripture makes it clear that those who devise evil will ultimately fall into their own traps: “Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.”Proverbs 26:27 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/pro.26.27.NKJV“The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.”Psalms 9:15-16 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/psa.9.15-16.NKJVOur prayers should always be directed against the enemy—Satan and his schemes—not against individuals. We are called to love our enemies and pray for their repentance and salvation. “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”Matthew 5:44-45 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/mat.5.44-45.NKJV. A curse without cause cannot harm a child of God. “Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight.”Proverbs 26:2 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/pro.26.2.NKJV When we stand with God and follow His commands, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.”Isaiah 54:17 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/isa.54.17.NKJV Our goal is to stand firm in spiritual warfare while walking in the love and authority given to us through Christ. We encourage all soldiers to pray with discernment, aligning their prayers with the heart of God, who desires all to come to repentance. “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”2 Peter 3:9 NKJVhttps://bible.com/bible/114/2pe.3.9.NKJV.May we remain steadfast in faith, praying with wisdom and love.
