DO NOT ANSWER THE PRAYERS OF MY ENEMIES, OH LORD (2)

Post date: Jun 5, 2019 6:46:10 AM

One prayer that many Christians are failing to pray is that God should not grant the request of their enemies or answer their prayers or desires against them. Christians should realize that Satan will never in any way announce to their hearing that he is their enemy; he will not reveal himself as one, and will do everything to cover up his activities in their lives. Satan will always hide all of his activities against you, will always hide all of his plans against you, will always make his agents come to you as friends, colleagues, people with a common interest and will seek to be very close to you while harming and working hard against you and against every plan of God for your life. It should be noted that before Satan attacked Job, he spent years following him, observing and knowing the source of his wealth, of his strength, and of his confidence. He knew all of his children and their locations, he knew all of his possessions and their locations, he knew all of his servants and works and there was nothing personal that Job could hide from his knowledge and from his sight and from his reach. The only thing that Satan did not know about Job was his determination to trust the Lord irrespective of the situation he finds.

Asking God to frustrated their plans, asking God not to answer any of their prayers, asking God to deny them their request against you, and asking God not to grant their wicked desires against you is not new, it is very appropriate and it is scriptural. This what the Scripture says;

“Huddle together, you nations, and be terrified. Listen, all you distant lands prepare for battle but you will be crushed. Yes, prepare for battle but you will be crushed. Call your councils of war, but they will be worthless. Develop your strategies, but they will not succeed. For God is with us. The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said, don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don’t live in dread of what frightens them. Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear. He is the one who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe. But to Israel and Judah, He will be a stone that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem, He will be a trap and a snare. Many will stumble and fall, never to rise again. They will be snared and captured. Preserve the teaching of God; entrust His instructions to those who follow me. I will wait for the Lord who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob. I will put my hope in him.  I and the children the Lord has given me serve as signs and warnings to Israel from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies who dwells in his Temple on Mount Zion. Someone may say to you, let’s ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do. But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?” Isaiah 8:9-19

This is how the scripture describes their activities 1. They huddle together, - they come together with a common interest against whatever you are, whatever you do, and whatever you desire; they gather information from people who are close and has influence or knowledge on what you do to do whatever they desire; they huddle together to deny you of the benefits of your labor and struggles, they huddle together to think and execute evil plans, but the Holy Scripture concludes, they will be terrified by what God will do against them, and what God will do for you, defending you, guarding you, leading you, stopping their actions, rewarding and restoring you above what they think even when their power is above yours, when their wealth is above yours, and their knowledge is above yours. When God defends, amazing things happen. God refused the request against Daniel and delivered him from the den of lions they believed will be his final end. God refused the desires of evil against Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego when they were to be killed in the burning furnace by the heat and the flames of fire. Oh God refuse the desire and request of my enemies against me now in the name of Jesus Christ. Prayer Request Click here
