Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

The WORD tells those reconciled unto the Family of God by the blood of Jesus to pray (communicate with God) with all kinds of prayers, and not just for the saints (sons and daughters of God). Our prayers are also to include the police as well as the hooligans clearly hell bent on non-productive behavior; for the President of our country as well as political leaders of every party in every (i.e., federal, state, municipal) level of government; for neighborhoods as well as households; for friends as well as foes; so forth and so on (Ephesians 6:18; 1Ti 2:1-2). In other words, prayer is not just for “me, myself, and I”, and not just for those we like. The LORD God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth gave dominion over the earth to man (i.e., male, female). Therefore, every spirit, whether such be of God or of the enemy of God must work through people. Adhering to the principles of God’s Kingdom of Light as delineated in God’s WORD or doing as the LORD strongly advises or sowing the WORD (by what we think and what we speak and what we do) allows God to work through each of us for the benefit of the collective. That God never changes necessarily includes the fact that God never goes back on His WORD which never returns void, accomplishing everything for which He sends it (1 Samuel 15:29; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:7; Isaiah 55:11). Therefore, as God gave man dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28), He works through man as we invite Him into our personal lives on a daily basis. The Living Word tells us that the evil one comes to “steal, kill, and destroy” John 10:10. Whether consciously or not, what man allows to: enter his eargate and/or eyegate; permeate his thoughts; speak from his mouth; act upon; it may come to pass. The WORD tells us to “resist the devil and he will flee from you” James 4:7, because he is a defeated foe. The Lord Jesus defeated the enemy of God at The Cross, and descended into the evil one’s relegated area to take back the keys of death and Hades (Colossians 2:15; Revelation 1:18). The Lord Jesus said he has given us power “. . . over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” Luke 10:19 (KJV). That is, we have been given the authority which God the Father bestowed His glorious, majestic, and powerful Name (Ephesians 1:21). Hallelujah! The Name above all names belongs to all who’ve been rendered sons and daughters of God by the blood of Jesus the Anointed One; we have authority to: resist and cast down doubt in the Jesus’ name, resist and cast down fear in Jesus’ Name, and bind Satan in the Name of Jesus. Every whisper of the evil one is irreconcilably opposed to the way of God. However, those who yield as vessels so that God may move effectively by His Spirit among mankind are sent to: “heal the sick; cause finances to come to those in need; and bring God’s compassionate love to the brokenhearted”. Even in the midst of Jesus’ agonizing sacrifice (The Passion) so that man would be eternally positioned to choose abundant life, He asked Abba Father to forgive them because “ . . . they know not what they do” Luke 23:34. We are encouraged to adhere to 2Co 10:3-5 because it is true unto us according to 2Co 10:4 by the finished work of our Lord Jesus. (And) I’m grateful.
