Praying for your enemies

The source for those last two posts are http://march.now.org/coalition.html and http://www.marchforwomen.org/cosponsors/congress.php.

I am not kidding about praying for them, I am printing out those lists and going to be in prayer over them each day.  Feel free to do so yourselves. 

How do you pray for those who make you want to vomit?  How do you love those who hate everything you stand for? By the Grace of God, that's how.  I truely don't hate anyone one on that list.  Yes they make me angry but the way I see it, they are decieved, they are believing lies from Satan.  With God all things are possible.  First I will ask him to put a love for these ppl in my heart, so that I will not grow weary. Then I will ask that he touch thier hearts, minds and spirit. That he would break threw and that they would see truth and turn to God.  Only God can do a work in thier lives and change them, nothing I do or say will change minds unless God is already working on them.

I know I have posted alot this week on the abortion issue and some of you are probly thinking "engh all ready" lol But this is what is going on in the World and what God is working on with me in my life.  Some times I feel discouraged, like the whole world is agenst me and what good is it to keep up with speaking about these things, who is listioning and who cares. But God tells me Do not grow weary of doing good, lean on him for his strenth and do not let the enemy get me down.  Those of you who read me know that this is not the only thing I write about and that my journal has a wide spectrum of topics, but ultmently they all center around my relationship with Jesus and my family life.  So stick with me, I am sure the topic is bound to change sometime soon lol.

Words of advice from thegoodsteward.com

"Obviously, we should pray for the salvation of those that favor abortion. We should pray also for the leaders that should – and can – stop it. We should pray for the women who have the abortions, and for the emotional, spiritual and psychological pain they are sure to endure as a result of their selfish decision. We should pray for fathers of the children that have been denied a voice in the decision. We should pray for “parents” that have denied themselves the blessings of parenthood. We should pray for all those that are working to stop abortion. There are other specific prayers related to abortion that will come to your mind. Pray them."

Wonderful artical I just read with the above quote in it.  If you are or arn't as angry as I am over the abortion issue, this is a must read! It reminds us that yes our anger is well placed and even right, we should also pray for our enemy and bless them and love them.

Lord I lift of the hearts and minds that are involved in this deep spitural war. Lord prick the walls that have been built up, touch the harden hearts whith your love. May the seeds of your truth be planted and grow and florish. Cast the demonic strong holds off  those who faver abortion and open thier eyes to the truth. Touch the Doctors, the nurses, the mothers, the fathers, the grandparnts, the friends, who are at these clinics.  May they come to know your mercy.  Touch our leaders Lord.  Call us back to you.  Do not forsake us but have pitty on us. Lord use me, your servant, in any way to fight in this war.  Put some one in my path today who you would have me speak with and show them your Truth.  IN JESUS NAME I PRAY. AMEN.

FREEDOM

Today I read a new journal. It was posted in The Journal Keepers group.  It only had a few entries but it was so very honest and real.  She made me think of days that I had long left back in the past and have been healed of.

No secrect that I have had many hurts in my life, we all have them, but we all choose differnt ways to deal with them. If you have ever read my testimony (posted in my other sites list) you may of read in greater detail of how I used sex and drugs and drinking to cover up and stuff down those deeper hurts.  Thinking back I see how dark of a place I was in compared to where I am today and I am sooooo THANKFUL!  I was in bondage and didn't even relize it at the time.  I was living a dead life and if I had stayed on that path I would surely be either on the streets or dead.  I look at those who dont have what I have, those who dont have hope in thier lives and it makes me deeply sad and I want to reach out and embrace them and show them who they can cast all thier cares on. I wish they could see what I see. I don't want to sound like a fanatic but I guess I just really am.  When you have tasted of the light, when you felt the HolySpirit, when you have hope and that joy that goes beyoend human understanding, when it all just clicks, you can't just hold that in!

It is no lie, it is total truth that if you give your life over to Jesus you will find healing to all those wounds you carry in you, You will have forgivness for all the things you have done, you will be redeemed, You will have strenth that will take you threw any tribulation. You will have FREEDOM from all that binds you and ties you up, freedom from the evil that clouds your thoughts and tells you lies, those demons will flee. You will have HOPE AND JOY. Hope for a life beyonde what you see here and Joy from the Lord.  Not a fake felling that you get from drugs or false emotions.

If you come to him and just tell him, I can't do it my own way anymore, it has lead me to no where, I need YOU In my life Jesus.  I believe in you and I trust you. I believe what it says in the Bible, that you came to to redeem me and to forgive me of my sins, and that you hung on a cross for ME and then arose from the dead, I am sorry for all my sins, sins that put you up on that cross and I am looking for a change,come and live in my heart, send me your spirit so that I may understand you and your words, you will see a differnt life.  Mark it down the day you say that prayer, because that is the day it all will start to change!
